January 26, 2023 (Build 3.72.29699.0)

We removed the font scaling improvements released on January 24, 2023 to give everyone more time to consider project compatibility implications. This update restores compatibility with Storyline 3 and earlier builds of Storyline 360. Let us know if you have any questions. We're happy to help!

January 24, 2023 (Build 3.72.29654.0)

• New: Let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.
• Enhanced: When you change your slide dimensions, Storyline 360 automatically scales font sizes throughout your project to preserve the slide designs and prevent scrollbars from appearing in text boxes.
• Enhanced: Storyline 360 output supports Live Caption in Google Chrome.
• Enhanced: The modern player controls have fixed positions across the bottom of the player, so they're consistent and easy for learners to remember. When you turn off the seekbar, the other controls no longer move to the opposite side of the player.

• Fixed: The enhanced color selector didn't always apply gradient colors or HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) values correctly.

November 29, 2022 (Build 3.70.29211.0)
