Overview
Here is an update about changes coming to Articulate Storyline 360 experience. On October 29, 2019, Articulate released the new, more intuitive triggers panel and workflow which is lovable if you ask me 🙂
So, now Articulate has decided to remove the classic trigger workflow option from Articulate Storyline 360 in January 2021 to better support the new trigger workflow. Storyline 360 users still on the classic trigger workflow will need to migrate to the new trigger workflow before then.
1. Migration Options

Converting to the new trigger workflow in Storyline 360 is easy! You can install the latest Storyline 360 update, and you’ll automatically be converted to the new trigger workflow.

FAQ
Q:What happens if I do not switch to the new trigger workflow by January 2021?
A:The classic trigger workflow option will be completely removed from Articulate Storyline 360 in January 2021. Users who haven’t transitioned yet will be forced to adapt, as the software will exclusively support the new trigger panel.
Q:Will updating my Storyline 360 software automatically change my layout?
A:Yes. If you install the latest official Storyline 360 software update, your system will automatically convert your workspace to display the new, intuitive trigger workflow without any manual setup required.
Q:Can I manually toggle the new trigger workflow back and forth before the deadline?
A:Yes, you can manually activate it in your existing version. By going to File > Storyline 360 Options > Features, you can check the box to turn it on, or uncheck it if you need to revert to the classic view prior to the absolute January 2021 removal.
Final Thoughts
Change can sometimes feel daunting, but migrating away from legacy systems is the only way software can grow to better support our authoring needs.
