In Studio 09 there was a button in the bottom right corner of the player (made up of 4 arrows) that allowed the user to change the view of the player. ie removing the menu and resizing. I don't see that option in Storyline is there a way to do that manually through a button and a trigger?
Has anyone come up with any kind of workaround with variables, etc. to accomplish this? I'm building out a module that is primarily functioning as a video player, with some annotations and links popping up from time to time, and I'd really like to give the viewers the option to hide/show the menu sidebar at will. Of course, I know there are ways I could hide the sidebar permanently and include the outline and notes in a separate layer or lightbox or something, but I'd really like the viewer to be able to see the full screen video and the notes/TOC at the same time if they want, but hide them if desired.
You can easily add the functions that the sidebar offers (Menu, Notes, Search, etc) as persistent or slide specific menu items to the Top left or Top right under the course title, and remove the sidebar entirely. This gives more screen real-estate and still offers all the functions.
If you enable any of the four built-in Storyline tabs (Menu, Resources, Glossary, or Notes), by default these will appear for all slides in your course. But if you want to show some of these tabs only when learners are viewing certain slides that's okay—you can do that. To learn how, check out the Slide Properties tutorial.

User does not have control in Storyline in the same way they did with Presenter.
I too would love to have this control brought back.

That is what I would like to do for the quiz (remove the sidebar) but I can't locate anyway to make the player slide specific. Can you advise?
