Auto Play Audio
It has been mentioned a few times but I think this is a bigger issue than the developers realize. I am the lead on a major project and we are converting all of our safety training videos and on the job training courses through Rise 360. We have over 300 employees in our facility and well over 50% are English as a second language team members. Having an auto play feature in rise 360 is crucial for our success. It ensures that every employee—regardless of reading level or language proficiency—receives the full content of each lesson without missing critical information. Instead of relying on individuals to manually activate audio or navigate complex menus, the Auto Play function would deliver a consistent and accessible learning experience for everyone. This not only improves comprehension for our ESL team members but also reduces confusion, minimizes repeated training sessions, and ensures that all safety messages are communicated clearly and effectively. I really hope the developers come up with something soon, as I see this has been the concern of many since the start.PDF Reader or View PDF via Scrolling Panel
The ask: Could a PDF reader or an addition to the scrolling panel allowing PDFs be added to Storyline's functionality? Our team is required to present manual pages in our lessons, necessitating the use of a scrolling panels. To display manuals or textbook pages that are saved as PDFs in Storyline, you must process the conversion of the PDF in a third-party program. After the conversion, you must import the images and align each page individually in the scrolling panel. The pages must be grouped in a certain way for the scrolling panel to populate correctly. I’ve included a Review 360 link with an example of what the end results looks like: Review 360: PDF Scrolling Panel Example If a PDF reader was included in Storylines toolset, it would make life for designers much easier. Our team is looking for the following features: Allowing PDFs to be imported into Storyline without the need for conversion to JPEG or PNG Automated scrolling for multiple pages. Say the PDF has multiple pages, the user can either flip through the pages or scroll through them. How would it function?: Additional functionality to scrolling panels OR including a built in PDF reader to Storyline's toolset Additional Functionality: Zoom functions Enable PDF bookmarks We appreciate any updates or notice on building this functionality, if possible.Review 360: can we transfer comments from one link to another?
Greetings, For a single Storyline project, I use Review 360 for the following groups... a link for our dev team a link for a group of clients a link for a different group of client I essentially have 3 Review links for the same SL file, all accessible with the comment pane. Can we transfer comments from the client group #2's link to our dev team's link, as they are for the same project? While I can access them with the comment pane in Storyline, our main issue is that we need to filter each comment and avoid responding to those, since the clients will be notified. Is there a way for me to "export comments from one link" and "import those comments in another link", hoping that each comment will be placed according to their respective slides? Thanks in advance :) P.S. I say Storyline, but I'm sure Rise could benefit from this.Drag & Drop Questions in Rise Knowledge Checks
Hello Articulate: I love being able to add quick knowledge check questions to a rise presentation, but I miss the ability to add a drag and drop question where you have say four items that need to be dragged to only two targets. I know that Rise has matching questions and that Storyline can create a drag and drop learning object, but it would be great if such a question could be added in Rise itself. Please let me know if this is viable. Thanks and regards Alex YoungGive triggers names to help remember what they are for
Hi, Ever wondered what a trigger was for? I have a few in a project that are JS triggers and I can never remember which is which if I want to copy and paste to another slide. We need the ability to add a name or a description to a trigger. The name can be added in the Triggers panel when creating it. Perhaps the name/description can be hidden in an icon in the triggers side panel so to not take up room, but if you roll over it the name/description appears? I created a quick example to help get my idea across. Thanks for your consideration! RussThe translation step between storyboard and Rise
Hi everyone, I wanted to share an idea and sanity-check something with this community. One friction point I keep running into in Rise isn’t design or content creation, it’s the time it takes to "translate" an approved storyboard into a build that still makes instructional sense. Not rewriting anything. Not rethinking the learning. Just deciding how each piece of an already-approved storyboard should actually live in Rise. Which block type fits best? What order supports the learning objectives? What needs to be split, grouped, or signposted so the experience still works for learners? That translation step is where I see a lot of hours disappear. It’s also where instructional intent can quietly drift, simply because there are so many small judgment calls to make along the way. Lately I’ve been thinking about how that step could be faster and more consistent, without turning it into a push-button conversion or removing instructional judgment. I’ve seen a few options popping up, but they don’t really consider the instructional angle, or the pros and cons of different Rise block types from a learning perspective. I’m curious: How much time do you typically spend translating storyboards into Rise? Where do you feel the most drag or rework? What parts of that step feel most repetitive or manual? I’m pressure-testing a concept around this (while keeping instructional intent intact) and would love to exchange perspectives with anyone who’s felt this friction too. Thanks.What if most course review pain points come from the same root issue?
I’ve been noticing something during course reviews that I can’t unsee anymore. A lot of the most common pain points in L&D tend to show up together: courses that feel unclear even when the content is accurate, long review cycles with lots of subjective feedback, inconsistent standards across modules or teams, stakeholder disagreement about “what good looks like,” cognitive overload on otherwise solid screens, accessibility gaps caught late, endless rewrites that don’t really improve the experience, and very little shared way to measure quality. Individually, these look like separate problems. But together, they start to feel like a standards and clarity gap, not a content gap. Lately, I’ve been exploring whether having a shared review lens — one that looks at clarity, consistency, accessibility, and experience as a whole — could reduce a lot of this friction earlier in the process. I’m curious: Do these issues tend to cluster for you too? Where do reviews usually break down? What’s helped you create more alignment, if anything? I’m interested in patterns more than tools.Enhancing Review 360 Feedback Management with Categorization Tags
Currently, in Review 360, feedback and comments provided during reviews are captured in a generic format without any structured categorization. This often leads to ambiguity when interpreting feedback, as reviewers and developers must manually infer whether a comment refers to an error, an enhancement suggestion, or a query. The lack of classification makes prioritization and resolution time-consuming, especially when handling large volumes of feedback across multiple stakeholders. Post-implementation of the proposed feature—a dropdown selection allowing users to tag feedback as Error, Enhancement, Query or Not applicable—the process becomes significantly more streamlined. Categorization at the point of entry ensures clarity, enabling teams to filter and sort feedback based on type, prioritize critical issues, and allocate resources effectively. This structured approach not only improves communication between reviewers and developers but also accelerates decision-making and enhances overall productivity by reducing misinterpretation and manual effort. This categorization should also be reflected in the generated reports.Ability to make text elements selectable
Allow storyline course developers choose if users can select text on specific elements, i.e., When in the "Format Shape" dialog, on the "Text Box" tab, if there could be a simple Radio button for "Selectable Text". With this switched on, users could select the text on screen to perform a copy paste, they could then use their assistive technology to read out the selection. Would be also good if there was a global setting that simply made any and all text elements in the course have "Selectable Text", i.e., switch the "Selectable Text" radio button on for all text elements in a course. Finally, this request stems from a user’s inability to use Mac VoiceOver in Safari (or any browser for that matter) to Select the Text in a course and have it read aloud to them. It is possibly for Mac VoiceOver to access the text elements via key commands (however, very clunky compared with other screen readers on the market). Using a screen reader isn’t always done via keyboard commands as this user clearly shows. Some (like this case) prefer to select text on screen and then have it read aloud rather than using key commands to navigate the Storyline screens. Accessibility requirement.
