Is Articulate extremely slow after the latest Windows update?
Hi, Is it just me? Or have other people had serious lag time using Rise and Storyline after the latest Windows updates? Trying to get the preview to play, hitting spacebar, adjusting CC on audio and video files, and even just opening Storyline or Rise is taking really long. I'm trying to figure out if this is an issue with my laptop or a wider issue. Thanks!How to Restrict Navigation on an Interactive Slide
Working on updating and refreshing a group of compliance courses for a biannual release and some of the slides need to be locked until they complete the activity. My question is about how to throw an "Error" message for the learner when they try to click the NEXT button before completing the required activity. I've been able to do this using variables and triggers, but this additional step will throw an error message if they try to click the greyed out next button. I found a very nice, simple video tutorial from Yukon Learning on how to do this and it's very straightforward, however in the video they recommend adding a hotspot shape (with no trigger) over the activity, on each layer and I have no clue as to what this is supposed to be doing. Can someone explain this to me? Wouldn't that prevent the activity from working, such as clicking on an icon to show a layer, etc.? Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaDTQInTgGs Thanks for your insights!Word/PPT files opening in two tabs, while PDF opens in one – Browser-specific behavior?
Hi Everyone, I’m observing different behaviors when opening external files using the “Open URL/File” trigger in Storyline 360. Here’s what I’ve noticed: PDF files open in a single new tab. Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) files open in two tabs: One blank/untitled tab One tab where the file loads or downloads Initially, I tested this in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and later confirmed the same behavior in Microsoft Edge as well. From what I understand: Microsoft Edge has specific settings for handling PDF documents. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are both Chromium-based browsers, but they may have different controls and capabilities when handling web-based interactions. Unlike Edge (for PDFs), Google Chrome does not have a built-in option to open Microsoft Office files directly in the browser. Chrome and Firefox do not natively support viewing Office documents unless a plugin or extension (like a Docs viewer extension) is installed. Therefore, it seems this behavior is browser-specific and not directly controlled by Articulate Storyline. Since Storyline cannot control how browsers handle specific file types, I assume the double-tab behavior may be related to how the browser processes unsupported file formats. Has anyone else experienced this? Is converting Office files to PDF the only reliable workaround? Appreciate your insights! And my personal opinion would be to bring some update in Storyline so that all external files can be treated as same?Audio not playing on slide launch
Hello, I have recently finished a Storyline 360 course development and when I put it into my LMS, Docebo, the first slide plays almost entirely before the audio starts. Since that slide auto-advances, it cuts off the audio and goes to the next slide. This replicates for the first slide in each scene. What can I do to stop this from happening? I have created a similar ticket to this with Docebo, but they're saying they don't replicate it. At our office, we replicate this on multiple systems. This is not specifically happening on the Articulate Review link, but when testing this the SME said that she is experiencing it when she pauses the content to comment and when she selects play to begin the content again, the video starts in advance of the audio, and then it advances before she hears all the audio. I am assuming this is related to the size of the file... It's 297 MB. Thank you for your help.Son audio coupé
Bonjour la communauté, Je suis en train de concevoir un module E-learning et les utilisateurs testent le module de formation. Le commentaire négatif qui ressort le plus est que les phrases audio sont souvent coupés au début ou à la fin. En effet, je constate souvent que le premier mot, voire les 2 premiers mots, sont inaudibles pour l’utilisateur. Commentaire je crée l’audio ? Je vais dans le menu Insertion / Audio / Synthèse vocale, je tape mon texte, et je clique sur le bouton Générer. On m’a dit que ça pouvait venir du réseau qui ne peut pas toujours gérer de grosses masses de données convenablement, mais cet argument ne tient pas la route quand j’utilise un très haut débit comme la fibre. Pouvez- vous m’aider à trouver d’où vient le problème, comment y remédier, ou au pire, trouver une solution de contournement. Bonne journée AlexandreAudio qui sont coupés au début d'un slide
Bonjour depuis quelque temps (mise à jour décembre) nous avons des problème avec les audios qui se coupent en début de slide de manière aléatoire. Est ce qu'il y a une solution ou faut-il attendre une nouvelle mise à jour. D'ailleurs il y a un autre soucis, lorsque l'on duplique un calque qui contient des groupe d'éléments les groupe se dégroupe.Review Quiz slide bug
I have 2 quiz banks in a project. I have set it up to only review incorrect answers and when revisiting to automatically decide. One shows the feedback for all the questions with the correct/incorrect popup For the second one I am only getting a red bar for 1 question from the bank and nothing else. I want both the quizzes to show all the questions in the bank without showing the correct answer ( similar to the attached screenshot - Want it to look like this) but it is not doing that for the second question bank, What am i doing wrong?Preview mode and Review 360 mode
This is very bizarre -- i have several projects that have triggers set up to go to the next slide when the timeline ends. But for some reason, this new issue has emerged where this one specific slide with an .mp4 video and .m4a audio will not automatically play after published to Review 360 or published to SCORM. It functions as designed in "Preview" mode but not currently in Review 360. Q: Why is slide 2 not playing automatically?? I've been trying everything to resolve -- added a trigger "Play media 'screencast" when timeline starts" and "Play media 'Audio 1' when timeline starts." This seemed to work at first and then eventually caused other issues in the slide - no audio and when pressing replay, audio and video do not sync.

I am working on a project in Storyline where learners will be able to enter text responses to some questions. I have published the project using SCROM 2004, however I am unable to locate the learner responses to those open ended questions. Is there another LMS I should be using? Any suggestions would be helpful. I have included one of the open ended question slides I am working on.
