Small gap between slide content and player
This is something I've noticed in Storyline for a few years now. 9 times out of 10, there is usually a small 1px gap between the edge of my slide content and the player, making it impossible to create seamless content. The small gap also shows some content, but not others. The location of the small gap also seems to be random across the 4 sides. For example, below is a screenshot from one of my latest courses (in both Chrome and Edge). You can see the small gap between all edges of the slide and the player, with the edges more prominent in Chrome. The gap does appear slightly in the Storyline Preview, but is much worse in published content (either to SCORM or Review 360). The slides are 1080x1920. For reference, the below screenshots were all taken on a 4k monitor at 100% page zoom. It appears to be a responsive scaling issue, as the gaps change affect edges depending on the window size, the browsers zoom, etc. To try and mitigate this issue, I extended the edges of the blue rectangle shapes outside of the slide bounds, but those objects get culled so you can see the gap, but some objects that are beneath those objects are still visible. Has anyone else come across this issue (my entire team have), and if so, have you tried anything that has fixed the issue? Making edits to the SCORM package JS or CSS sheets isn't a viable workaround, as it needs to be corrected in the Review 360 versions (for client reviews). Additionally, can anyone at Articulate touch on whether this is a known bug and/or if its on a patch roadmap? Please note: I can't upload the Storyline file due to privacy, however, I can confirm this has happened in almost all of the Storyline modules we produce across multiple versions, browsers, and operating systems. Above: Storyline Preview. Very small gap between the left and right edge of the blue banner at the bottom. Above: Review 360 - Chrome. Very visible gaps along all edges of the slide, where you can also see objects that go outside the edges of the slide. Above: Review 360 - Edge. Barely visible gaps along the blue edges of the slide. Above - Left: Zoomed in screenshot of the bottom of a slide with custom navigation arrows, where you can see the button between the bottom of the blue rectangle and the player. Above - Right: Zoomed in screenshot of the Master slide showing the blue rectangle is extended past the slide bounds completely covering the bottom of the button so its not visible. The blue bar has been moved on the right edge to show where the edge of the slide is, purely for the purpose of the screenshot. Note: Interestingly, when I tried to screenshot the button being visible in the gap, if the browser window lost focus, the button would disappear from the gap.Localization Validation Tools for English Course/Project
Clearly the Localization Validation tools are great for other languages, but why don't they exist for the published English version? These tools and their capabilities for simplifying the review process would be great for any course, no matter the published language. How about some support to get those validation tools implemented as standard to Review 360?Missing Feedback Comments from Reviewer
Hi All, I know there are several threads on this topic now, but this issue is still happening. I've just had a reviewer leave 10-12 comments on a new project, and none of the comments posted or triggered an email to me (my settings are such I get an email for each one). This appears to happen if they access the link that I generate to share via my own email. If they access via the Articulate generated link (on this occasion) the comments do seem to work. Please can this glitch be fixed. It has been happening for a long time now, and I need the functionality of sharing the link as I often have to send multiple prompt emails to get my stakeholders to review the projects. Thanks, KateCentralized Alt Text Manager with AI Suggestions for Rise 360
Description: I'd love to see a centralized Alt Text Manager within Rise 360 where authors can view and edit the alt text for every image in a lesson or course from a single location. Instead of opening each individual image block, the Alt Text Manager would provide an accessibility dashboard that streamlines authoring, SME review, and quality assurance. Suggested functionality: Display every image in the lesson or course with a thumbnail preview. Show the current alt text or clearly indicate when alt text is missing. Allow authors to edit alt text directly from the dashboard. Identify decorative images separately from informative images. Include filters (e.g., Missing Alt Text, Decorative Images, AI Suggestions). Optionally provide AI-generated alt text suggestions that authors can review, edit, and accept. Why this would help: As instructional designers, we frequently collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to review course content. SMEs are often the best people to describe the educational purpose of an image, but the current workflow requires them to open each image individually to review or edit its alt text. A centralized Alt Text Manager would allow SMEs and instructional designers to: Review all image descriptions in one place. Quickly identify images that still need alt text. Ensure descriptions accurately reflect the instructional intent of the image. Perform accessibility reviews much more efficiently during QA. AI-generated suggestions could further reduce authoring time by providing a strong starting point, while still allowing human review and editing to ensure descriptions are accurate and instructionally meaningful. For courses with dozens or even hundreds of images, this feature would save significant time, improve collaboration between instructional designers and SMEs, and help authors produce more accessible courses with greater consistency."Proofing Mode" toggle to bypass forced navigation for SME review
Hello! I'd like to put in a feature request for a "Proofing Mode" toggle in Rise 360 that allows SMEs who are reviewing/proofing courses to bypass any restricted navigation, especially those restricted using the Continue block completion settings. Courses built with restricted/forced navigation are great for learners but painful for SME reviewers, who have to click through sequentially even when they just need to jump to a specific lesson to verify content. This restriction happens at two levels: the Continue block's Completion Type (Complete Block Directly Above / Complete All Blocks Above), which gates progression within a lesson, and the course-level navigation setting, which gates movement between lessons. Requesting a single-click "Proofing Mode" (available in Preview or via a review link) that overrides Continue block completion requirements for reviewers only. I believe course-level restricted navigation should follow suit automatically; if a reviewer can bypass block completion, they should also be able to move freely between lessons. If implemented, this would save real time for L&D teams as SMEs review content before launch. Thank you!"Proofing Mode" toggle to bypass forced navigation for SME review

HELP! I created a file and localized it with English/Spanish. I published for review. It went great. Now I need to make a similar file, so I started with my existing file and made a copy of it. Made a whole bunch of changes, updated translations, etc. But when I go to publish to review 360, it wants to publish to the original review. But this is a NEW file. How do I fix this? Do I have to start over every time with a non-localized file and redo all the formatting (getting rid of scroll bars, etc) again? I should always be able to publish as a NEW review when I want to. Please advise.
