Under Playertemplates>Player Controls you want to make sure "Change view mode" is selected.
Also make sure that under Player Templates>Layout that you have any of the views you want available selected as well (There are three choices, slide only, no sidebar (as in the play/pause/seekbar etc are visable but the navigation panel isn't) and standard. Now by clicking the "change view mode" button in the lower right corner the user will be able to show/hide the navigation menu (if you don't want them to also be able to show/hide the navigation panel, de-select "slide-only view)

Hi Bryan! I just wanted to pop in and say that you can also use the Contact Me button on Lou's profile to contact him directly! Thanks for stopping in to the forums. :)
Bryan, These are instructions on how to allow the user make the Menu show and hide in Storyline 2.
1. From the Home tab select the Player icon to edit the player properties.
2. From the Player Tabs window scroll down to the Sidebar listing and click on Menu.
3. Just below the Player Tabs window at the lower left are two up/down arrows.
4. Click the up arrow until the Menu heading is under the "Topbar Left" heading.
5. Click "OK" at the lower right of the screen and that's it! The Menu button is now a Tab in the upper left of the screen that the user may show or hide with one click.
Are you using Storyline or Presenter? I ask because this thread is in the Presenter forum, but Lou just shared steps for Storyline 2. You could follow the same steps in Presenter to include it at the top of the player and you'll find those details here.

Hope that helps.

I know it's been a while but do you want the user to be able to hide and show the menu? I know of a way. Let me know.

Thanks Lou,
Such a simple solution but I did not notice the arrows there before!
Ashley, I was referring to Storyline 2.
Once again the elearning heroes come up trumps!
