Need an input. Have imported slides from PowerPoint and by default the slides advances automatically.
I would like to change the property value as "By User". Is there any easy method to apply this all the slides in a scene rather changing each slide properties individually.
There certainly is! Simply click the first slide in the scene in Story View while holding down the "Shift" key, then click the last slide in the Scene.
This will highlight all of them, and you can then change that setting like this:
Does this not work with question slides? I've highlighted multiple questions within my question bank and it allows me to paste a trigger or adjust the slide properties, but when I click off the highlight and go to one of those that I think I just updated, it's not actually updated. I'm having to adjust slide properties on each individual question and it's very time consuming.
I know, the short answer is to do it right the first time and you'll be fine. I've only been using Storyline about a year, and I've come a long way from when I started. I'm going back into many courses and "beefing" them up, but it is painstaking when you have to make 2-3 of the same changes to each individual question and you have 40+ training courses with 10-30 questions in each course.
I can see how that adds a lot of extra work, so I tested this out to be sure. Within a Question bank view, you can't select multiple slides to change the slide properties. One option would be to move the questions out of the bank and make the changes there, highlighting them all in story view - and then re-add them to your question bank.
I came looking for a solution to this exact problem and your suggestion worked like a charm! I was not looking forward to changing 300 slides one at a time. This was a 30-second fix!
This used to work, now it does not. When I try to select the slide advances "automatically" or "By user" it will not let me select it from the drop down. I can only select each slide individually. Sometime it works, but usually doesn't. In the past I was able to select all the slides and then select "By user" and it would apply to all slides. Now it either makes me do each slide individually and sometime it won't let me change the selection and all. Frozen. Sometimes it pauses and then releases and let's me make a selection, now it won' let me change the slide advance at all. The drop down menu does not open. I would like to be able to change all at once as well like I could before. Is there a way to do that? Is this a bug? I also only let's me change each slide individually in the Full slide view. I cn not do it in storyview.
Hi there, Susan. So sorry you've hit this roadblock.
That doesn't sound right, and I'm so glad you reached out to our Support team and us! I see my teammate, Lea, recently sent you the initial troubleshooting steps to repair Storyline 360.
I'm experiencing the same issue as Susan. I just upgraded this week from Storyline 3 to Storyline 360, and this feature no longer works. It took a long time working with IT (I don't have admin rights on my work PC) to get this application installed, so the concept of having to uninstall it and reinstall it isn't something I'm willing to do because it's just too cumbersome. Is no one else on 360 experiencing this?
This has been a tough one for us to unfold since we haven't had luck recreating it. I opened a case with our Support team so we can explore tailored next steps to get your tool working right!
Look out for an email from support@articulate.com; and since you have Articulate 360 for Teams, you'll get priority support!
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know you're running into this as well! I've submitted a case on your behalf with our support engineers to lend you a hand in figuring this out.
Yes - same here. Having to uninstall and reinstall is not effective when you need to involve IT for admin rights. Lately, it has been working, but it is sporadic.

Hope that's helpful! ☺️

Hi Becky
which version of SL are you using - are you doing the change from within Storyview or Edit view?
I just figured out that I need to be in Story view. Thank you.
Very helpful and saved a lot of time!!
Thanks!
Glad that this conversation was able to help you out as well, Boyan.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
How did you create this little demo video and insert it? @Ali Goulet
Hey Valerie,
Great question! We use an application to create a .gif file (like the one that Ali posted) and then insert that file as you would with a screenshot:
I hope this helps! 😄

Hi Katie. I'm having the same issue as Sharon. I have to make the change individually. SL360 teams.
