"Accessible Text" by default : good idea or not ?
Hello, I was advised to enable the “accessible text” option by default, but after several tests, I don't understand the real interest for users ✅ On paper, it sounds great: you get plain text that can help meet certain accessibility criteria, and even allows for advanced customizations (AAA level) using tools like Stylus. 😬 But in practice: I need to leave extra space in every text block, otherwise I get scrollbars almost everywhere as soon as the option is enabled. Since the text uses point units (pt), no relative units like em or rem, I can’t resize it globally using Stylus (something like font-size: 200%). I have to target specific elements (e.g. main p span { font-size: 32px !important; }), which seems complicated in terms of real compatibility? (In practice, people use or will have to use the browser's zoom). And when I increase font size, line-height, margins, or word spacing using Stylus, the content overflows, triggering scrollbars everywhere and making the interface very hard to read — which makes sense, because Storyline isn't responsive. At best, I can change colors and fonts by targeting the right CSS classes So I’d rather not enable this option by default, and instead let users activate it themselves if they need it. SVG-based text works with screen readers and preserves layout, avoiding the risk of multiple scrollbars on the text blocks (and preventing a buggy interface upon opening, which can occur if "accessible text" is enabled and some users' text display preferences are taken into account ?). Maybe I’m missing something here — who exactly benefits from this feature, and for what kind of use cases? Thanks for any insights!How to use BLANK results slide for a training with no final test
I have a course with several good interactions and have no need for a final test. I'm looking for a way to show course completions in the LMS and discovered using a BLANK results slide. I haven't found much information about how that results slide works and how to set it up. It appears to operate very differently from other quiz-related result slides so trying to follow the usual options doesn't make sense. What do I need to be aware of? When publishing and from the tracking perspective, it appears to fall under the When the learner completes a quiz option and becomes a final assessment results slide. Is there anything that I need to do for this to show completions? It automatically included a slide trigger to submit the results slide when the timeline starts on this slide. So I'm assuming that submitting the results slide sets up the completion notice to the LMS - right? I understand that I can disguise this BLANK result slide as a standard content slide, which I've done. I deleted the correct and incorrect layers since there wasn't anything in them. Does that matter? And perhaps the question really is - is there a better way to show completions for a course with no final test?Vertical Storyline Scrolling
Hello! I have several guidelines created in Storyline. The slides are vertical (portrait) and require people to scroll down to get the information. Scrolling panels didn't work for these guidelines because of the other features included, so the slide size is 1100 width and 2000 height. This works perfectly, but if someone scrolls to the bottom of one slide and then clicks to go to another slide, they start at the bottom where they were on the previous slide. That makes no sense to me, so there has to be way around that. How can I ensure when a slide is clicked, users always start at the top of the slide?Exporting audio quality issues
A while ago I had some audio tracks that I recorded in storyline. I wanted to extract into mp3 and copy the files into a different .story project. However the audio quality of the extracted files was so poor as to be unusable. Is there away to increase the export quality of the .mp3?Does Storyline allow users to right-click hyperlinks to bring up the browser context menu?
When right-clicking hyperlinks in published Storyline slides, we don't get a context menu (which allows people to, among other things, choose to open the link in a new window, or save the link address). I've observed that this is possible in Rise 360 courses. I've tested this across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, with no luck. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help!Quiz Question Answers Formatting Issues
Okay, this has been annoying me for literally 11 YEARS. In fact, I just found a post I had made June 10, 2013, about this issue. Here's the problem. When creating a question slide, you absolutely can NOT touch the formatting of quiz question slide answers. If you do, it messes with how they display. One: the correct question has different formatting than the rest, it is next to the choice button, even tho the formatting (margin spacing) is the same for every answer. Two: Multiple choice/guess answers will move around when different states are used (hover, selected, etc) So, in essence, you can't touch the bounding box of the answers, even if your question slide looks horrible. The instant you do, all the formatting gets messed up. Any ideas, solutions, tips are greatly appreciated!!Designing Sleek Animated Callouts in Storyline
Callouts are a great way to highlight key points without cluttering your slides; but making them look sharp can be tricky.
