ARE THE MARKERS CRAZY OR AM I?
Mar 11, 2019

I have a Storyline 360 course in which I created two slides with markers. The markers are created correctly (black default text, white background, nothing fancy). They appear correctly while being created, but one of two things happen in preview slide and when published. It also happens occasionally in creation mode too!
1-Changes to black background and (apparently) black text. I go back in to change back and happens again.
2-So rather than work on the existing slide, I created a new slide in the same course and recreated content in new slide. Same thing.
All colors are correctly selected in creation mode...BUT ONLY ONE OF THE MARKER SLIDES BEHAVES LIKE THIS! Whoaaaaa. Trippy.
HELP!

Hi Robin,
When Storyline 360 starts misbehaving and causing you to question your sanity, I like to start with any environmental factors that could be causing it first:
Keep me posted on your results!
Hey, Ashley! It's me again. Prior to emailing you last time, I had tried the first three suggestions. Today I tried #4 with same results. Slide works correctly in separate file. Apparently it's the main file???!!!
Attached is the imported slide while still in the 'create/edit' mode. Looks great, right?
When I preview it within the original file, we're back to the black background.
Hi Robin,
Sorry this one continues to be difficult to nail down! If you're able to share a copy of your .story file here, I'm also happy to take a look. That way we can investigate any other culprits or issues that could be in this file.
You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here.
I’ll delete it when I’m done troubleshooting.
uploaded it privately, Ashley
Hi Robin,
I don't see it uploaded yet under your email used here in E-Learning Heroes, did you see the confirmation screen or receive the automated email with your case number?
Let me know and I can use that case number to track it down!
THERE WE GO!

Thank you, Robin! I've got your file open now, and I had a question about it. We can keep the conversation going in your case, if you'd like!
Sure! Do you have other questions for me? Do you have the backstory?

Hi Robin,
I saw Alyssa reached out on Friday (the file came in as I was ending my day) and asked which slide to look at, as the one mentioned didn't seem to include any markers. Did you see her email from Friday?
here's the file. as of two seconds ago, still same issue
Thanks for sending your file over, Robin! I just replied to you in your case with an updated file.
We can keep the conversation going there, if you like!
