Anyway to remove Menu in Preview
Oct 10, 2012

I have not yet Published my training (I am working on the free trial, so I don't know if I should publish or not, and if so, to where?).
My quesiton is: I don't like the fact that students can cheat and use the menu to skip sections of the training, can even go to the end. Is this something that is not available to the students once the training is Published? Or, is it always an option. If it is an option, can it be turned off (and how?)?
Thanks again for all of the help I've gotten!

Julie,
You can completely remove the menu, or lock it down. This is all done in the player area. Click home tab, player.
Then you can deselect the menu option. (this will remove the menu completely).
If you'd like it present, but locked down, in this same area, click the menu button at the top. And then the gear icon.
You'll find options to lockdown the nav.

The menu will not go away! No matter what I deselect the menu is there taking up space.
I had to right click on the slide and select properties and deslect Menu there...
I have unticked menu from both Enage player and Presenter player. Stil the mnu appears in the published output.
Any suggestions please.
Hi Raveendran and welcome to E-Learning Heroes
Here are the directions for the Presenter Menu, but it sounds like you have already taken care of this.
Be sure that you do not have a custom player on one of your slides:
Hi Raveendran and welcome to Heroes!
You'll also want to check that you didn't set any custom player settings on individual slides, as those will override what you set in the Player properties for all slides.
Thank you
In Storyline 2 I de-selected Menu in the Player. When I published for HTML5 and view the course in my laptop, the Menu does not appear. When I view it in my tablet, the Menu still appears. Any advice? Thanks!
Hi Linda,
What browser or tablet are you using to view the HTML5 output? You'll want to make sure you're viewing in one of the supported options here.
If you'd like, we're also happy to take a look - could you share the .story file with us here?
Thank you for your response!
I'm using an iPad Air.
I am just starting to learn to develop for mobile.
Here is the storyline file I am using for testing.
Thanks!

Hi Linda,
You certainly can share it here in the forum thread - please know that it'll be public for anyone else in the community. If you need to share privately, you can send along to me here.
I am trying different things in the course.
I really appreciate your responses!
I will continue this conversation if I need to pursue it further.
Thank you again!!!
Sounds great Linda :) Thanks for the update.
I do have a question.
When I publish, I am not publishing for Articulate Mobile Player.
I am publishing for use on an iPad Air.
I believe this is what I need to do as shown below.

Then, when I get this, I want to zip it. However, I am not sure what the HTML 5 option below does for me. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Linda!
Looks like you are replying to the forums via e-mail, which does not allow your images to come through and does attach your signature.
Can you pop into the forums and edit your response so that I can see what you are asking about?
Attached are the screen shots relating to my questions.
When I publish for use on iPad Air, not using Articulate Mobile Player, I believe I only need to check for HTML 5, correct?
Then after publishing, I see as an option HTML5 image as shown in attachment. Please advise what this option will do for me. Thank you!
Hi Linda!
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, seems like you are publishing correctly and here is the details on the HTML5 button you see in the Publish Successful Window:

Hi, Just on the back of this.
I am just starting to get to grips with the mobile aspects of e-learning creation and was wondering if it is possible to remove the black bar that appears when viewing my projects on mobile devices? It is where the menu items would appear however I didn't want a menu (so removed it).
I am viewing the project from the Articulate 360 review feature using an iPhone 6s with Safari.
Any ideas?
I'm happy to point you in the right direction, David! Since you're viewing the project from Articulate Review using an iPhone, I'm not sure what black bar you're seeing. Could you take a screenshot from your phone and attach it in a new thread comment?
How can I get rid of the Black menu bar? (See attached)
I have removed the menu already but when viewing in Articulate review on an iPhone 6s.
Hi David,
I didn't see a menu in your image example, are you referring to the top/bottom black bars? It looks like the slide is displaying as expected - allowing the width to be respected and then not stretching to fit the entire height, hence the black bars you're seeing.
If you'd still like us to take a look we're happy too. Can you share a link to the course and a copy of your .story file with us? If you'd prefer to share privately you can also send it along to our Support Engineers here.
Ah ok, fair enough - it must be as intended then :)
The black bar I meant was on the right side of the image (from top to bottom). I expected a full screen view without that bar as I had removed the menu. No problem!
Thanks for the reply.
Hi David,
Thanks for clarifying what you were looking at. The side bar on the right shouldn't be there if you'd removed all player elements such as the menu, seekbar, prev/next buttons, etc. If you have left any of those items on a singular slide we'll leave space for it throughout the course - and that would explain what you're seeing on this image.
If you've removed all those items on every slide and are still seeing this, then it's definitely something I'd like to take a look at. Can you share your .story file with us?
