Can someone tell me how to have the Menu and glossary as tabs... so participants have to option to click on the tab to view them... currently if I add menu and glossary both are open by default so are visible throughout the e-learning (I'm using Studio 13)
I have just found a description of how to move the menu and glossary to the top bar - which gives me the selectable tabs (as required) however I noticed that when selected they open over the main slide window instead of to the side (in the side bar) is there a way of having the selectable tab, but in the side bar and not over the main slide window?
Sounds like it's working as designed. Do you still have a sidebar present in your course for another purpose? You could re-arrange the order of the items if needed.
If you add to the Top Left or Top Right, it will open over your slide as you mention.
If i put the menu and glossary in the sidebar is there a way of having them as selectable tabs and not displaying the actual menu and glossary all the time?
Hi Patricia! Not to function like you are thinking of with the top tabs. My thought was that if you had a sidebar anyway, displaying notes for instance, you could choose to display the notes by default on each slide. The users would then have to select the menu or glossary as they would be tabs behind the notes.
I have just been playing with the various options and see what you mean!... Ideally I don't want anything shown in the side bar until the user clicks on the tab... I am guessing this is not possible!
if that's the case I will just leave the Menu and glossary in the top bar

No problem Patricia. Yes, that's not going to be possible.
