Print/Export triggers/variables
Hi,
Is it possible to export, or print, a list of variables or triggers?
For documentation of a project it would be very handy to be able to export a list of the triggers and variables so we can make it easier to pass projects between developers.

It's been 9 years down the line for me, and I had also requested this eon's ago. The last project I needed to check for a broken variable I had to screen capture the trigger panel; panel by panel. The printout was 10 meters (32 feet) long!! This is a crucial function as a few have pointed out: 1) to make handovers easier 2) keep track of them in a project - they can sometimes become extremely complex 3) when new members board the project it's just easier for them to catch up. Please Articulate - even if I can export it as a .CSV text value file it will help development in the product a lot!
Hello,
Like everyone else in this post I'm curious if there has been an update since the last update. I would like to be able to print the slides and the triggers and slide layers, essentially creating a storyboard. This would allow us to duplicate the process. Thank you!
Thanks so much for following up on this, Alana! We're still looking into the request for the ability to print a list of triggers and variables in Storyline 360. We'll be sure to update this thread if any adjustments are made to this feature in the future!
Not sure if this will help now but I do have a solution that I created that will display your triggers in a spreadsheet. It lists all conditions including Storyline's latest addition, Conditional Trigger Enhancements.
If you're interested private message me or reach out to me via LinkedIn.
I'd like to be able to search in my triggers or print all the triggers in a project. I am working with project I did not make myself and searching or printing could really help me understand how they build it. For instance I want to see if they've added the "complete course" trigger and if they did on which slide and if they added certain 'if' variables to complete the course.
I've submited a feature request but thought I'd also add my comment here. This is a much needed feature in my opinion. When you are working with over 200 slides with approx 7 triggers per slide, there needs to be a better way to view triggers. It would be much more time efficient to look down a list of them all than click on each slide and layer individually. Often theres just one trigger that's causing chaos and it's hard to find if you have to look at everytihng in isolation
I'd love to have a reporting included with a packaging feature, just like InDesign, Quark, and Illustrator have. In advance of comments, I know that they're not the same type of software. :)
Would be useful to be able to generate a list of assets, variables, triggers, and anything else that might be useful.
We have left this request open and are continuing to track, Linda.
While the new features look great, especially the grouping feature, this does not satisfy the need to print the triggers. I hope you'll continue to work on that one! I'd still like to see it.
Hello everyone,
I wanted to pop in and let you know that we released an update to Storyline 360 today, which included a trigger panel and workflow update to make it faster and more intuitive.
I know it's not an answer to your specific feature request. Still, many of the details that we've gathered around the need for printing the trigger panel are specific to:
- viewing and troubleshooting a long list of triggers
- understanding all the triggers tied to a particular action or event.
With the new triggers panel, you'll be able to:
- Inline edit - No need to open the trigger wizard
- Group view - Organize by an event to make it easier to find, edit, and debug.
- Disable Individual Triggers - No need to delete during your troubleshooting.
- Collapse and Expand - The ability to focus on specific triggers.
You can read all about this new trigger workflow as well as check out a video right here.
Thank you for telling me how you handle lots of triggers. I didn't know you undock it and expand it -- that does help a lot. I would still like to be able to print them out, but being able to expand the window to show many more triggers helps.
