Hi everyone, I know Storyline can handle branching, variables, triggers, and custom logic, and I know AI Assistant can help with content creation. But I’d like to hear from people who have actually gone beyond basic branching. Has anyone built and maintained, entirely inside Storyline, a truly solid adaptive experience with meaningful learner paths, multiple variables, and instructional logic that stayed manageable over time? I’m especially curious about three things: • How far you were able to push it inside Storyline • Whether AI Assistant helped with anything beyond assets or text • When the project became too complex or fragile to maintain I’d really appreciate real examples or honest limits. Thank you in advance. I look forward to your comments. Slim33Views1like2CommentsI Love Custom Blocks & Code!
I've been using Articulate Rise for a while now, and the improvements over the last year have been impressive. The ability to add code and the new custom blocks (with or without using the templates) are game changers. They go a long way to addressing the frustrations I've had with the product. I am a semi-retired instructional designer who has been in the field for more than 20 years. I'm also pursuing my M.Ed. in instructional design (yes, I am by far the oldest in my cohort). It keeps me busy! I've been using Rise for school projects, as well as in my contract work for various stakeholders. The content I'm producing is sleek, professional and always well received. Thank you!27Views0likes1CommentStoryline 360 Question Bank Shuffle
How are your Question Bank skills? I have a question bank consisting of 29 questions. The quiz I am using consists of 17 total question slides including the introduction slide. 9 of the questions must always be included and are identified in the shuffle column with Always (always include). 8 are randomly selected from the remaining 20 question slides each time the quiz is taken. Here is my question/conundrum, The 9 questions that are required to be included each time the quiz is taken, do not shuffle. They appear in the same order each time the quiz is run even though they are included in the Shuffle column. Is there a way to make those required slides shuffle?20Views0likes1CommentPrevent Forward Seeking but Allow Backward Navigation in Video (Storyline .story Template Request)
Hi everyone, I’m working with Articulate Storyline to build video-based e-learning modules (SCORM for LMS/Moodle), and I’m trying to implement a very specific navigation behavior. Goal: The learner cannot skip forward in the video timeline (video in unique in slide) The learner can go backward (rewind) at any time Ideally, the restriction works progressively (i.e., they can only move within the portion already viewed) I know there are workarounds using: cue points variables (e.g., tracking max progress) triggers to block forward seeking However, I’m looking for a ready-to-use .story template (or a solid implementation example) that achieves this reliably, especially in SCORM environments. If anyone has already built something like this and is willing to share a .story file or outline the trigger logic, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!New in Storyline 360: Round score percentage option
Most of the hype around Storyline releases lately has centered on AI features. While AI is an area we're focused on, we understand that there are other ways to add value. Sometimes we ship something far less flashy that solves a very real, very common pain point in a simple way. We just added a "Round quiz score percentage" option in Quiz Settings. Check this new option, and the score percentage automatically rounds to a whole number. No more 84.7% when you really want 85%. If you’ve been around Storyline for a while, you know this has been a long-standing request. I’ve always appreciated how the community shares JavaScript trigger workarounds to fill the gap. That creativity is part of what makes Storyline special. At the same time, you should not have to break out JavaScript just to round a number. The attached gif shows exactly where to find the new option in the Quiz Settings dialog. When you’ve had a chance to try it, I’d love to hear: - Does this cover your quiz score rounding needs? - Are there other “small but annoying” workarounds we could eliminate? The little things matter. Keep them coming.116Views3likes2CommentsFormatting Tables in Storyline
Anyone else have difficulties formatting tables in Storyline these days? I have 3 slides, each with one table apiece and it has taken me 2+ hours to ID these slides because formatting has to be done cell by cell. If I highlight a column and bold, maybe all cells will change to bold. Maybe they won't. Maybe half of them will, maybe one of them will. Same with font size or any formatting. It's inconsistent and I can't seem to find what makes multi-cell formatting work better some days and not others. I am wondering if there is something I am missing in how I format these tables to help me speed up? I am attaching an example where you can see I have 4 cells selected and only 2 of them took the bold formatting, leaving the other 2 cells untouched.Sequence drag and drop colours
Hello, I'm working in a storyline document a previous colleague built. I'm trying to edit the design of the sequence drag and drop. There are limited things you can do to the design right? When i select an item to drag it turns light purple. How do you change the colours of a selected item? There is no state on this layer, it doesn't even open up to select individually. Interested to know if someone can help with this. Thank you!90Views0likes6CommentsThe "Set Focus" Trigger and Lightboxes
Good day to our experts! And thank you in advance for your help. This may be a JAWS issue, but I don't know. Currently, I have the triggers set up per the following, but JAWS is not focusing on BUTTON 2 once the lightbox closes. Is this the correct setup? Is there a better, smarter way to make this work with JAWS. When the user clicks BUTTON 1 - Set focus on BUTTON 2 - Lightbox 1.0 Thank you!Morph Accordion Help?
Hi All, Hoping someone can help. I am trying to create an accordion style menu for a learning module using the morph transition. I have tried multiple times but I cannot get it to work. Once I create my base slide, I have duplicated it, moved the assets to the places where I want them to be, but once I preview, the assets don't slide smoothly across the screen, they fade out at the same time as sliding, and then reappear in the final location. Its driving me crazy! I do not have any animations on any of the slides, I have not added anything new to any of the slides, they are all exact duplicates of the original, only the location of assets on the page has changed. I have attached the .story file, hoping someone can tell me where I am going wrong. Thanks John
