What performance issues exist with Storyline blocks?
dominKnow | ONE
Performance issues with Storyline blocks may occur when loading them within your dominKnow | ONE course. However, many designs that previously required Storyline can now be recreated using dominKnow | ONE’s native responsive design, improving performance, accessibility, and overall user experience.
Rise
Authors often need to rely on Storyline blocks to provide the type of design needed. However this provides a complete secondary course structure and materials which makes loading time noticeably slower. Storyline blocks are also non responsive, so the design may not work on smaller devices.
Storyline blocks result in scroll bar issues. How can that be resolved?
dominKnow | ONE
If you experience scroll bar issues with embedded Storyline blocks, you can adjust the CSS for scroll bars at the theme level. However, in most cases, these issues can be avoided by rebuilding the design using dominKnow | ONE’s native responsive format, which ensures better performance, accessibility, and seamless integration.
Rise
When using Storyline blocks, the scroll bar will change on preview and publish into a smaller scroll bar with no up and down arrows. There is no resolution.
Can images be positioned in unique spots, such as below a title?
dominKnow | ONE
Yes, you have extensive layout controls that allow you to position images anywhere, including below a title or within other content areas. You can also embed images within text blocks, enabling text to wrap around them for a more dynamic and visually appealing design.
Rise
No, you are very restricted to where and how you can position many elements such as images with their relationship to other block elements on the page.
Can a certificate of completion be provided to learners?
dominKnow | ONE
Yes, certificates of completion are available as standard master pages and can be customized to fit your unique needs. They automatically include key completion details, and authors can modify the design and content as needed. Since certificates are reusable, they help ensure consistency and efficiency across your team’s courses.
Rise

Are page backgrounds and various parallax effects available?
dominKnow | ONE

Sections offer multiple background and color options, along with height controls for smooth transitions between content areas. Additionally, you can choose from over a dozen parallax effects to create dynamic, engaging designs.

Can custom progress bars be added to courses?
dominKnow | ONE
Yes, you can create a custom progress bar using built-in options and assign a system or custom variable to track progress.

This flexibility enhances learner engagement by providing clear visual indicators of progress, improving motivation and course navigation.
Rise
No, unless using manual images/items to display progress.
Can a PowerPoint be imported and transformed into the start of a course?
dominKnow | ONE
Yes, you can import a PowerPoint to start a course. While PowerPoint files cannot be imported into the responsive Flow option, they can be brought into dominKnow | ONE as a Claro course, which maintains a traditional fixed-pixel design similar to PowerPoint. This allows for an easy transition from slide-based content to an interactive course format.

Can visual transitions be added to background sections to help each section standout?
