I have a main menu that links to 4 scenes. In the storyline view they appear out of order from left to right. I want to re-order them so they start in order from the left side to the right side. I thought re-ordering the triggers on the menu slide might do it, but you can't re-order them. The up/dn arrows stay greyed out and I can't seem to drag the scenes around to re-arrange the order. Any ideas?
Sorry, that doesn't seem to work. If I cut and paste or simply remove the menu triggers, the scenes all fall back into the same order. Its weird... without triggers, they appear in order, as soon as they are linked, they are backwards. It would be nice to be able to just "drag" them into the correct viewing order.
Its not confusing at all... it just doesn't seem to work in the Storyline 2 file. The link example you specified shows the process in Storyline 1 (which probably works ok), not Storyline 2.
I tried both options and each time I re-link the menu options to the scenes they plot on screen out of sequence - always backwards. Weird because once you remove the triggers, they appear on screen in the proper order. If you want a look, I can send it to you.
Ok, After some experimenting, it appears there is something odd with my file set up. I was able to create a new, blank set up it and it works fine. For some reason my particular file is behaving abnormally. Let me know if I can post for you to check out.
Yes, I did that too. There is something funky being carried over from my old slides. I don't think it will affect the course, its just a visual development thing for me.

Hi Bob
In Story View you need to cut a scene and then paste it into the position you want - they will then be renumbered. Just backup first before you do it.

Hi Bob,
I know a lot of users have shared that the set up in Story view can be confusing, and have found the description here helpful.

Hello Bob!
You may want to try and import the file into a new file and see if this corrects the issue for you if you are not able to recreate this in a new file.
Yes, I did that too. There is something funky being carried over from my old slides. I don't think it will affect the course, its just a visual development thing for me.
Thanks for all the help.
Ok, thanks for sharing Bob.
If you do see this happen again, I would suggest running the repair of Storyline.
