Layers Overlapping in Storyline360
On one of my courses, the base layer slide has 14 buttons, each which opens an associated layer. A few of those layers link to other layers with additional information. This has worked since the course was developed in 2023. When I reviewed it today, not so much. When I click each of the 14 buttons (without clicking links to sub-layers), it works fine. Each layer appears as it should. However, when I click a button on one of the sub-layers to direct it back to the base layer, the layers start stacking, as in the attached screen capture. This occurs on slides 1.1 and 1.2, buttons 2 (Trace to Risk Record) & 10 (Mitigated Probability of Occurrence). All layers have the "Hide other slide layers" box checked. Before I change my layout and make each layer its own slide, I'm hoping there's a quicker fix.Code Block Creator Tool
Hey everyone, I've created a Rise code block creator tool with a user friendly UI that means you don't need to learn code or battle with AI prompts to create your own code blocks. Its built into a Rise course for ease of access. I use these to create code blocks that I use frequently (flip cards, accordions, infographic cards etc). There are currently 14 tools to use. They are able to be customised far more than the standard Rise blocks. There's a user guide built in. https://share.articulate.com/790dwytkb7ufkqjPGbBDqMatching drag and drop activity
Hi, I am trying to create a drag and drop activity that mimics the functionality of the built in matching drag and drop activity, but is more flexible. I don't want the boxes on the right to be the same size as the boxes on the left as I want to match up definitions and extended answers. What I do like about the in built version is that if you drop an answer where there already one it moves the existing one into the empty slot, as in the second image. Whereas on my version I don't know how to do that, so when I drag one into my drop target it sits behind the existing one, as in the first image. I have attached the file - if anyone is able to take a look and see how I can do this I would be really grateful.Making a Storyline so users can click on it as a desktop icon and open from there?
I apologize if this has been posted before but I couldnt find conclusive results. My boss is requesting us to use storyline to create a "tool" format that they can click on from their desktop (like an icon) and it open from there rather than an LMS. I have only ever done Review, LMS, or a Weblink before so I was unsure if this is possible? Thank you so much for your review on this!Drag and Drop Interaction
Hello! I have built the attached Drag and Drop sorting interaction and I am still facing 2 issues. 1) The drag objects won't return to the start point after an incorrect response even though I have "Return item to start point if dropped outside a correct drop target" selected. I have noticed that other people have had this issue and I have not been able to find a resolution. 2) I would like the drag object to first change states to a "Drop correct" or "Drop incorrect" state and THEN change to a hidden state. Right now, the object just hides right away. Is there a workaround for this? Thank you!Behind 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?Embed Youtube Video - Error 153
Hello, Has something changed in Storyline?! I'm trying to embed a YouTube video using "iframe". I'm copying the embed code from YouTube, but it says 'Watch video on Youtube - Erro 153...'. I used: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dqaN76shzJE?si=F_NwSZruLu5BJAU6" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> Any/all help would be appreciated. Thanks
