Storyline 360: Choosing Player Features
Storyline 360 lets you choose which features and controls are included on your course player. You can add navigation buttons, a seekbar, a menu, and much more. To customize your player, go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Player. When the player properties appear, the Features button will already be selected on the ribbon. Just choose the options you want, as described below. When you make changes on the left side of the window, the preview area on the right will update to reflect your choices. Why are the features grayed-out? When the Menus & Controls option on the ribbon is turned off, most player features are automatically disabled and grayed-out. Only the course cover photo remains active when menus and controls are turned off. Turning off all player features gives your course a chromeless look, meaning your course won’t have a player at all. Learn more. To enable all features, switch the Menus & Controls option to On. Jump to the following sections in this user guide to learn more about customizing your player features. Choosing Player Tabs Adding Custom Tabs Editing Custom Tabs Removing Player Tabs Rearranging Player Tabs Displaying Different Tabs for Different Slides Turning Off the Sidebar Choosing Features Choosing Player Controls Showing or Hiding Navigation Buttons Turning Off All Player Features for a Chromeless Design Saving Player Changes Choosing Player Tabs Use player tabs to display additional content in your course. Player tabs can be added to the sidebar or the topbar of your course player. Just mark the box for each tab you want to include. Menu Mark this box to add a menu or table of contents to your course. Learn how to customize the menu. Glossary Mark this box to add a glossary to your course player. Learn how to add terms and definitions to the glossary. Notes Mark this box to show your slide notes in the player. Learn how to add notes. Resources Mark this box to give learners supplemental resources. You can add file attachments, links to websites, or both. Learn how to add resources. Adding Custom Tabs In addition to the four built-in player tabs described above, you can also add your own player tabs. Custom tabs can display additional slide content or trigger actions (e.g., exit course). Here's how to add a custom player tab: Click the Add button (it looks like a blank piece of paper) below the list of player tabs. When the trigger wizard appears, fill out the following fields: Name: Enter a name for the tab as you want it to appear in on your player. Alignment: If you’re using the classic player style, use this drop-down list to choose where to display the tab. Choose Topbar Left or Topbar Right. If you’re using the modern player style, you won’t see an alignment field. Topbar tabs always appear on the side of the player opposite the sidebar. Action: Use this drop-down list (and the contextual fields that follow) to define what should happen when learners click your custom tab. For example, if you want to display content in a lightbox, select Lightbox slide, then choose the slide you want to lightbox. Learn more about triggers. When you're finished, click OK. Editing Custom Tabs To edit a custom player tab, just select it and click the Edit button (it looks like a pencil). When the trigger wizard appears, you can change the tab's name, location, and action. See above for details. Built-in player tabs can't be edited, but you can change their names. Learn more about customizing text labels. Removing Player Tabs To turn off a player tab, simply uncheck its box. To permanently delete a custom player tab, select it and click the Delete icon. (Built-in player tabs can't be deleted. They can only be hidden.) Rearranging Player Tabs You can position player tabs in the sidebar or on the topbar. And multiple tabs can be located in each area of the player. For example, you might add the menu and notes to the sidebar, while the glossary and resources are on the topbar. To move a tab from one location to another, select the tab name, then use the Up and Down buttons to move it to a different location on the player. The built-in player tabs can be added to the sidebar or topbar. Custom player tabs can only be added to the topbar. The location of topbar tabs is different in the modern and classic players, as described in this table. Modern Player Classic Player Topbar tabs are always on the side of the player opposite the sidebar. If your sidebar is on the left, your topbar tabs are on the right. And if your sidebar is on the right, your topbar tabs move to the left. And on small screens where there isn’t enough room to display topbar tabs, they’ll collapse into a drop-down menu represented by three dots. Click the dots to see your topbar tabs. You can have topbar tabs on both the right and left sides of the player. On tablets and smartphones, topbar tabs automatically collapse into the responsive mobile player. Click the menu icon (☰) to see your topbar tabs. Displaying Different Tabs for Different Slides By default, player tabs display for all slides in your course, but you can hide built-in player tabs on a slide-by-slide basis. Turning Off the Sidebar You can turn off the sidebar for your entire course or individual slides. You just need to disable the sidebar tabs. And if you're using the classic player style, you also need to turn off the logo. Here are the details. Modern Player Classic Player To turn off the sidebar for an entire course, disable all sidebar tabs or move them to the topbar. If your course has a logo, it won't show when all the sidebar tabs are disabled. To turn off the sidebar for an entire course, disable all sidebar tabs or move them to the topbar, and also turn off the logo. To turn off the sidebar for individual slides, enable the sidebar tabs that you want in the player properties, then disable the sidebar tabs in the slide properties for each slide where you want the sidebar to disappear. If your course has a logo, it’ll disappear on slides where the sidebar is turned off. To turn off the sidebar for individual slides, enable the sidebar tabs that you want in the player properties, then disable the sidebar tabs in the slide properties for each slide where you want the sidebar to disappear. If your course has a logo, it’ll still be visible when the sidebar tabs are disabled. If you want the sidebar to disappear completely, turn off the logo in the player properties. Choosing Features Below the player tabs, you can add a course title, logo, and cover photo. And you can choose where to display the sidebar. Title Mark this box if you want the course title to appear in the top left corner of your player. If you’d prefer not to display a title, uncheck this box. The title defaults to the name of your project file, but you can change it. Just edit the text in the corresponding field. (Changing the title won’t change the name of your project file; it'll only change the title that displays in your published course.) The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters. Sidebar A sidebar will appear in your published course if you include any player tabs in the sidebar or add a logo. If you don’t want a sidebar in your player, turn off all sidebar tabs and the logo. By default, the sidebar appears on the left side of your player, but you can move it to the right side of your player. Choose a location from the Sidebar drop-down. If you’re using the modern player style, you can collapse the sidebar by default, allowing learners to expand it when they need it. Mark the Sidebar starts collapsed box. (This option isn’t available for the classic player style.) Logo To add a logo to the top of the sidebar, mark the Logo box, then use the Click to add a logo link to browse for an image. You can also add alt text to your logo in the modern player so it's accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies. If the visibility box is checked but there isn’t any alt text, screen readers will read the file name of the logo. If you’d prefer to hide the logo from screen readers altogether, uncheck the visibility box. For the modern player, the maximum height of the logo is 170 pixels. The width varies since the sidebar changes size to fit the learner's browser. Storyline will scale your image to fit the available space. (When you use the modern player, your logo won’t display on smartphones. Nor will the logo show when you disable all the sidebar tabs.) For the classic player, the maximum width of the logo is 200 pixels, and the maximum height is 220 pixels. If your image is bigger than these dimensions, Storyline will scale it to fit. (When you use the classic player, your logo won’t display on tablets and smartphones.) Cover Photo Sometimes it’s helpful to add an image to your course start page—for example, when learners use mobile devices or the first slide has media. You can add a course cover photo in the modern player. Mark the Cover Photo box, then click the + Photo link to browse for an image. Choose the first slide, a media library asset, a Content Library 360 photo, or an image from your computer. Want to see how the image looks? Click the file name link to refresh the preview area on the right. If you prefer the image to fill the player frame, mark the Fill player frame box. Choosing Player Controls In the Controls area of the player properties window, mark the boxes for the controls you'd like to add to your player. Volume This displays a volume controller in the lower left corner of your player when learners view your course on desktop computers. The volume controller won't display on tablets and smartphones since they have their own volume buttons. Search This adds a search field to the bottom of the Menu tab. Learners can use it to search for text in your course. Since the search field is part of the Menu tab, it'll only appear in your published course if you've enabled the Menu tab. Captions This enables the closed captioning button at the bottom of the player. When the closed captioning button is enabled, it'll display when there are captions available on the current slide or layer. If no captions are available, the button will disappear. This is a visual indicator for learners so they know which slides have captions and which don't. When the closed captioning button is visible, meaning there are captions available on the current slide or layer, learners only need to click it to turn the captions on or off. Seekbar This adds an interactive seekbar to the bottom of your player. It's a good visual indicator of each slide's timeline. Use the corresponding radio button to choose how the seekbar behaves: Allow user to drag seekbar: This lets learners drag the seekbar to review content they've already seen or skip ahead. Seekbar is read-only: This locks the seekbar so learners can't rewind or skip ahead. Allow drag after completion: This locks the seekbar the first time learners view a slide. After that, they can drag the seekbar back and forth. We call this the conditional seekbar. Learn more. Pro Tip: By default, the seekbar is enabled or disabled for the entire course, but you can show or hide it on a slide-by-slide basis if you prefer. Play/Pause This option is only available for the modern player style. It adds a play/pause button to the bottom of your player. The classic player style also has a play/pause button, but it’s combined with the seekbar as a single unit. When you enable the seekbar (above), the play/pause button is also enabled. When you disable the seekbar, the play/pause button is also disabled. Playback speed Let learners explore content at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed that's comfortable for them—between 0.25x and 2x. The course playback speed control is exclusive to the modern player style in Storyline 360. Accessibility controls Empower learners to personalize their learning experience according to their needs and preferences. When you enable the accessibility settings menu, a gear icon appears on the player, allowing learners to change the zoom mode, turn accessible text on or off, toggle keyboard shortcuts, and turn background audio on or off. The accessibility controls are enabled by default for new projects. They're disabled by default for existing projects and saved custom players. Learn more about these adjustable accessibility settings. Full-screen Add a player toggle to let learners view courses in full-screen mode. Full-screen toggle is currently exclusive to the modern player in Storyline 360. You can open, edit, and publish project files that use this feature in Storyline 3 and earlier versions of Storyline 360. In Storyline 3, the player returns to the classic style without a full-screen button; the modern player won't have a full-screen button in earlier versions of Storyline 360. Showing or Hiding Navigation Buttons Navigation buttons are automatically added to all slides. By default, content slides have previous and next buttons, and question slides have submit buttons. However, you can show or hide navigation buttons on a slide-by-slide basis. Turning Off All Player Features for a Chromeless Design You can turn off all player features for a chromeless look. Saving Player Changes When you click OK to close the Player Properties window, Storyline saves your player customizations in your project file. If you'd like to use the same customizations in other projects, click Current Player on the ribbon and choose Save. If prompted, enter a name for your custom player and click OK. Learn more about the Current Player options.

Articulate Localization isn't available yet for public purchase. Contact us if you'd like to learn more about this product. With Articulate Localization, you can translate course and microlearning content into 70+ languages and manage all the language versions as a single project, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Watch the video to learn how to translate and share the translations with validators. Then read on for more details on managing multi-language courses. Translate a Course Early-Access Course Stacks Translate Text Updates Manage Languages Tips Add Collaborators Localize Video and Audio Assets Understand Question Banks Include Right-to-Left Languages Translate a Course Before translating your course, run through this checklist to avoid common issues. Prepare your course for AI translation with the following best practices: Avoid using all caps to emphasize certain words. AI translation often interprets this as an acronym and won’t translate it. Avoid splitting a sentence into multiple text boxes, as this removes necessary context for effective translation. Avoid using emojis. Their meanings can vary across cultures, and machine translation tools may not interpret them accurately. Use proper grammar. Simplify formatting. Complex formatting can create challenges for all forms of AI translation. Here are some best practices: Don’t format spaces. Let Rise 360 handle text wrapping. Using shift+enter to manually insert line breaks will impact other languages, where it won’t always be appropriate. Scan through your content one more time for terms that might need to be added to the AI translation glossary. The glossary specifies how terms are translated—or not translated. For example, you might have a specific term for “service” in a particular language. Or you may want to make sure your brand name does not get translated. Once you’ve double-checked your course, follow these steps to get started with Localization: In your dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course you want to localize, click the more (...) icon, and select Translate. A translation dialog will appear. You can confirm the source language, select one or more target languages, and adjust the formality if the languages support that option. Click Translate. Rise 360 will create a multi-language course with all the language versions presented as a single course “stack”. The course stack tile on the dashboard indicates how many languages are in the stack, as shown below. Multi-language courses share the same theme and structure. If you add, move, or delete a block, lesson, or section in one language, those changes will apply to all other languages in the course. Other factors to note: Clicking the tile opens an overview page that lists all the current languages in a sidebar and allows you to preview each language. Click EDIT COURSE to make changes to any language version. The language dropdown on the top left lets you switch between languages while authoring, as shown below. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when choosing a language from the dropdown: Stay in the source language if you want to make changes in all languages, such as updating course content, adding new blocks, lessons, or sections, and changing themes. Switch to a target language if you want to make language-specific changes, such as replacing media assets, editing existing text, and changing course labels. Custom label sets are not translated, but translated courses will automatically have default label sets for each target language. If you prefer to use custom label sets, you can assign them to individual courses after translation. Audio and video assets will be the same across all languages after translation. Any changes you make to the media—such as alt text or image alignment—in the source language will be applied to all target languages. You can have language-specific media by modifying the media asset in the target language. Remember that editing a target language disconnects the asset from the source language, so any changes done to the source won’t be applied moving forward. Early-Access Course Stacks Multi-language courses created during our early-access program will have an [Early Access] tag on the course tile and course stack. This older version has the following differences: When you add languages to a Rise course, each translated language becomes a separate copy of the original course, so changes you make to one language version will not affect other languages. To edit an individual language, switch to it in the sidebar and click the Edit button in the top navigation bar. Any changes you make affect only the language you are currently editing. There’s no option to translate updates to the source language and publish a single-package, multi-language output. Learn more about the early-access version of multi-language Rise 360 courses. Refer to this user guide when working on this version. Translate Text Updates Rise 360 detects text changes made to your source language after the last translation run. It allows you to translate these changes without affecting other portions of the course. If the unchanged portions have imported validation suggestions, these will be preserved. Here's how it works. Update existing text or add blocks to your source language. A blue notification dot appears on the language dropdown on the top left. Click the language dropdown and select Back to Stack. From the course stack, click Update Translation to translate only the text updates you made for all existing target languages. When the translation run completes, the Update Translation option disappears. Additional information: If your project has already been validated, follow the tips in this article to request validation for only the updated content. Importing validation suggestions or updating text in the target languages will not enable the Update Translation option. Adding blocks, lessons, or sections to any target language will also apply to other languages, but they won't get translated. If you accidentally added them to the target language, simply delete them and recreate them in the source language. Translating updates within the same billing period does not affect your total purchased translation. Manage Languages You can add or remove languages from a multi-language project at any time. You can also save a copy of a language as a separate course. Add or Replace a Language To add or replace (retranslate) a language, re-run the translation tool by selecting Translate from the stack tile option in the dashboard or clicking Translate at the bottom left of the stack overview. If the language exists in the course stack or the Archived Translations folder, click Translate again to overwrite existing versions. Note: Retranslating or using AI translation for existing languages in a multi-language course within the same billing period does not affect your total purchased translation count. However, if you duplicate the multi-language course or send a copy to someone else, any new translations on the copy—including translating text updates—will be counted. Remove a Language To remove a language, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Archive. The language moves to the Archived Translation folder at the bottom left. You can restore or permanently delete the language from the Archived Translation folder. Retranslating archived languages will also permanently delete the versions in the Archived Translations folder. Save a Copy of a Language To save a language as a separate course or microlearning, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Save as. Give the copy a name and click Save. The copy is saved in the same folder as the multi-language project and includes the default label set for the corresponding language. The label set is also added to the list of built-in label sets under Course Settings. Tips Add Collaborators You can add collaborators to your multi-language course in three ways: Click Share > View collaborators from the course stack or while editing the course to add them via course settings. From your Rise dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course, click the More (...) icon, and select Share to add them via share settings. If the course already has collaborators, a Share Settings option displays instead. Hover over the content tile for the course from your Rise dashboard, click the More (...) icon, and select Move to move the course to a team folder. Everyone who has collaborator access to the team folder you choose will have the same access to the course. You can add anyone with an Articulate 360 Teams subscription, but they must have Articulate Localization to access course stacks. Note that course managers and editors can view and edit multi-language courses, but only course managers can initiate course translations and manage languages. Collaborators without access to Articulate Localization can’t access the course stacks, but course managers can save separate copies of each language to their account when they try to launch the course stack. Localizing Video and Audio Assets Localize video and audio assets automatically by inserting closed captions before translation. Since closed captions are text, they will be translated when you add languages to your course. If you already have translated versions of the assets, you can upload them to the corresponding language variants. Understand Question Banks Questions drawn from question banks are translated together with the course. When publishing to Review 360 for validation, we recommend including all the questions from the question bank so validators can review them. Learn more about using question banks in knowledge checks and quizzes. Include Right-to-Left Languages Rise 360 supports multi-language courses with both left-to-right and right-to-left language versions. In edit mode, right-to-left language versions are in a left-to-right layout, but they will automatically adjust to right-to-left layouts when the course is previewed, reviewed, or published.Articulate 360: Managing Your Profile and Account

Make Math Equations Accessible Math equations are rendered as scalable vector graphics (SVG), which means they’ll stay sharp when resized or zoomed in. You can further enhance math accessibility with these steps: Add short and long descriptions (alt text). Use a two-part text alternative for complex images to make them more accessible to all learners, including screen reader users. Short descriptions are meant to identify the image, while long descriptions represent essential information conveyed by the image. The alt text should spell out the name of each symbol in the equation. (1.1.1 Non-text Content) Meet color contrast guidelines. When using the color option, use a web-based contrast checker or download a contrast checker tool to test the contrast ratio of your math equation. (1.4.11 Non-text Contrast) Determine whether text within an image is necessary. Use text over images when conveying information. However, having text within a math equation SVG is acceptable if it gives learners essential context. (1.4.5 Images of Text)Review 360: Invite Stakeholders to Review Content
After publishing or uploading an item to Review 360, you can use either a share link or review request to invite stakeholders to review the item and post their feedback. Learn about each process below. Use a Share Link Create a Review Request Use a Share Link To share your content and collect feedback, send stakeholders a direct link to your Review 360 item. From your dashboard, hover over an item, and click the More (•••) icon that appears. Then, choose Share settings. Or select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the card, and choose the chain link icon from the action toolbar on top. You can also open a Review 360 item from the dashboard and click Share in the upper right corner of the screen. Next, choose who can view your item using the Item Access dropdown. You can select Anyone with the link or Only invited users. The dialog box shows different options depending on your choice: Anyone with the link Only invited users Anyone with the link Select Anyone with the link from the dropdown to share your content more broadly. Then decide if you need these optional settings: If your reviewers don’t have Articulate accounts, select Allow users without Articulate IDs to comment. Stakeholders must enter their email addresses so you can identify their comments, and they can receive discussion notifications. We recommend encouraging stakeholders to sign in with an Articulate ID for the best experience. For example, reviewers who sign in can see badges for unread comments and change their email notification settings. Ask them to create a free account here. To password-protect your content for additional security, select the Set a password checkbox and enter a password in the field that appears. Turn off the password at any time simply by unchecking it. (Only the content owner and team folder editors can add and remove passwords.) Notes: Although share links are public, we prevent search engines from indexing our site so they won’t be searchable. However, if you post these links on a public web page, they may be indexed by a search engine. To protect confidential information, set a password or limit access to specific users. When you share Storyline project files with collaborators, they can access any integrated comments linked to the slides unless you password-protect the Review 360 item. Only invited users Choose Only invited users from the dropdown if you want more control over who can view the link. Invited users must have an Articulate ID to access the item you’re sharing. (If the stakeholder you want to invite doesn’t have an Articulate ID, ask them to create a free account here.) Then follow these steps to manage access: To add users, type in the person's email address in the People with Access field, then press Enter or select it from the drop-down list. Or copy a list of email addresses (use any form of separator—commas, semi-colons, spaces, cells in spreadsheets) and paste it to the People with Access field to add them automatically. You can add anyone from your team or outside the organization, as long as they have an Articulate ID. Remove users by clicking the X icon beside their name. Click Save to confirm any changes. Tips when making your item private: If your item is in a team folder, you'll see folder editors listed under "People with Access" with a folder icon beside their names. You can remove them via the folder share settings. Although you can add reviewers without Articulate IDs via request review, only those with accounts are included automatically. You'll see them under "People with Access" with a clipboard icon beside their names. Those without Articulate IDs must create a free account using the same reviewer email address to gain Viewer access. If you want collaborators to see integrated comments linked to slides in your Storyline project files, you must grant them access to the Review 360 item you want to share. Check out this FAQ for more information. Copy the shareable link from the dialog box and send it to your reviewers. Be sure to give them the password if you added one. And if your reviewers have never used Review 360 before, feel free to share this user guide or this downloadable PDF on reviewing content in Review 360. Create a Review Request To set a due date and keep track of your stakeholders' progress, create a review request by following the steps below. Launch the Review 360 item and click the Request Review button on the top right. Type in the reviewer's email address and select it from the drop-down list. Add more reviewers as needed. Or copy a list of reviewer email addresses formatted with any kind of separator—commas, semi-colons, spaces, cells in spreadsheets—and paste it to the Assigned Reviewers field to add them automatically. Enter a custom message for your reviewers if you like. For example, if your content is password-protected, include the password in your message. Make messages easier to read using the formatting options on the toolbar on top. Or, use the keyboard shortcuts below. Icon Function Key(s) Window / macOS Bold Ctrl+B / Cmd+B Italic Ctrl+I / Cmd+I Strikethrough Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X Hyperlink Ctrl+C / Cmd+C to copy the URL Ctrl+V / Cmd+V to hyperlink the selected text Ordered list Ctrl+Shift+8 / Cmd+Shift+8 Bullet list Ctrl+Shift+7 / Cmd+Shift+7 Clear formatting N/A Add a line break Shift+Enter or Control+Enter / Cmd+Enter Set a due date for sending email reminders to reviewers if they haven't completed their review. Reminders are sent the day before, on the due date, and the day after. Confirm all the details are correct, then click Send Request. The text on the request review button reflects the status of the request, which could be either of the following: Button Text Description Request Review You haven’t assigned any reviewers. In Review You have assigned reviewers who haven’t completed the review. Review Assigned to You Assigned reviewers see this text when they use their personalized URL or are signed in with their Articulate ID. More details in below. Review Complete All assigned reviewers have completed their review. All reviewers will receive an email notification with a personalized URL to launch the Review 360 item. Using this URL, they'll see a Review Assigned to You button on the top right. When they click the button, they’ll see details of the request, including the due date, a list of reviewers, and a Finish Review button to set their status to Review Complete. A Re-Open Review link appears at the bottom right once they’ve completed their review. If they need to reset their status, they can click the link and choose Re-Open when prompted. Note: If your Review 360 item share link is private, reviewers must have an Articulate ID to view it. Ask them to create a free account here if they don't have one. Update Your Request Modify your request after sending it. Change the Due Date Click the In Review button, select a new date from the due-date dropdown, and click Save. All reviewers will receive email notifications of the new due date. Their status doesn't change. Add Reviewers Invite more reviewers to look through your content. Click the In Review button and then the More (•••) icon beside the Request Review header. Select Add Reviewers. Type in their email address and select it from the drop-down list. Click Update Reviewers when you're done. Note: To remove a reviewer, click the X beside their name and select Remove. Delete Delete the current round of review requests to start a new one. Click the In Review button and then the More (•••) icon beside the Request Review header. Select Delete Request, and click Yes to confirm. Note that you can't undo this action. Monitor Status Track your stakeholders' progress. Refer to the table below for more details on each status: Status Description E-mailed The reviewer hasn't viewed the Review 360 item. Item Viewed The reviewer launched the Review 360 item or reopened their review. In Progress The reviewer posted their first comment. Completed The reviewer marked the review request as complete. Tips: If your reviewers are new to Review 360, point them to this user guide for stakeholders or share this quick-start guide document (PDF) in your custom message. All seatholders can create or edit a request for any Review 360 item within the subscription. Only the request owner will be notified when reviewers set their status to complete. If a reviewer has an Articulate ID account linked to their email address, they must sign in with their password before posting a comment. Anyone viewing the Review 360 item using the public link can see the Request Review details. Assigned reviewers with Articulate IDs will see the Your Review section using this link when signed in. Select Allow users without Articulate IDs to comment if you want assigned reviewers without Articulate IDs to post comments.
