Common Challenges That Slow You Down
Identifying Bottlenecks in the Storyline Development Process
Many teams unknowingly create delays by:
- Overusing layers and unnecessary triggers
- Skipping slide masters or templates
- Not planning content before development
- Managing feedback manually
Fixing these can instantly speed up Storyline development.
How to Speed Up Storyline Development with Smart Workflows
1. Reuse Templates & Layouts
Start every course with a pre-built, branded template. This removes repetitive formatting and allows more time for learning design.
2. Use Slide Masters
Master slides help maintain design consistency while dramatically reducing build time—especially in multi-module programs.
Collaborative Hacks to Develop Faster
If you work in teams, use shared drives and Articulate Review 360 to manage versions and feedback faster. Assign ownership early, and use timelines to track progress.
Tools That Speed Up Storyline Development
- Asset libraries (e.g., Storyline Templates from eLearning Brothers)
- Built-in triggers & variable libraries
- Pre-recorded narration synced with slides
- Animation presets
Measure What’s Working to Keep Optimizing
