Adding scroll bar to an almost built slide

Jun 13, 2016

Hello,

I am building an eLearning course and each chapter has a video, a recall board and a test. Our recall board are high points of information from the video for the user to review. Each recall board slide graphic layout are the same. I took a production still, put a white color over it and added an opacity. I then created a light grey box and added opacity as well, and at box is where all the fonting of information would go. 80 percent through building the recall slide, I noticed I needed a scroll bar because the information was building up. Is it too late to add it? Does it need to be added before the fonting was done? We don't like using another slide to full full the information. We like to use one slide. Please also note that I created a next button at the bottom of the screen for the user to select next after they have reviewed the recall slide and to move forward to a quiz. 

Thanks everybody,

Joe C

I have tried this and even watching the tutorials, it did not work. So my text are actually topics on the left side of the screen, that work as buttons. You click the text button and on the right, the layer of information for that topic appears. I'm trying to have the text buttons scroll, since I have a lot of topics. I inserted and resized the scrolling panel over the text buttons. The scroll is the top layer of my timeline. How do I drag all the text buttons into the scroll panel, if I have already created over the text buttons?

The individual text boxes are the size of the word. Each bullet is its own individual text box. The large box around the text is the scroll panel. I selected all the texts in the timeline, and I moved them together to the other side of the slide. I created the scroll panel and then I dragged the individual text font at the same time into the scroll panel. Nothing seems to work.
