Slide Properties Names / Slide Titles
Mar 15, 2011

Hi All,
I know that when I start my Articulate file, the slide titles automatically become the slide names in the Articulate slide properties. I know I can manually change them by going to slide properties if I want to change the name in the table of contents but not change the text in the graphic.
So when I make that manual change, I notice the name in slide properties doesn't automatically update if I later change the slide title. I can see how this might be useful, but is there a way to relink a slide properties name and PPT title after a manual name change?
Thanks!

Hello,
To get it back to the default name, go into Slide Properties, click on the navigation title, delete it, & then click the OK button. When you go back into Slide Properties, the title of the slide will now fill the navigation title.
Hi Brian, I tried to do what you suggested but I didn't see "navigation title" option in the slide property.
Now, I am having the same issue the person above posted. In my case, if I name my slide using the slide title then I can see that name is updated in the table of contents and the slide layer. But if I name my slide first on the Scene/ Table of contents (thumbnail view), then that title is updated in the slide layer but not in the Title area of the slide itself.
Is there any way I can link these fields so that the change in one of them affects the other ones?
if not, Can you recommend me a better practice? We are using the slide titles as the title that we want to have in the table of contents.
Thanks.
Hey Angela,
If you're looking to have the Slide title be the name for the Table of Contents then all you should need to do is provide Slide titles for each slide and it should update your "Navigation title". If you already went into Slide properties and modified a Navigation Title however you will need to go in and delete what you put and press okay as Brian mentions above. Here is a screenshot showing the slide properties window and where you should find the Navigation Titles. Changing the Navigation Title within the Slide Properties will not modify your Slide Title so best practice would be to not touch the Slide Properties and just make sure a Slide Title is present on each slide. Let me know if this answers your question!
Thanks
Hi
A very silly question - how do I display the above screen?
Hi Adrienne -
That's not a silly question. You can find the Slide Properties from your Articulate tab in PowerPoint. Here's what the tab looks like:
And you can find all you ever wanted to know about Slide Properties here.
Thanks for the update. Can you do this in Articulate as I have created my module in Articulate not PowerPoint?
Is this feature still available in Storyline 2.10? I'm not seeing a Properties option for slides, at least not for the slide title.
The weird thing is that some slides actually rename automatically, and some don't. I just can't find out how to control it.
Hi Philip!
You can access Slide Properties here, but it sounds like utilizing Story View may be more beneficial if you're looking at slide titles.
Hi,
In the Table of Contents, all the slides are displayed. I do not want some slides to appear in TOC. How do I hide those slides? Please advise.
Thank you,

Hello Rupali - You can hide those slides via Player Properties > Menu > Choose items > Hide via 'eye' at the bottom:
@Leslie McKerchie Hi again,
Where can I find Player Properties? I'm using Presenter v0.9. If I open the slides in PPT, I do not see the Player Properties option. Could you help understand me better?
To repeat the question -- I would like to know how to hide the slides in TOC in Articulate Presenter 09?
Ah, thanks for clarifying which product you are utilizing Rupali.
For Presenter '09, you find all of this under 'Slide Properties' and you are working with the outline tab.
Check out this tutorial for hiding slides as needed.
Hi again Leslie,
I'm working on Articulate Presenter 09. I followed your instructions, but could not hide the slides in TOC. I'm attaching the screenshots for your reference. Can you check and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong?
My second new question is:
Is it possible to remove the 'articulate' logo appearing at top-left in the Published course of presenter?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Regards,
Rupali Desai
Hello Rupali - Have you re-published your presentation for the changes to take place? Perhaps that's the last step that has not occurred yet.
As far as removing the Articulate logo, check out this tutorial for assistance.
