Piano di maturità dell'accessibilità di Storyline 360
Last updated: March 17, 2026
At Articulate, we’re committed to continuously improving our products so you can create accessible training for all learners. Storyline 360 includes features that help authors create training that aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA requirements and other internationally recognized accessibility standards.
For detailed conformance information, review our Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), also known as a VPAT®.
This accessibility maturity plan provides transparency into our ongoing work. It highlights completed enhancements, outlines known accessibility gaps, and shares current status and available workarounds where possible. We update this page regularly so you can track progress and plan your own accessibility efforts with confidence.
