Make surveys and form "scoring" optional
Can Articulate allow Storyline survey essays and Rise surveys record the submission but not grade it? Currently the user entry into the survey text box can be surfaced on a LMS report, but the entry is marked as 'not correct' in terms of an answer. Can functionality be added to allow a score associated with a survey entry be optional? If anything I'd like an entry to be considered "correct" and no entry "not correct". I want to collect information from the Learner and not penalize them. Not everything needs a score associated with it.Enhancement Request: Add OCR-Powered Sensitive Information Detection and Masking to Storyline 360
Please consider adding OCR-powered text detection and masking to Storyline 360. When designers create software simulations from screenshots or screen recordings, the captured screens may contain names, identification numbers, dates, contact information, or other sensitive data. Designers currently must inspect and mask this information manually on every slide. An OCR feature could scan individual slides or an entire project, identify potentially sensitive text, and present each result for developer review. The developer could then mask the information with an opaque redaction, substitute synthetic data, or dismiss the result. Helpful options would include batch scanning, configurable detection types, custom identifier patterns, project-wide replacement, a pre-publish scan, and a report of reviewed and unresolved items. The feature should include human verification and clearly communicate that OCR detection does not guarantee that every sensitive item has been found. This would make simulation development faster, more consistent, and safer for organizations working with privacy-sensitive systems.Hide Placeholder Block
This morning as I was working on a course, I thought about how much I would love to hide a block for future use. That way, when I have the content, I can update the course without forgetting what I wanted to include. Basically a placeholder that is hidden, so I can publish the course without the end user seeing it. Right now, the course can live without the content, however, it would be an impactful iteration to be able to include a video. I currently have a video block with the stock video sitting there as a placeholder, waiting to be updated. If I could hide this block, as you would a presentation slide (think PPT), and publish the course with it hidden, I could then go back when I have the filmed content and easily update the course and republish it. I know it seems as though I could leave this as an editing note on my storyboard, or set a reminder, but it would help a lot in the development phase too as ideas are swirling around of how I would like to best present the information. I sometimes test different types of blocks to see how they work with the content I am including, and when I go to preview each different block with the same content is there. This would be a nice way to compare the flow of information without having to have two blocks with the same information. You could just view one at a time and choose the one you prefer, if you were able to hide one. Hopefully, this may be considered for future development!Transcript option, with completion trigger by opening transcript or watching video
We always need to offer transcript options, along with closed captions, on any video or audio we include on a module. Currently, I have to add a separate link/text option for a transcript when adding a video, which means if I want the continue box to only activate upon completion, I have to put the transcript above the video and advise they still have to play the video, even if they are reading the transcript instead. I would like to suggest that a transcript option is available when adding video and audio, where the block completes when a user either finishes the video/audio OR opens the transcript. On real content templates, it would also be great to have the transcript automatically included in the same way. If you would like further details or a tester should this be considered, please get in touch. Many thanks ChrisEnhancement Request: Expanded Labeled Graphic Customization & Native 3D/360° Media
Hi Articulate Team & Community, The Labeled Graphic block in Rise 360 is an incredible tool for visual learning, but expanding marker customization and media compatibility would make it vastly more versatile for technical walkthroughs, UI guides, and interactive training. It would be fantastic to see the following enhancements considered for Labeled Graphic block in Rise 360: Extended Numbering & Lettering Support: Expanding numbering and lettering support to at least 20 (or allowing custom numerical ranges) would prevent the need to split complex process maps across multiple blocks. Additionally, adding alphabetical options (A–Z) would give authors flexibility for non-sequential or alternative visual keys. Multi-Color Markers (Sets & Groups): The option to assign multiple colors—or set distinct color groupings—within a single graphic block. For example, grouping steps by category (e.g., green for Start/Pre-setup, red for Stop/Post-setup, or different colors for distinct workflow stages) would dramatically improve visual hierarchy. Custom Marker Sizing: Adding controls to adjust marker sizes would be a huge quality-of-life improvement, allowing authors to mark dense UI screenshots or fine detail areas without obscuring critical content behind large icons. Dedicated Process Icons & Custom Uploads: Including dedicated workflow icons (like Start, Finish, Begin, or End markers) or allowing custom SVG/PNG icon uploads—similar to Note blocks—would help courses stay strictly aligned with custom brand design systems. 3D & 360° Media: Not just the labeled graphic, but, in general, bringing 3D file support or interactive 360° image capabilities into Rise 360—similar to 360° image features in Storyline 360—would revolutionize product tours, spatial safety modules, and equipment training. While embedding a Storyline block is an option, having native 3D/360 options directly in Rise would be a game-changer for teams that build almost exclusively in Rise 360. These features would offer much greater control over visual instructional design in Rise 360. Hopefully, these feature ideas resonate with others or give the Articulate team some great inspiration for future Rise 360 updates to Labeled Graphics and 3D/360 media! Thanks, and have a beautiful day!AI Image, Media, Prompt Library/History
Hi, I am relatively new to the e-learning/Articulate world and I haven't used Articulate as much as many others in this community. However, one of the things that I think could be a valuable asset to the AI assistant would be a library of any previously generated images or prompts. This would be valuable in a few settings that I thought of. Maintaining a certain image style throughout the course. Revising of other AI generated images/audio that has been added and then deleted from the course to be able to pick up where I left off with the prompt. Referencing previously well developed prompts that I would like to use again. Having the library or a history of my prompts would be valuable to help the forward momentum of the project instead of constantly starting over in the AI prompt. I understand I can simply save the images or prompts to a local drive or cloud storage. However, often times I forget or don't think to save them in the moment. I believe having this built into Articulate would make the usage more intuitive and user friendly. Thank you! Amanda BuzzellEnhancement Request: Development Effort Tracking
Please add a built-in development effort tracking feature to Storyline 360 and Rise 360. The feature would track active development time, provide project-level reporting, allow categorization of effort (analysis, development, QA, revisions, etc.), and export data for reporting. This would help instructional designers improve project estimates, measure productivity, justify resource needs, track AI-assisted development gains, and answer common stakeholder questions about development effort without relying on third-party applications or spreadsheets.

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } I would like to be able to modify the width and height of hotspots in Labeled Graphic blocks. Sometimes the text is too long, which causes a scrollbar to appear. I would like to set a custom width, while having the height automatically adjust to fit the content. ThanksForward seeking - global setting
There should be a way to turn forward seeking off/on for ALL videos at once in a single course. Sometimes I leave forward seeking turned on for reviewers looking at a course, as you want to be able to review as you go, but then when it is time to finish a course, I have to go into each video one by one and turn off forward seeking. It would be much more efficient if it were possible to make this an overall course setting rather than one by one for each individual video.
