đź’ˇ Feature Idea: Enable Dynamic or Linked Image References in Storyline 360 (Similar to Captivate)
Hi Articulate Team and Community, I’d like to share a feature idea that could make media management much more efficient for developers working on large or frequently updated Storyline projects. Scenario: In many projects, we utilize screenshots and visual assets that are updated regularly — for example, UI captures for software simulations or interface updates. Currently, when these assets change, we must manually replace each image in Storyline or use the Media Library to replace files one by one. Feature Request: It would be incredibly useful if Storyline could link images (and other media) to an external folder or repository, so that when an image file in that folder is updated (and the filename remains the same), it automatically updates inside the Storyline project. This kind of “dynamic asset linking” or “live reference” is already supported in some authoring tools like Adobe Captivate, where media can be linked rather than embedded — allowing updates to flow into the project automatically. Implementing this in Storyline would: Greatly reduce repetitive media replacement work. Ensure consistency across modules. Improve workflows for teams using shared design systems or asset libraries. Even a toggle or advanced option like “Link to file instead of embed” when inserting media would be a game-changer! Would love to hear what the Articulate team and community think about this. Thanks, Shashi GCentralized Team Media Library for All Articulate Projects
I wanted to float an idea that I think could really streamline our workflow and improve consistency across our eLearning projects: a shared, customizable internal media library for all Articulate projects. Right now, internal media assets are uploaded and stored on a per-course basis. Wouldn't it be great if we had a global repository where the team could upload media, categorized, add alt text, and reused across any Articulate course? This would not only save time but also help maintain visual consistency and branding across our learning content. Curious to hear what others think or if something similar to this already exists and I am just not aware of it. Thanks!Personalized Audio Feedback in Storyline
Today I tackled a unique challenge in Articulate Storyline: creating a multiple choice question with five answer options, each triggering distinct audio feedback based on the learner’s selection. 🔊 Why audio feedback? Because learning is more impactful when it feels personal. Instead of generic “Correct” or “Try Again” messages, each response now delivers tailored guidance—reinforcing the right answer and constructively addressing misconceptions. 🛠️ How I did it: Created custom feedback layers for each option Imported and assigned unique audio files Used conditional triggers to play the right audio when learners click Submit Disabled default feedback to keep the experience clean and focused ✨ Result: A more immersive, learner-centered experience that supports retention and engagement.Content Library Search Bar
With the recent updates, the content library's search bar is in the scrolling part of the window. Before, the search bar was stationary and visible no matter how far you scrolled down. Unfortunately with the recent release, you have to scroll all the way back to the top to get back to the search bar, which is very annoying. Please switch it back so we can change search terms without having to scroll all the way back up to the top.Ideas Portal
The community has suggested a huge amount of ideas over the years. Can we have a searchable portal so we can see them all in one place: ID/Category/Post Date/Review Date/Description/Comments/Votes/Related Ideas Status Reviewed Under Consideration Low Probability of Delivery Fair Probability of Delivery In-Progress Currently AvailableMore medical characters without stethoscopes.
For anyone who is developing training in the medical community, there is a new requirement that characters be shown without a stethoscope around their neck as this is a safety hazard. Some more variety of medical characters that don't have stethoscopes around their neck would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
