I am new to Articulate Storyline and working on a E-Learning Module. Currently using the recoding function to creat the module on view mode.
How can I add text to the existing slides once Articulate Storyline breaks it up into slides? I need to add a confidential disclaimer required by my legal department to all the existing slides.
Check out View -> Slide Master and play around to see if it meets your needs. Objects and triggers on a Layout Slide apply to ALL slides using that layout, and objects and triggers on a Master Slide apply to ALL slides using a Layout under that Master.
If you're creating screen recordings slides that will be inserted as a step by step on each slide, you can add any other elements such as objects, shapes, text, etc. to the individual slides themselves. With step-by-step recordings, the segments are actually applied to thebackground of your slide. So, you can still apply a Master slide to a step-by-step recording slide. However, keep in mind that if you have content in that Master it will appear over the recording.
For example, say you have a shape in the middle of your Master slide. If you apply that Master to the slide, that shape will appear in the middle of your recording slide and over the middle of your recording.
To enable the Master for a specific slide, right-click on the slide and select "Layout". From the drop-down menu that expands, choose the layout you'd like to use.
Thank you Ashley. I at least now know that this is possible on slides created by step-by-step recordings. Unfortunately, the Master layout and footnote did not apply to the slide. I followed the steps you descirbed and the only thing that appeared are the text boxes associated with the Master slide, but not the template of the Master Slide I choose or the confidential disclaimer. Can you help me trouble shoot?

Hi Lazaro and welcome to Heroes!

Hi Lazaro,
Do you have a .story file you could share with us here - a few screens of your screen recording and the master slides you've set up?
