How can I add an image from the Media Library in a picture placeholder?

Helllo Articulate developers,

How can I add an image from the Media Library in a picture placeholder? I don't see an icon for that.

  • Hello Everyone! 

    I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (Build 3.89.32618.0).

    In this update, we have an enhancement where:

    • The image placeholder on slide and feedback layouts now lets you insert an image from the media library.

    As a first stepI recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:

    Update Authoring Apps

    If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.

    Have a great day!

  • Hi Jeroen, you are right. This looks like quite an oversight.

    If you do add the same image again (from the same location, same filename etc) it will not create a duplicate in the library and will recognise the asset already exists.

  • When I add a content placeholder to a layout, and go to the slide view, I see the placeholder has six icons, but it doesn't have an icon for adding an image from the Media Library. Adding an image from the Media Library to a content placeholder is not possible?

    To be sure: I mean the Media Library not the Content Library.

      Hi Jeroen!

      Thanks for sharing the additional details! Happy to help with this!

      Currently, inserting content from the Media Library inside of a placeholder is not possible in Storyline 360. However, we are tracking interest with a feature request! I've linked this discussion to the feature report and will update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.

      In the meantime, as a workaround, we suggest:

      • Inserting images directly onto the slide
      • Inserting images into a shape

      Have a great rest of your week!

  • Hello Steven,

    Thanks for your reply!

    I think it's important to have this feature, because not having this feature negates the function of having the Media Library in the first place.

    Can I find the feature request somewhere?

    Have a great day!

     

  • So happy to hear you're excited about this new release, Jeroen! 

    Feel free to share any discoveries or questions with us in the community in the future. 

    Have a great weekend!
