Hi! I am working with a pre-made template in Storyline (Drag and Drop) and can't figure out how to amend the boxes to fit my own wordings. (see attached for a copy of the template I am using)....Thanks for your help!
Have you had an opportunity to review the information here on Working with Templates? Should prove to be a very useful resource, but please let me know if you still need more help! :)
I've reviewed all of the tutuorial info but still can't seem to figure out how to amend the template so that I can add my own verbiage...(see attached document to show what part I want to edit).....Did I load the template incorrectly or something??
I just ran into the same issue as Julie. How I solved it was to retire (not use) the Normal state for the square. I created a new state (name it whatever you want). I used this new state as my initial state. Change the fill and outline just like you would any other shape. The way I am doing it, I have to create a new state for each square. There is probably a better way to handle this besides creating a new state for each square, but I haven't worked on that yet. A least this will get you by in a pinch. I attached my story file.
Thanks, Organizational Development, and if you would like to make sure that Julie sees your suggestion (as she may no longer be subscribed the the thread), you are welcome to reach out via the 'Contact Me' link on her profile page. :)
I just did that. Thanks for the reminder. These forums are really helpful. I just hope I was able to finally help someone. Do you have an idea if there is a better solution than the one I explained? Creating a new state fore each drag item seems like the long way around. With all of the great things Articulate can do, I would hope there is a cut and paste type answer to what I did.
Hi, Timothy -- You may want to review this information on How to Use and Customize a Storyline Template, and I will go ahead and defer to the community to chime in with additional suggestions. :)

Hi, Julie -- Would you possibly be able to share your .story file here so that we can take a closer look for you, please?
Good day!
