forward, it is always recommended to include this trigger instead of the "Timeline ends

courses on the same domain. This feature is commonly used to host courses that are separate
from your primary course or ones that don’t require tracking and participation.

on your own website or network.

Learning Management System (LMS), or both. Storyline 360 supports cmi5, Tin Can API, SCORM

narration do you need to add? As the saying goes, “less is more.” Streamline your content before

by adding only those things that are necessary and will keep the audience engaged.
