View Modes in Articulate Presenter '13

That should have read: Is there a way to provide view modes in Articulate Presenter '13 and Articulate Studio '13 like those in Articulate Presenter '09 or Articulate Studio '09?

Hi Mike!

View modes—Standard, No sidebar, and Slide only—are no longer supported. However, you can customize which player features appear on each slide in your course. For example, you can display the course menu on some slides and remove it from others. See Managing Slide Properties to learn how.

I have a related problem: first time using Articulate again since the upgrade to Presenter '13 I notice the above, but what is worse, the size of the online course is much smaller than it was with '09, and I don't find a way to fix this. The video's I am making for user instructions are quite useless now because of the small end result.  What am I doing wrong? Pse advise.

Hi Jan and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

Without seeing what you are working with, it's hard to tell. I can share some information that may be beneficial to you though.

You could change your presentation size and/or browser settings and player size in Presenter '13.

HI Jan & Mike,

Leslie suggested that customers post a feature request to their developers to have the view modes restored in 2013. We are seriously considering going back to '09 unless this feature is restored. We have software simulations and demos that we built in Adobe Captivate, and they are now too small to easily view since the sidebar can not be removed as before in '09.

Also - while '13 allows you to turn off the notes, Menu, presenter, etc.it does  NOT let you remove the Logo. What they need is to allow you to turn off all these sidebar items and close the sidebar since it would be empty in that case. But as it stands now, the Logo can't be removed on a slide-by-slide basis.

I hope there is enough customer "out cry" that this feature is restored in a update.

Hello all!  Took a while since my post on this topic. Apologies for not answering earlier, but in the meantime we have standardized to Articulate Storyline 2 for all e-learning projects, and using the advanced settings, full screen works fine! Also the other Storyline functionality is amazing. Now a very happy user!

Thanks for popping in with an update and sharing with everyone Jan :)
