Hi there, Kalyani! Welcome to Articulate. 💙

The most common reason for those options to be grayed out is if you are in Story View, which gives you a high-level look at all of the slides in your course. Double-click your first slide to open it in Slide View, and start building!

Let me know if that's not quite right.

Hi Kalyani,

It sounds like you want to insert a new slide in the middle of a video. Here's an easy way to do that!

  • Duplicate the video slide – now you'll have 2 slides with the same video on it.
  • On the first slide, trim off the second half of the video. 
  • On the second slide, trim off the first half of the video.
  • Between the first and second slide, add a new slide. 

Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
