Exploring the Editor

The media panel editor has three columns with the following panels:

Steps	Located on the left side of the screen, this panel is used to manage steps for your interaction.
Text	Located in the middle of the screen, this panel is used to add text to each step.
Audio	Located in the upper right corner of the editor, this panel is used to add and edit audio.
Media	Located in the lower right corner, this panel is used to add pictures, characters, and videos.

Here are some tips for working with the editor:

Change the width of a column by dragging its boundary with your mouse.
Click the triangle in the upper right corner of the audio panel to collapse it if you need more room to work with the media panel. Click it again to reopen the panel.

Adding Steps to Your Interaction

To add a step to your media panel interaction, do any of the following:

Press Ctrl+M.
Go to the Media Panel tab on the ribbon and click Add Step.
Click the Create a new step button in the lower left corner of the Steps panel.
Click the Duplicate button at the bottom of the Steps panel to copy the currently selected step(s).

New steps get added just below the step that's currently selected in the Steps panel—unless the summary is selected, in which case new steps get added above it.

Tip: A media panel interaction can have up to 100 steps (not counting the introduction and summary).

Renaming Steps

To rename a step, do either of the following:

Double-click the step in the Steps panel to open it for editing. Type the new name and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Select the step in the Steps panel, then type the new name in the title field at the top of the text panel.

Tip: You can rename the introduction or summary in the same way.

Rearranging Steps

To change the order of steps, select one or more steps in the Steps panel, then do any of the following:

Drag them to a new location in the list. An orange line will move with your mouse to indicate where the steps will be dropped when your mouse button is released.
Go to the Media Panel tab on the ribbon, click Move Step, then select Up or Down.
Use the Up and Down arrows at the bottom of the Steps panel.

Tip: The introduction and summary can't be moved.
