Rise exceptionally slow - attempting to connect to https://browser-intake-datadoghq.com/
Rise has been exceptionally slow to the point of crashing Chrome out. I'm getting hundreds of connection attempts to https://browser-intake-datadoghq.com/ which is blocked in DNS upstream of my control, outside of my organisation. Rise clearly has no concept that its requests are failing, and is doubling down on retries, up until the browser tab stops responding. What's going on? What is this?Characters image & Custom blocks
Hi ! I've been using the custom blocks in my courses, and I really like it. Interactivity would be a huge plus, but from what I gather, it will become available in the future. One thing that I don't understand is why the character bank from Storyline and the "Scenario" block is not available for custom blocks. I love using the "Scenario" block as a mini powerpoint with a character who is explaining points from the course as if they were the teacher. But the thing is that the "Scenario" block has quite a lot of bugs (You have to quit and return to the block to see the updates), and you have a limited amount of words per slide wich can be quite tricky sometimes. It would be great to be able to insert characters from the character bank so that we could make long texts of explaination while keeping the character as an e-teacher. I don't know if it's planned but it's a feature that I'd like to see for the custom blocks ! Thank you !BuddyBar 2.0 – now with unlimited colors, drag-to-reorder, and template sharing!

Learner navigation is stopped, next button doesn't work until resetting course
I'm working on a course of 10 modules for a client, and due to some very strict restrictions from them, I created the triggers shown in the image on the default Storyline Next buttons. I export the modules as SCORM files to place in their Canvas LMS. The Storyline files are split up into scenes, each of which I upload as an individual SCORM file. We have found that, in each of the modules, at random times, with 0 ability to replicate or expect, and generally at least once every 100 or so slides, the next button does not move the user to the next slide. It can be clicked, but it won't advance the slide. Here are some facts to help illustrate the situation further: 1. I have a Jump to Next Slide trigger on every question slide with two conditions to meet before the next button works: Get the question correct OR attempt it 2 times. Each question has 2 possible attempts allowed. There are around 110 slides on each module, and 80% of the slides are question slides. 2. I have set the navigation to restricted, but with the "restrict next/back buttons" toggle turned off. 3. This issue only occurs on slides with the triggers shown in point 1. 4. I am yet to have this issue occur on the same slide in my testing. But it has happened on a wide number of question slides, no matter the variety. 5. It happens in preview mode, review 360, and in the Canvas SCORM player. More often than not, the issue occurs while the module is in Canvas, but I have had it happen outside that environment. 6. The client asked that, even if they get the question wrong, that they continue through the learning. 7. Once they learner encounters this bug, they have to restart progress in the course to get through. Refreshing the page doesn't solve the issue. I've attached the entire .story file that is a common culprit, and I've also linked to the first scene of it in SCORM cloud for testing. I can attach a .zipped SCORM version of the first scene as well, in case anyone is interested in testing stuff. Here is step 1 and step 2 in Review 360. I can't guarantee you will find the bug in your testing, but if it does happen, yippee! While I would be happy to learn of why this issue is happening, and how to solve it, I would also be happy to hear of any alternatives to entirely dodge the problem. It would be very difficult to convince the client to accept custom buttons for navigation, so that's a limitation unless it is my only way out of this. Thank you all for the help!xAPI File Size Compression
Hello. Are there any tips for compressing file sizes once they are exported from Rise 360? I have a few courses that are up to 1.7GB once exported from Rise and taking up a significant amount of storage space on our devices and LMS. Is there a way to compress an xAPI file prior to uploading to it an LMS? Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thank you!I made a Google Chrome plugin for Articulate Rise color swatches!
While I was at Articuland, sitting in all the amazing sessions, I noticed a theme come up again and again: style guides. (Shoutout AlyssaGomez !) Presenters were showing how they use them for everything, but what really stuck with me was how often swatches were being used to grab hex code colors from PowerPoint or a specially crafted Rise lesson. Even though it worked, it still felt a little clunky and slow to me. So in between sessions I started building what would become BuddyBar. It’s a Chrome extension that adds a neat little bar at the top of your Articulate Rise courses. With one click you can copy your primary, secondary, and accent colors. You can also save templates to reuse across courses. I posted about it on my Linkedin and Reddit and people seemed interested in it so I submitted it to the Chrome store! It’s the first app/extension I’ve vibe coded that might actually be useful for more people than just me. Check out the video I made below showing what it can do!
Scenario Block
Hi all, Hi Articulate Team, I use the Scenario Block in Rise360 frequently and often include several in a single course. I’ve noticed others have also requested a wider selection of characters, and I’d like to echo that. It would be great to see more diversity, for example, Canadian Indigenous, Métis characters and more of each culture in general, as well as more professional-looking options and additional clothing choices. I often end up reusing the same characters throughout a course. I also find it challenging to select suitable background images. For instance, when I need a person on the phone, it’s hard to find an image where the person is positioned to the right so that text doesn’t overlap them. It would be very helpful if the “character” and text windows in the Scenario Block could be repositioned or moved freely within the image. One more thing :) I’m developing a course for a client who will be using their own LMS. Is there a way for us to view learner activity results or reports for that course so we can confirm completion and invoice accordingly? At the moment, the only solution we’ve found is to rely on the client’s Privacy Officer to notify us and include that obligation in our contract, which isn’t ideal. Thank you for considering this feedback! MicheleExtracting text from scorm packages
Hello, I've built a script that extracts the text from a course by loading up und.js or en.js files found in the locales folder (locales folder can be found in scormcontent folder). What I've seen is, not all scorm packages have a "locales" folder inside "scormcontent" folder. I'm curious if this is a bug or if it has something to do with the Language Localization. What influences the absence of "locales" folder from "scormcontent" folder ? Thanks :)Acronym in a different language in the same voiceover
Hi everybody, I'm trying to solve this problem. I have a lesson that is in Dutch but I would like the acronyms in the voiceover to always be pronounced in English. I tried using the syntax <say-as interpret-as="characters">IID</say-as> but I always get different results and rarely the correct ones. Any suggestions? Thank youFeature Request- Multiple Numeric Questions on the same slide
Hello! I wanted to submit a feature request-- allowing for multiple numeric questions on the same slide. For example, having 2 numeric boxes on the same slide. The answer to part A would be any number between 2 & 3, and the answer to part B would be any number between 7 & 8. I know that there are manual ways to get around this, but creating multiple fields with answers 'between these numbers' is very time consuming, manual work. Allowing for multiple numeric fields on the same slide would quickly eliminate a lot of work! Please reach out with any questions-- thank you!
