I’m wondering whether it’s possible to integrate an AI-powered learning assistant into a Rise e-learning course (e.g., via a Code Block) that can access the entire course content—and ideally beyond—so learners can ask questions and interact socially. Constraints: ChatGPT integration is not an option. We use Microsoft Copilot, but creating a direct interface seems very challenging. Data privacy is a critical concern. Questions: Has anyone experimented with alternative LLMs or approaches for this scenario? Are there privacy-friendly solutions (e.g., on-premise or self-hosted models) that could work? Any creative ideas for enabling learner interaction without compromising compliance? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and suggestions!149Views2likes2CommentsCan you plublish select multiple scenes in Storyline 360?
Hi, We have several clients that use 90% of the same content in our multi scene lessons. Is there any way to publish MULTIPLE but not ALL scenes in a project? For example we'd like to publish scene 1,2,3,4 for client 1 but 1,2,4 for client 2 and 1,3,4 for client 3, etc. Thanks, Lori18Views0likes1CommentStoryline audio stops working on random slides
I’ve been working with Storyline for some time, but this time I’ve encountered an issue where I’m unable to identify any clear cause or logic behind what’s happening. I currently have four modules published from Storyline, both for SCORM and Review. During the review process, one of my colleagues commented that a particular slide did not have audio. However, when I checked, the audio was present on the slide timeline and played correctly on my end in both Review and Preview. Another co-worker of mine also confirmed that the audio worked for her. 🙃 I then published the module to SCORM and uploaded it to Moodle. While conducting final testing, I noticed that a few slides are experiencing the same issue. The audio does not play when the slide starts. To make the audio work, I either need to: go back to the previous slide and return to the slide, or let the slide timeline finish (in restricted mode), then drag the timeline back to the beginning, at which point the audio starts playing. I would prefer not to create a trigger on every slide to play the audio, as the audio should automatically play when the slide timeline starts. Additionally, most of the slides are working correctly, and only a few slides are affected, which makes it difficult to determine the cause. if anyone has encountered similar issues and have some suggestions or tips on how to fix this. I would greatly appreciate the help!!!1.8KViews0likes52CommentsWhat do you use for storyline file Version control tools? Git?
Hey everyone, In our organization, we often have more than one person needing to edit a storyline file. It's becoming a version control nightmare. I thought git might work as a version control system forcing user to check out/in files when they are going to work on them. My boss thinks git would not be right for this purpose. We are currently just using the honor system and trying to force everyone to append the current date in their file names (e.g. myfile_04022026.story), but not everyone does and it's a huge problem. We really need a tool for this instead. How do you all manage this? What tools have you found that work well? What tools have been a disaster for this? All advice welcome! Thanks, Lori196Views1like6CommentsBehind the Scenes: Storyline’s Move to Modern .NET
We just wrapped a project that’s been hanging over Storyline for a long time: Moving from .NET Framework 4.8 to modern .NET (now .NET 10). This one goes deeper than it might sound. Back when Storyline was first built, choosing .NET Framework was the obvious call. This was 2010-ish. Windows dominated our space, and the .NET ecosystem gave us a lot of what we needed to move fast and build a really capable tool. That decision worked. For a long time. It also shaped some of the realities of the product today. Questions about platform support come up a lot, and early architectural choices like this are a big part of that story. They helped us move fast early on, but they also made certain paths more complex later. Fast forward to now… Microsoft has effectively stopped evolving .NET Framework and put their energy into modern .NET. Meanwhile, we were still running on a foundation that wasn’t keeping pace with where things were going. So we made the call to move. This wasn’t a simple upgrade. We relied on parts of .NET Framework that don’t exist anymore. AppDomains. Binary serialization. A handful of “seemed like a great idea at the time” features that modern .NET intentionally left behind. We had to rethink and rebuild some pretty fundamental parts of the product. So what did all of this actually get us? We’re now on a modern, actively supported runtime. It’s easier for us to keep improving performance, adopt new capabilities, and evolve the platform without constantly working around legacy constraints. We also retired some very old pieces of the system along the way, which… felt pretty great 😅 And then there's performance. Microsoft has invested heavily at performance improvements in modern .NET, and we're seeing that surface in Storyline. We ran benchmarks across 18 Storyline projects, measuring open, save, and publish times. Every single project got faster with improvements ranging from 0.4% to nearly 30%. The larger the project, the larger the improvement. In the animated gif below, I put .NET Framework (left) head-to-head with modern .NET publishing the same course. Neither project was pre-published to warm the cache, and I even gave .NET Framework a slight head start by clicking Publish there first. The gif is sped up for easier viewing, but the result is real: modern .NET finishes publishing well before .NET Framework. Big credit to the team that pulled this off. This was deep, risky work in some of the most critical parts of the product. Curious to hear from folks here: If you're on the latest Storyline 360, have you noticed any performance improvements when opening, saving, or publishing your projects?499Views9likes5CommentsArticulate Rise text alignment issue after update
I attached screenshots from before and after the Articulate Rise update. After the update, the paragraph text shifted inward automatically. It is now left-misaligned compared with the other objects. Please let me know if there is a fix.224Views10likes7CommentsStoryline Trigger : Submit multiple choice
Hello, I have a quiz module that is made by 5 different quizzes (organized as questions bank) specifically designed for various roles across the organization. To generate them I import the questions from a file into Storyline. Once insde the storyfile, I have to deactivate the submit default button of the player to use my customised button on each slide. The problem is that for every question I have to manually set the trigger which is a waste of time and it implies also a possible risk of human error. Is it possible to add a functionality to apply the submit trigger automatically in a set of slides? Thanks andrea103Views0likes5CommentsHindi Font Rendering Issue in Safari and Mozilla Firefox
Hi, We have created a course in Articulate Storyline in Hindi. During testing, we noticed that the Hindi matras are not rendering properly in Mozilla Firefox and Safari browsers. Please refer to the enclosed screenshots for examples of the issue. We have already tried using different fonts, including Google Noto Sans Devanagari and other Hindi-native fonts. However, the rendering issue is still appearing. Course details: Articulate Storyline version: Latest version Language: Hindi Issue observed in: Mozilla Firefox and Safari Issue type: Hindi matras not rendering correctly Fonts tested: Google Noto Sans Devanagari and other Hindi-supported fonts Could you please review this issue and suggest a possible solution or workaround?35Views0likes2Commentscriteria for rise vs. storyline?
Hi all, I'm curious if anyone has established criteria that they use to evaluate whether Rise or Storyline is the best tool to build their requested training. Beyond the obvious regarding development and functionality abilities (e.g., rapid development vs. more customizable), does anyone have content-specific criteria that informs what tool they use to build their courses? I work in a compliance department so we've traditionally used Storyline for more 'gated' hand-held overviews of foundational concepts and Rise for content that iterates on those foundations. thanks!391Views2likes5CommentsAutoplay Youtube videos in Storyline
Hello! I need help with auto playing my YouTube videos. Is it still true that it won't work in Chrome?
