Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 81, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the bugs we've fixed is:
- Screen readers didn't always follow the correct focus order around the player menu or hidden slide objects
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!

Hello Nicole,
Thanks for reaching out!
You'll need to add the alternative text for each state so JAWS can read them back to your learners.
I tested this using JAWS 2021 and can confirm that adding the 'Alternate text' for the states will allow JAWS to read the states of a button.
Let me know if this works for you!
