Quiz Settings in Rise - Questions I have
Hi everyone! I'm building a course in Rise 360 and I’d like to set it up so that learners must score at least 85% on every quiz in the course in order to move forward, and ultimately complete the whole course. I set that they had to get an 85% to complete in the publish settings. And one of my testers failed it on purpose. I've looked into the quiz settings (see below), but I'm not sure how to enforce this across multiple quizzes within the same course. Has anyone done this before or found a workaround? Any tips, best practices, or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance🖖In Case You Missed It: September 2025 in ELH

I have 12 questions included in a Storyline 360 course that are either sequence drop down, multi choice or single answer that all act in the same way, no matter what changes I make for keyboard navigation in the focus order. I wanted to check if this is a known issue, bug, something I'm not doing correctly and if there are any options for me to resolve this and make it more accessible by keyboard navigation only. All the other accessibility components work ok and the course includes a voiceover throughout so the focus order of text paragraphs to enable a screen reader to pick them up is not needed. The focus order only includes the selectable answers, buttons, weblinks, and continue buttons on the answer layers for correct, incorrect and try again. Once any of the questions have been answered and the feedback layer pops up, the next keyboard tab goes to the resources, and it takes two more presses of the tab key to get to the continue button on any answer layer, no matter what order I put the two/three continue buttons in the focus order, or if I change the layer order. This isn't ideal for accessibility as I'd like the first tab to go straight to the continue button, rather than it taking three tabs to get there. I found another known bug with the menu states included in this forum, which require two tabs instead of one, even when removing the accessibility tick box so the visited or completed states don't show in the focus order. I'm wondering if this is a similar issue/bug. Does anyone know if this is an issue, bug or something I'm not doing correctly? Is there something else I can do to get the first tab to be on the continue button? Or would you suggest programming a different key to get past this issue, ideally without too much extra instructions for the user needing to be added in, for the workaround?Serious Lag and Memory Buildup in Long Storyline360 Course – Suspected Media Unloading Issue
Hi Everyone, I’ve been facing a persistent and performance-impacting issue in a complex Storyline 360 project and would appreciate guidance or confirmation from the community. Problem Summary I’ve created a long interactive course with multiple topics and rich media (images, audio, video) across slides and layers. As users progress through the course, the application begins to lag severely, especially after the midpoint. After extensive testing, I found a major memory buildup during runtime: Initial Memory Usage: ~55 MB Final Memory Usage (after all topics): ~4 GB (!) The course doesn’t use heavy JavaScript, tracking, or data storage that could account for such memory growth. What I’ve Tried Restarted my PC before testing. Closed all background applications. Monitored memory via Task Manager after each slide/topic. Used optimised MP3 audio and JPG images where possible. Avoided continuous background audio or video. Despite these measures, the lag remains, and worsens in the last quarter of the course, suggesting something is accumulating as the user progresses. Hypothesis My working theory is that Storyline is not unloading media (especially images/audio) from previous slides. This leads to: Memory bloat from unused assets. Laggy transitions and interaction delays in later slides. I also noticed this issue gets worse if: I use many layers on a slide. There are large audio clips or embedded videos. I attempt to preload media early using triggers (which I’ve stopped doing). Project Structure Single .story file combining multiple topics. 30+ content-heavy slides with images, layered interactions, and voiceovers. What I Need Help With Is this a known limitation in Storyline? Does Storyline 360 retain media in memory from all visited slides? Any way to force memory to clear between slides or scenes? Any suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. Mahesh MahajanDrag and drop "over" not working consistantly
Hi, I have been trying to get my drag-and-drop features to work consistently. I have a few drag and drops (freeform), and they have a Submit button that I have created. I want the submit button to either be hidden or disabled until the user has dragged over all the drag on the drops. I set the state of the button to either disable or hidden to start. Here's the Trigger: Set state of "Submit BTN" to Normal, when the state of all the rectangles is "Drag Over". The drag over isn't working consistently. I have attached a video. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, It needs to be that the user can mover the drag anyway, but the "Drag overs" are the problem.Help with making compliance/legislative obligation heavy training interesting.
I am currently working on a number of courses that are compliance and legislative obligation text heavy content, with a lot of 'we must say this' information. Any tips on how to make this attractive and interesting without changing the content as the SME is very strict that the text must be said. I have thought that maybe the text heavy sections could have an audio feature? I also only have access to Rise at the moment and can make other video/motion/gif things in PowerPoint and Canva.Issues with importing audio file
I have been having issues importing audio files into my project. Once I select the audio file to be imported the in progress appears for a second then vanished and that all. This is specific to audio files alone video and images works fine. PS I am using a mac with parallel windows.Generating a Passed result in CMI5 Storyline packages
I have recently made a switch to publishing with CMI5 for the deeper analytics that it provides. The one area I have become unstuck is the generating a passed result to send back to the LMS. Within Storyline, unlike SCORM there is no option to modify the status. I carried out some research and discovered the 'MoveOn=' command in the CMI5.xml file can be modified to =Passed instead of the default =Completed, producing the needed output. I use quite a few Storyline built assessments, desiring question level data that CMI5 provides, but this will mean that after every publish (and in 19 language versions!) we will need to edit each every xml. Can you confirm that this is the only way this can be produced, or am I missing something in the tool?Storyline + OneDrive: How to Stop Temp File Sync Issues?
I frequently run into issues where OneDrive automatically backs up all temporary files created by Storyline. When Storyline closes, these files are deleted, which results in unnecessary sync activity and bandwidth usage without any real benefit. To improve workflow and system performance, I’d like to suggest the following enhancements: Set a default folder for “Save As” It would be helpful to have the ability to define a default folder that opens when using “Save As” in Storyline. For example: C:\Temp\ArticulateProjects\ This would allow users to work in a local folder outside of OneDrive (which is often required by IT policies). Set a custom folder for temporary files Storyline should allow users to specify where temporary files are stored. For example: C:\Temp\ArticulateTemp\ This would prevent OneDrive from syncing and deleting these files, improving stability and reducing unnecessary network traffic. Separate folder for Storyline templates It would be ideal if templates could be stored in a dedicated folder, such as within OneDrive: C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\ArticulateTemplates\ This ensures templates are backed up and easily recoverable in case of a system crash. It also supports better reuse of custom features across projects. These features would significantly improve the user experience, especially in environments where OneDrive sync is enforced. I’m curious if others have encountered similar issues or found effective workarounds?Exit course button not displaying on black background
Hi there, I've noticed a change in how Articulate Rise publishes courses over the last little while. Previously, when I published a Rise course, the "Exit course" link/button in the top right would display on dark backgrounds with a white shade behind it to ensure it was always visible. This no longer seems to occur. See the attached screenshots. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
