• Enhanced: The seekbar is more accessible. Learners using screen readers on mobile devices can seek back and forth, and the seekbar is visible in high contrast mode.
• Enhanced: We updated the embedded version of Chromium to 90.0.4430.93 in Storyline 360.
• Fixed: Combining text and variables references in the same object could cause spacing or alignment issues in the published output.
• Fixed: Essay questions stopped enforcing the maximum number of characters specified by the author.
• Fixed: A learner's selected answer choices might be missing when they reviewed a quiz set to submit answers all at once.
• Fixed: Duplicating a slide with a zoom region caused other objects to disappear from the timeline panel for the new slide.
• Fixed: Lightboxes were blank when using modern player zoom (i.e., zoom to fit).
• Fixed: Storyline 360 could generate an error after opening the media library in some multi-monitor configurations.

June 1, 2021 (Build 3.52.25247.0)

• Fixed: Restart-course triggers caused the slide content to disappear.
• Fixed: Jump-to-slide triggers stopped working if they were set to execute when the timeline reached 0 seconds.

May 18, 2021 (Build 3.52.25156.0)

• New: 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. Learn more about text autofit improvements.
• Enhanced: Make accessible text the default text for a course with the click of a button. Learn more.
• Fixed: Text-wrapping could be enabled unexpectedly when dragging a text object. The text autofit improvements mentioned above fixed this issue. Upgrade text for existing projects to take advantage of the autofit enhancements.
• Fixed: We fixed some quizzing issues. Answer choices could overlap during quiz review. Results were calculated incorrectly after rapidly clicking the Next button through a quiz. Refreshing the browser tab or exiting and resuming the course after submitting a question and displaying its feedback allowed learners to retake the question.
• Fixed: A trigger that changed the state of an object after visiting other objects didn't work when the trigger was on a layer.
• Fixed: Projects with screen recordings took an exceedingly long time to publish as a video file.
• Fixed: Screen readers sometimes announced slide titles more than once.
• Fixed: The closed captioning button disappeared when slide layers paused the timeline of the base layer.
• Fixed: When viewing a course on an iPad, learners might need to tap buttons more than once to activate them, and rapidly tapping the Next button allowed learners to skip slides with restricted navigation.
• Fixed: Cropping a JPG image converted it to a PNG image, which could result in a larger file size in the published output.

April 27, 2021 (Build 3.51.24979.0)

• Enhanced: A "previous" button on the first slide of a course or a lightbox gets disabled and skipped during keyboard navigation, improving the experience for screen reader users and keyboard-only users.
• Enhanced: The closed captioning button's active state is more noticeable on the modern player, displaying an underline that matches the accent color.
• Enhanced: Easily identify the language of a Tin Can API (xAPI) course by entering a value in the Language Code field in your reporting and tracking options.
• Fixed: Learners could swipe on mobile devices to move between slides even when navigation was restricted and swipe gestures were turned off.
• Fixed: Sometimes, lightboxes were blank in published output.
• Fixed: Question details didn't always get sent to an LMS when a final result slide combined other result slides.
• Fixed: Screen readers constantly announced timestamps when the seekbar had focus. Now, screen readers announce the elapsed percentage one time when the seekbar gains focus—e.g., 10%. When learners activate the seekbar by pressing Enter or spacebar, screen readers announce the elapsed percentage as it changes—e.g., 10%, 11%, 12%, and so on.
• Fixed: NVDA screen readers didn't always follow the correct focus order of slide content, and the focus order sometimes started over from the beginning after opening a layer.

April 6, 2021 (Build 3.50.24832.0)

• New: Manually upload Storyline 360 courses to Review 360 when publishing directly from Storyline 360 is blocked by a firewall or when you need to edit the published output before sharing it with stakeholders.
• Fixed: Slide titles that wrapped to multiple lines in the menu could overlap one another.
• Fixed: Slide notes changed to a small, gray font that was hard to read when previewed or published.
• Fixed: Storyline 360 could close unexpectedly after clicking the Edit in Engage button.

March 23, 2021 (Build 3.50.24668.0)

• New: The modern player meets WCAG accessibility guidelines for visual contrast and color so all learners can read the text, decipher the icons, perceive the controls, and navigate easily. Learn more about modern player accessible contrast.
• Enhanced: Since Adobe discontinued Flash at the end of 2020, we removed Flash features, including the options to import Flash movies and publish Flash output, from Storyline 360.
• Fixed: Tab-key navigation didn't follow the designated focus order on slide layers set to prevent learners from clicking on the base layer.
• Fixed: When a data-entry field was in a scrolling panel, the keyboard focus always started on the data-entry field rather than following the designated focus order.
• Fixed: The print results feature didn't work in CD-published output.
• Fixed: Triggers set to occur when media completes didn't always work when previewing a project.

February 23, 2021 (Build 3.49.24347.0)

• New: Word translation is faster, provides more context for translators, and preserves all text formatting, including lists and paragraph spacing. Plus, it uses the modern DOCX format, so you can open files in any DOCX editor, such as Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice.
• Enhanced: The accessibility controls for learners are now disabled by default in existing projects and saved custom players so authors don't have to opt out of the new controls for projects that are already going through the design process.
• Fixed: When the slide background was semi-transparent, the player frame color showed through the slide as expected in the published output. However, transparency didn't work on the slide stage or during preview.
• Fixed: When the seekbar was set to allow dragging only after completion, learners could drag the seekbar before completion on smartphones in portrait orientation.
• Fixed: An error occurred when changing the placeholder picture for a web object.
• Fixed: When publishing a project with slide transitions to a video file with very high quality, brief flashes or glitches could occur in the published output.
• Fixed: Gradient stops behaved erratically when edited.
• Fixed: Published courses could freeze when viewed in Safari on a Mac.

January 21, 2021 (Build 3.48.24159.0)

• Fixed: Project files wouldn't open after adding a result slide due to an error with text scrollbars.

January 19, 2021 (Build 3.48.24116.0)

• Enhanced: We added more keyboard shortcuts for learners, including play/pause, previous, next, and submit. Plus, learners can now use the ESC key to close the shortcuts screen.
• Enhanced: The new trigger workflow is now the only trigger workflow. We retired the classic workflow.
• Fixed: Shadow and glow effects stopped working in Google Chrome and chromium-based Microsoft Edge.
• Fixed: When publishing a course with the classic player style and HTML5-only features, such as jump-to-time triggers or multiple completion criteria, the output erroneously included Flash files.
• Fixed: Accented letters and special characters displayed as HTML-encoded strings on the start/resume screen in the modern player.
• Fixed: Quiz result slides didn't load when the player was set to never resume.
• Fixed: When setting a result slide to score only viewed questions and retry only incorrect questions, the final score could be over 100% or the result slide might not load.
• Fixed: Hyperlinks didn't always work when viewing courses in Internet Explorer.
• Fixed: When using the modern player style, the volume slider could move erratically, or the menu scroll bar could extend below the menu panel.
• Fixed: Audio might stop working when pausing and resuming a slide on Apple iOS devices.

December 15, 2020 (Build 3.47.23871.0)

• New: Let learners with accessibility needs change the visual appearance of text in a published course to make it more readable. Learn more about accessible text.
• New: Text publishes with the proper semantic formatting for headings, links, lists, and other elements so screen reader users can explore content easily.
• New: Use text styles to make content easy to navigate with a screen reader. Accessible text styles allow learners with visual disabilities to identify headings, hyperlinks, blockquotes, and paragraphs on each slide so they understand its layout and context. Learners can also use screen reader shortcuts to jump directly to headings and links.
• New: Create custom styles for every text element in a project, including blockquotes, button labels, image captions, speech bubbles, and more.
• New: Rename your custom text styles so they’re easy to identify. For example, you might rename Custom 1 as Button Labels.
• New: Let learners personalize their learning experience. When you enable the new accessibility settings menu, learners can change the zoom mode, turn accessible text on or off, and toggle keyboard shortcuts.
• Enhanced: Learners can now use keyboard shortcuts to mute/unmute audio, replay the slide, turn closed captions on/off, and more. Player controls also follow a more intuitive navigation order that's similar to popular video-streaming sites. Learn more about accessible player controls.
• Enhanced: We updated the embedded version of Chromium to 85.3.121.0 in Storyline 360.
• Fixed: With the introduction of accessible semantic formatting (see above), learners can now tab to hyperlinks in text boxes and activate them by pressing the Enter key. We also fixed links that didn't work when they were in a text box with a variable reference. And JAWS screen readers no longer announce links as buttons.
• Fixed: When using a screen reader, the focus order didn't always follow the correct path for slides with layers.
• Fixed: When using keyboard navigation, the focus rectangle was sometimes misaligned or offset from the selected object.
• Fixed: The playhead jumped back to the beginning of the timeline when previewing a layer.
• Fixed: Wipe and wheel animations stopped working for arrows and dashed lines.
• Fixed: The font size changed unexpectedly when pasting text from one theme to another, and text formatting was incorrect when pasting a text box and another object at the same time.

November 17, 2020 (Build 3.46.23620.0)

• New: Define styles for hyperlink states (normal, hover, active, and visited) to give your course a consistent design and provide clear visual distinction for learners with low vision.
• Enhanced: Text styles now support live previews. Hover over your styles in the ribbon drop-down list to see how the selected text looks with each one.
• Enhanced: Get details about each text style by glancing at its sub-menu in the ribbon drop-down list. The sub-menu header displays the style name, its HTML tag (for improved screen reader navigation—coming soon), plus its font, size, and decoration.
• Enhanced: When you publish courses to Articulate Online, Storyline 360 reminds you that Articulate Online will shut down on December 31, 2021.
• Fixed: Buttons were cut off or hidden on player notifications, such as the resume prompt and the invalid answer message, when the classic player was set to fill the browser window.
• Fixed: Arrows and dashed lines were blurry when previewed or published.
• Fixed: A shape with a picture fill set to "tile picture as texture" didn't always look right on the slide stage, and it displayed differently in preview mode.
• Fixed: Some Czech player text labels were actually Polish, and the optional launch page displayed question marks when using Hebrew text labels.
• Fixed: You couldn't add more than one "reset results" trigger on a slide.
• Fixed: When a layer was set to hide other slide layers, learners could still tab to data-entry fields on the other layers.
• Fixed: The timeline preview feature didn't always work. In some cases, playback would freeze at the beginning of the timeline.

October 27, 2020 (Build 3.45.23393.0)

• Enhanced: The new trigger workflow is now the default workflow for everyone. We'll retire the classic workflow in January 2021.
• Fixed: Scroll bars and red spell-check lines on one layer were visible on other layers when they should've been hidden.
• Fixed: A published course could flicker when moving from one layer to another.
• Fixed: Some Content Library 360 icons were blank when inserted into a project, and they could cause Storyline 360 to crash.
• Fixed: We fixed a couple of tracking issues. Completion triggers sent an unnecessary score of 0% to an LMS. And when a result slide tracked other result slides, the child result slides could become unchecked or deselected in the quiz settings for the final result slide.
• Fixed: The search and filter features in the media library stopped working.

September 29, 2020 (Build 3.44.23192.0)

• New: Let Storyline 360 keep track of every quiz in your course, then send results to your LMS for first quiz each learner completes. Learn more about expanded quiz tracking.
• New: Give learners more than one way to complete a course. Let your LMS mark the course complete as soon as learners view a certain number of slides, finish a quiz, or reach a completion trigger. Learn more about tracking multiple completion criteria.
• New: Allow learners to skip quiz questions without negatively affecting their score by grading only the questions they view. Details here.
• Enhanced: The Edit Result Slide button is now called Quiz Settings and has moved from the sidebar to the ribbon, giving you more space to work with triggers. We also redesigned the Quiz Settings window, adding an option to select and deselect all the questions in a scene at the same time.
• Enhanced: The Tab Order window is now called Focus Order to better reflect its purpose. It manages the tab order of interactive objects, such as buttons and markers, for keyboard-only users. It also manages the reading order of non-interactive objects, such as text and images, for screen reader users.
• Enhanced: Storyline 360 no longer duplicates the slide master when you import more slides from a template or project you've already imported. New slides from the same source now use the same slide master so you only have to design it once with text styles and other thematic elements. The only time a new slide master gets generated is when the number of layouts differs between the existing slide master and the one being imported.
• Enhanced: Text style tooltips let you know when the style for the selected text has been modified by the placeholder on the slide master.
• Fixed: Images with animations might flicker when publishing a project as a video file.
• Fixed: Some "submit results" triggers were disabled when opening project files with the previous update. That was unexpected at the time. However, with the introduction of expanded quiz tracking in this update, untracked quizzes and combined result slides in existing project files have disabled "submit results" triggers by design. And new project files won't have any "submit results" triggers for untracked quizzes or combined result slides. Learn more.
• Fixed: A result slide that tracked other result slides didn't always send a score to an LMS.
• Fixed: Resetting a text-entry variable so it had no value didn't actually clear the text-entry field, and a course could freeze when setting a numeric-entry variable equal to the value of another variable.
• Fixed: Keyboard focus stayed on the submit button after submitting a quiz question, so screen readers didn't automatically announce content on the feedback layer.
• Fixed: Line spacing shrank on slide masters and feedback masters when using a custom story size.
• Fixed: Scroll bars in the sidebar didn't always start at the top of the panel, and sometimes links or files at the bottom of the Resources panel wouldn't open.
• Fixed: Storyline 360 could crash when previewing or publishing a project with states containing hyperlinks.
• Fixed: Learners couldn't scroll through the answer choices in the last list of sequence drop-down questions.

August 18, 2020 (Build 3.43.22859.0)

• Fixed: A timer could continue to display after moving past a quiz, and sometimes the "time limit exceeded" message would appear on a result slide.
• Fixed: After resuming an LMS course, learners couldn't drag the conditional seekbar on slides they already viewed.
• Fixed: On mobile devices, learners could drag the seekbar when it was supposed to be locked—either read-only or set to allow dragging after completion.
• Fixed: Learners could bypass restricted or locked navigation by rapidly, repeatedly clicking the Next button.

August 4, 2020 (Build 3.42.22792.0)

• Fixed: We fixed formatting issues with text styles on slide masters and content placeholders.

July 24, 2020 (Build 3.42.22734.0)

• Fixed: Course completion triggers stopped working in the latest updates.

July 23, 2020 (Build 3.42.22724.0)

• Fixed: Font sizes changed unexpectedly in some projects with custom slide sizes.

July 21, 2020 (Build 3.42.22691.0)

• New: Use text styles to control the visual appearance of text elements, such as paragraphs and headings. You can even define two custom styles for repetitive elements, such as button labels, blockquotes, image captions, or speech bubbles.
• Fixed: Course completions and quiz scores weren't recorded in an LMS when the player was set to launch in a new window.
• Fixed: Sometimes, effect options were missing for fly-in animations. When that happened, the preview feature didn't work, and Storyline could crash.
• Fixed: The menu option to "show tooltip on hover" stopped working.

July 7, 2020 (Build 3.41.22509.0)

• Fixed: Slides could be blank when previewed or published if they had variable references that used OpenType (OTF) fonts.
• Fixed: Courses didn't load in custom iOS apps for these LMSs: Cornerstone and TalentLMS.
• Fixed: The FORCED_COMMIT_TIME variable in the scormdriver.js file defaulted to a value of 0 in the previous update, preventing courses from sending "keep alive" messages to an LMS to keep learners' sessions from timing out. This update restores the default value of 60000, which sends a "keep alive" message to the LMS every 60 seconds.

June 23, 2020 (Build 3.41.22450.0)

• Enhanced: Interactive markers are now fully keyboard-accessible. Learn more.
• Enhanced: Take advantage of all the latest accessibility enhancements added in Storyline 360 when you publish courses to Review 360. Learn more.
• Enhanced: We listened to your feedback and improved keyboard navigation for the slide controls. Now you can use the Tab key to access the play/pause button, the seekbar, and the replay button individually.
• Enhanced: View Tin Can API (xAPI) courses on your local computer before you upload them to your LMS. Details here.
• Enhanced: We added support for hardware graphics acceleration to pave the way for 360° image interactions, which are in development.
• Fixed: Scrolling panels weren't keyboard-accessible, and screen readers didn't announce disabled states for player navigation buttons.
• Fixed: Screen recordings kept capturing data when the recorder was paused.
• Fixed: We fixed some LMS reporting issues, including multiple-choice responses that appeared in SCORM 2004 reports with a prefix of urn:scormdriver and essay responses that weren't submitted with Tin Can API results.
• Fixed: In some cases, the search feature worked inconsistently. In others, learners could use the search feature to jump to unvisited slides when menu navigation was restricted or locked.
• Fixed: When courses with all player controls turned off were viewed on mobile devices, content shifted to the right side of the screen, and videos didn't fill the screen.
• Fixed: Sometimes a line appeared across videos in the Storyline 360 editor.
• Fixed: When pasting text from an external source, the original formatting remained intact when "Keep Text Only" was selected, and if you were using the classic trigger workflow, Storyline 360 could crash.

May 19, 2020 (Build 3.40.22208.0)

• New: When you use the modern player style, learners can use the zoom settings in desktop browsers to make slides bigger and easier to see. Learn more.
• Fixed: Screen readers stopped announcing text in interactive markers, incorrectly announced the close button for lightboxes, and sometimes repeated the course title on each slide.
• Fixed: Learners couldn't drag the seekbar when revisiting a slide even though the seekbar was set to "allow drag after completion."
• Fixed: Objects near the top of the slide weren't interactive when using the classic player with the title or topbar tabs turned off.
• Fixed: Scrolling panels immediately scrolled to the bottom when they contained data-entry fields.
• Fixed: Interactive objects, such as data-entry fields and videos with player controls, stopped working or disappeared when they were hidden from accessibility tools.
• Fixed: Slide content didn't fill the screen on mobile devices in portrait mode when menus and controls were turned off in the modern player, and interactive objects weren't always clickable on mobile devices in landscape mode.
• Fixed: When a slide had multiple slider interactions, the following slide wouldn't load.

May 5, 2020 (Build 3.39.22088.0)

• Fixed: A 404 error occurred in some LMSs when learners exited a course.
• Fixed: Storyline 360 could behave erratically or crash when using a non-English interface.

April 21, 2020 (Build 3.39.21985.0)

• New: Publish Storyline 360 courses to cmi5—the newest LMS standard.
• Enhanced: Storyline 360 now publishes Tin Can API (xAPI) courses using version 1.0.2 of the LMS standard.
• Fixed: Closed captions from multiple layers could display simultaneously, and audio/video content that was duplicated on multiple slides with different captions resulted in the wrong captions being shown.
• Fixed: We fixed several player issues, including timers that didn't stop on result slides, searches and replay buttons that didn't always work, resume dialog buttons that were hidden, and slide objects that weren't clickable when the player controls were turned off.
• Fixed: An error occurred when uploading team slides if a quiz question had more than 255 characters.
• Fixed: Slides wouldn't load when revisiting them if they had data-entry fields.
• Fixed: Grouped objects with random bars, shape, wheel, or wipe animations flickered or shifted when previewed or published.

April 7, 2020 (Build 3.38.21861.0)

• Enhanced: We updated the embedded version of Chromium to 79.0.3945.130 in Storyline 360.

March 24, 2020 (Build 3.38.21779.0)

• New: Create unique interactions and give learners new ways to navigate by using triggers that jump to different times or cue points on the timeline. Learn more.
• New: Save time by previewing multiple scenes or slides when you don’t need to preview the entire course. Details here.
• Enhanced: When you publish, Storyline 360 lets you know if your project has any HTML5-only features.
• Fixed: Player features stopped working in Internet Explorer when they were disabled on one slide and enabled on the next. And in some cases, logos appeared stretched in Internet Explorer.
• Fixed: Audio and video content continued to play after switching to another browser tab.
• Fixed: A white border appeared around a Storyline block in Rise 360 when the block had a custom background color.
• Fixed: After importing a result slide into a question bank, a project wouldn't load when previewed or published. Question banks can't contain result slides, so that import loophole has been fixed.
• Fixed: When the base layer had a data-entry field, interactive objects on other layers weren't clickable and learners could still edit the field on the base layer.
• Fixed: After publishing each scene in a Storyline project as a separate Review 360 item, publishing a new version of one of the scenes sometimes updated the wrong Review 360 item.
• Fixed: Player tab names were truncated or cut off when the sidebar was initially collapsed.
• Fixed: Closed captions carried over from one slide to the next when the slide advanced automatically. Revisiting the slide also duplicated the closed captions.
• Fixed: Storyline crashed when copying and pasting radio buttons and check boxes.

March 3, 2020 (Build 3.37.21614.0)

• Fixed: A project could freeze or hang while publishing to a video file.

• Fixed: Data-entry fields stopped responding to on-click triggers.

February 18, 2020 (Build 3.37.21453.0)

• Enhanced: We redesigned the optional launch page for published courses so it’s accessible to screen readers.
• Enhanced: We listened to your feedback and empowered screen reader users to control their e-learning experience. Screen readers no longer auto-read slide content. Now, a screen reader announces the title of each slide and then waits for the learner to explore the content.
• Fixed: We fixed a few issues with data-entry fields. Learners had to click a data-entry field before they could type a response. In some cases, they couldn't select the default text before typing a response. Text didn't always scroll when it was longer than the data-entry field.
• Fixed: Closed captions didn't change size after adjusting the modern player font size, nor did they display consistently when the Player.DisplayCaptions variable was set to true.
• Fixed: Screen readers didn't always read alt text in object states. In some cases, screen readers repeated quiz questions or read animated paragraphs out of sequence.
• Fixed: Learners couldn't scroll through web objects on iPhones or iPads.
• Fixed: Korean text was distorted or garbled when previewed or published.
• Fixed: Hotspots didn't work consistently when the sidebar and topbar player features were turned off.
• Fixed: A result slide displayed a score of Infinity% after exiting and resuming the quiz when the slides were configured to reset to their initial states.
• Fixed: Objects on top of videos or screen recordings disappeared in zoom regions.

January 28, 2020 (Build 3.36.21289.0)

• Fixed: Rise 360 lessons jumped immediately to Storyline blocks where the first slide had a layer. To fix the problem, install the latest Storyline 360 update, republish your course to Review 360, and reinsert your Storyline block in Rise 360.

January 21, 2020 (Build 3.36.21213.0)

• New: Navigation just got a whole lot easier for screen reader users. Learners can use a broader range of screen readers on more web browsers and devices. Learners can also take advantage of more screen reader features and improved player controls. Learn more about the accessible player.
• Enhanced: Slide content is more accessible. Text is treated as normal document text by screen readers. Objects are correctly identified to assistive technologies. Hotspots and drop-down lists are now keyboard-accessible. And more!
• Enhanced: Select multiple triggers and edit them all at once. Easily copy, paste, move, disable, and delete triggers in bulk. Details here.
• Enhanced: Save time by copying conditions from one trigger and pasting them on another. Learn how.
• Enhanced: Select multiple variables and then copy, paste, or delete them at the same time. Use Ctrl+click, Shift+click, and Ctrl+A to multi-select variables.
• Enhanced: Storyline 360 no longer uses jQuery, so we removed it from the app. You can still use jQuery to write custom JavaScript triggers. Here's how.
• Fixed: Radio buttons shifted or shook when clicked in published output.
• Fixed: Numeric-entry questions could be evaluated incorrectly even when learners entered the right answer.
• Fixed: Adjusted number variables with decimal values reset to their default values when resuming a course.
• Fixed: Layers appeared blank when the base layer had certain icons from Content Library 360 or SVG images from PowerPoint.
• Fixed: The player properties window would disappear unexpectedly.
• Fixed: A project file could corrupt after importing step-by-step screen recordings from another project.

December 19, 2019 (Build 3.35.21017.0)

• Fixed: Project files wouldn't always open in Storyline 360 build 3.35.20995.0.

December 17, 2019 (Build 3.35.20995.0)

• Enhanced: Storyline 360 has been upgraded to run on Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable, which automatically installs with this update.
• Enhanced: We added support for Google Chrome 80, which no longer allows synchronous XHR when a web page is closed. This update ensures your AICC courses always communicate a final status to an LMS.
• Enhanced: Storyline 360 now lists the specific features that prevent a file from opening. You must have this update or later installed to see the new incompatibility details.
• Fixed: The same media file used on multiple slides was duplicated in the published output.
• Fixed: Step-by-step screen recordings could become blurry after clicking a slide or during mouse animations.

November 19, 2019 (Build 3.34.20804.0)

• Enhanced: Change the order of conditions in the new trigger wizard without deleting and recreating them. Simply drag them up and down the list.
• Enhanced: Customize your player settings faster. The player properties window opens quickly, and the player preview instantly refreshes as you make selections.
• Enhanced: We added a new Brazilian Portuguese voice, Camila, and a new Latin American Spanish voice, Lupe, for text-to-speech conversion.
• Fixed: Audio wouldn't play and sliders didn't always work on iPadOS 13 devices.
• Fixed: Web objects were misaligned, the wrong size, or didn't scale properly in published output.
• Fixed: After editing the alt text for an object, JAWS screen readers would read the original alt text instead.
• Fixed: Zoom regions with a transition speed of "very slow" didn't zoom in completely.
• Fixed: The copying and pasting features in the Storyline editor sometimes stopped working.
• Fixed: Videos would start over when clicking the seekbar.
• Fixed: In some cases, a course wouldn't preview or publish when it had videos with closed captions.

November 5, 2019 (Build 3.33.20697.0)

• Fixed: Content Library 360 search results wouldn't always load for authors behind a proxy server.
• Fixed: Variable references in right-to-left text displayed in the reverse order.
• Fixed: The option to trigger hyperlinks "when the mouse hovers over" was missing in the new trigger workflow.

October 29, 2019 (Build 3.33.20625.0)

• New: Easily manage triggers and work faster with the new, more intuitive triggers panel and workflow. Edit everything in the triggers panel with convenient drop-down lists and group triggers by event so they’re easier to find. You can even disable individual triggers to troubleshoot interactions and try out different options. The trigger wizard prefills fields with common choices, supports keyboard navigation, and adds conditions without opening extra windows. Details here.
• Enhanced: Preserve the original quality of your MP3 audio files by turning off compression in Storyline 360. Uncompressed MP3 files retain their stereo format in your published output.
• Enhanced: Audio now publishes at a higher sample rate of 44,100 Hz so your e-learning courses sound better than ever.
• Fixed: Step-by-step screen recordings could flicker when transitioning between slides.
• Fixed: When you previewed the slide stage using the timeline controls and then paused the playback, a video on the slide would briefly show its first frame before switching back to the current frame on the timeline.
• Fixed: Images were blurry when their shapes were changed or they were used as shape fills.
• Fixed: Feedback layers wouldn't display on sequence drag-and-drop and matching drop-down questions when the "Hide objects on base layer" property was enabled.

September 24, 2019 (Build 3.32.20313.0)

• Enhanced: You'll now see an HTML5 preview in the player properties windows. It no longer relies on Flash. And that means Storyline 360 is officially Flash-free. You can still publish Flash output, but the Flash Player isn’t required to use Storyline 360. Learn more.
• Fixed: Animations couldn't be removed from multiple objects all at once.
• Fixed: In Rise 360 courses, a white line appeared around Storyline blocks that had custom background colors.
• Fixed: Text disappeared from lists with justified alignment.
