Slide masters are pretty great – they allow you to streamline your production by housing objects and/or triggers you want to be fired on top of all slides there. However, when it comes to accessibility and focus or tab orders, slide masters can have some nuances. Any object you place on a slide master will by default appear in the focus order and you cannot delete them from the focus order using the Custom order functionality. To remove these objects from appearing on all slide focus orders, you must do this at the slide master level.

In previous iterations of Articulate Storyline, you were unable to rename the automatically generated variables that go along with inserting a result slide – these are built-in variables. However, now you can do that in Articulate Storyline 360. Renaming variables can be particularly helpful if you’re working in projects that have many results slides as it can help you keep track of which variables belong to which result slide.

If you’ve ever been trying to hunt down a single slide to remove an extra slide master in Articulate Storyline, take a look to see if your project uses any draws from question banks. If it does, the draw is likely your source of frustration and anguish. You don’t have to drive yourself crazy placing coloured blocks over the entire slide in a slide master to hunt this down. Your sanity will thank you.

In this tutorial, I’m showing how you can use the Paste Special function in Articulate Storyline 360 to retain object formatting, specifically within groups, in Articulate Storyline 360. This is a pretty handy feature because you can choose to retain source duration, source start time, source animations, and source triggers – it can save a ton of time, and I’m a huge proponent of making workflows more efficient.
