Modern Text Rendering

The new text-rendering engine for Storyline uses the latest technology, allowing text to flow beautifully with consistent spacing and readability on every device.

Text Styles

Use styles to control the visual appearance of text elements, such as paragraphs and headings, for a consistent design.

Text Autofit

Members of your Articulate 360 Teams account can share and download slides right from Storyline, making it easy to collaborate on projects and maintain consistent design themes.

Slide Numbers

Make text easier to read by controlling how it displays when it overflows its bounding box. Allow the object’s width or height to expand to accommodate your text or lock the object at a fixed size to preserve your slide design. When locked, a scroll bar displays for text that doesn’t fit.

Replace Fonts

Quickly replace one font with another throughout your project. Choose the font you want to replace and the font you want to use instead, and Storyline will swap out every instance of the font for you.

Object Editing Enhancements

It’s easier than ever to size and position objects with pixel-perfect precision. As you move your mouse, you’ll get visual cues that dynamically update with the exact dimensions, coordinates, and rotation values of your objects. And with more snap points, quick-access alignment buttons, and x/y coordinates on the ribbon, you’ll format your objects faster.

Dockable Panels

Move the triggers, slide layers, timeline, states, notes, and scenes panels anywhere on your desktop or even to a second monitor.

Timeline

Make objects, animations, trigger events, and other elements appear in the right place at the right time with the intuitive visual timeline.

Enhanced Timeline Management

Create slides faster with time-saving upgrades to the timeline. Multi-select objects and move them all at once. Choose where pasted objects appear in the stacking order or even paste them into an existing group. Align objects to the playhead or vice versa. And when the timeline is too long, you can instantly reset it to five seconds or shorten it to the object with the longest duration.

Timeline Scrubbing

Quickly see when timed elements appear and disappear on the stage without previewing the entire slide.

Timeline Animation Editing

View and adjust the duration of object animations right on the timeline.

Paste Special

Control what happens when copying and pasting objects. Keep or discard their source duration, start time, animations, and triggers.

Story View

See a single, big-picture view of your course with Story View. Use it to easily view, rearrange, and edit slide relationships and course structure.

Renumber Scenes

Easily renumber scenes in story view so they appear in the order you want.

Slide View Toggle

Toggle between Slide View and Form View in one window, so you can make changes to slides quickly and easily.

Slide Masters

Apply the same look and feel across multiple slides, and create various layouts and assign them to slides with certain types of content.

One-Click Slide Insert

Add slides to your course with a single click. Use the New Slide button or the Ctrl+M shortcut to quickly add a new slide with the same layout as the current slide.

Enhanced Timeline Management

Picture placeholders can now be any shape. Images automatically scale and crop to fill placeholders, and when you delete or replace placeholder content, triggers stay intact.

Timeline Scrubbing

Create courses faster by changing the default slide dimensions for new projects.

Timeline Animation Editing

Apply design themes that include colors, fonts, and objects on your slide master to create a compelling look. You can even apply different themes to different slides.

Color Themes

Apply design themes that include colors, fonts, and objects on your slide master to create a compelling look. You can even apply different themes to different slides.

Enhanced Color Selector

Streamline your design workflow to create uniquely customized courses, now with a persistent color selector that lets you organize custom colors into different palettes.

Format Painter

Format any object on your slide, then copy your formatting to text boxes, shapes, buttons, characters, and more.

Zoom

Zoom-in to important content. Magnify anything on your slide, and add a panning effect by combining multiple zoom regions.

Content Importing

Easily import existing Articulate Storyline, PowerPoint, and Articulate Studio projects.

Localized Interface

Storyline is available in English, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.

AutoRecovery

Never lose your work. If Storyline closes unexpectedly, you’ll have the ability to reopen your file right where you left off.

Animations

Motion Paths

Make objects move any way you want from their initial or current position with 10 different motion paths that can be triggered by the timeline or learners’ actions. And with Storyline, you can now assign names to your motion paths, making them much easier to identify when creating triggers.

Fine-Tune Motions Paths

Create perfect motion paths, easily. Edit paths and start and end points individually or simultaneously using exact pixel positions and dimensions. And more accurately snap start and end points to one another or to other objects on the slide.

Orient Objects to Motion Paths

Change an object’s orientation as it travels along a non-linear motion path so it’s always facing the direction it’s moving.

Animaciones de entrada y salida

Easily make any object zoom, bounce, swivel, and more with 15 entrance and exit animations.

Animation Painter

Crea efectos de animación perfectos para un objeto y luego aplica rápidamente esos efectos a otros objetos.

Transitions

Choose from 17 transitions, including fade, push, circle, box, cover, dissolve, clock, and zoom, to add professional-looking transitions to your slides and layers.

Interactions

Slide Layers

Use layers to display additional content on the same slide in response to learners’ actions. Layers are powerful interactivity tools, and now they’re better than ever. Leave the properties window open as you switch between layers, saving time and clicks, and set properties for and duplicate multiple layers at the same time.

Dialog Layers

Identify a slide layer as a modal dialog when you don’t want learners to interact with anything else in the course while the layer is open. Dialog layers overlay the browser window and dim other content, creating a familiar navigation experience for everyone, including screen reader users.

States

Make objects respond to learners’ actions. From changing the color of a button when it’s clicked to the expression of a character, you can modify states any way you want.

Insert Pictures as States

Quickly create a series of states for an image by importing multiple pictures all at once.

Triggers

Build any interaction you can imagine by assigning one or more triggers to an object from an easy-to-understand menu, choosing when and what kind of action you want to occur.

Conditional Trigger Enhancements

Define two actions for a single trigger instead of needing multiple triggers. Set up conditions to determine which action gets executed.

Media & Simulations

Screen Recording

Show learners exactly what you want them to grasp by recording your screen. Insert your recording into a slide as a demo, trial, assessment, or video, then easily add captions, characters, and zoom-and-pan effects.

Software Simulations

Identify a slide layer as a modal dialog when you don’t want learners to interact with anything else in the course while the layer is open. Dialog layers overlay the browser window and dim other content, creating a familiar navigation experience for everyone, including screen reader users.

Action Fine Tuning

Fix mistakes, make edits, and even change the starting and ending frames in your screen recording, all without impacting the original video file or requiring you to re-record.

Media Library

Build courses faster. Manage all the assets for your project in one place with the Storyline media library. Easily add, remove, replace, reuse, and export images, characters, audio clips, and videos. See every slide and layer where an asset is used and jump to each location instantly. You can even edit assets with third-party apps and save your changes directly to Storyline.

Multimedia Support

Easily create, import, and edit video, audio, and images, without complex conversions or encoding. And use broadcast-level audio optimization for consistent volume throughout a course.

SVG Support

Import scalable vector graphics (SVGs) to Storyline so images stay sharp when learners zoom in and out.

Assessments

Form-Based Questions

Easily assess your learners’ progress. Choose from 20 predefined, form-based questions to build quizzes in seconds.

Freeform Questions

Turn objects on your slide into an engaging, decision-making activity, without any programming.

Negative Scoring

Easily create more accurate testing by subtracting points from learners’ scores when they answer incorrectly.

Question Import

You don’t have to start every assessment from scratch. You can import questions from Excel or text files you get from a database or subject matter experts.

Question Banks

Easily group and manage the questions in your course by pooling them in banks, which can be randomized or even imported into other courses for reuse.

Result Slides

Add a result slide after each assessment to give learners feedback on their performance. Choose from a gallery of result slides, including built-in templates with accessible color contrast baked right in. Customize your result slides with optional features, such as review, retry, and print buttons.

Player

Responsive Player

The new responsive player for Storyline dynamically adapts to different tablets and smartphones, providing an optimized view of your course on every device, without any manual tweaking. It fluidly responds to different mobile screen sizes and orientations, hiding sidebar menus, eliminating browser chrome, and delivering mobile-friendly playback controls.

Responsive Playback Restrictions

Control which mobile device orientations learners can use to view your course. For example, if you build a course that works best in landscape mode, restrict playback to landscape orientation on tablets and smartphones.

HTML5 Gestures

We’ve optimized the new responsive player for touch control. It supports touchscreen gestures—such as swiping, dragging, and pinch-to-zoom—in HTML5 output on tablets and smartphones.

Modern Player

Give desktop and mobile learners a unified experience with a modern player style that’s consistent across all devices.

Modern Player Custom Color

Brand your courses by choosing a custom background color for the modern player.

Modern Player Course Cover Photo

Make an impactful first impression. Add an image to your course start page to brand it or give learners an idea of the subject matter.
