Articulate: Horizontal Scroll Panel (Create Timeline)

Articulate Storyline has a insert Scrolling Panel feature, unfortunately it doesn't permit you to rotate the location of the scroll bar.  After some thought and "playing" I discovered that if you insert a shape with no fill then group the scrolling panel and the shape it will then be possible to rotate the scrolling window.  This is great for showing timelines and/or landscape documents for acknowledgement, etc.   Tip:  Create a T/F question to create an acknowledgement page.

1.  Insert Scrolling Panel

2.  Draw Scroll Panel











3. Insert item (image, document, etc.)  Note:  It will be side ways, but we will fix that in a moment.


4. Insert Shape with no fill.  Note: use No Outline if you don't want visible.

5. Select Scrolling Panel and Shape, right-click, Group

6. Rotate the Grouped Scrolling Panel and Shape by grabbing and turning the rotation handle.

7. Preview.  Now the Scrolling Panel can scroll horizontally.
