I have taken on a storyline project started by another developer who has created custom tabs in the player. When I click them there is content in the tabs, but I can't find where this content is stored so I can edit it.
thanks for the reply. I am working on a MAC with Parallels Desktop - when I right click I don't get the option to see slide properties - I get the browser right click menu - this is obviously the problem. So I need to know what combination of keys to click to get the slide properties up
i don't think you are understanding me. When I click the player properties I have two custom tabs that have been set up at the top right hand side. When I left click on them I can see content in the custom tabs. When I right click them I get the browser menu with options like Zoom In / Zoom Out / Show All / Print / Settings / Global Settings . It does not give me slide properties like you showed me in the screenshot of your first reply.
If they're custom tabs, it's possible the content is on an actual slide within your course and being used as a player tab lightbox or similar? If so, then you'll need to go to those individual slides to edit the content and you can't access them through the player.
Are you looking to use the custom tabs within the player? They don't have all the same trigger options available to them as the regular trigger panel - so you can't change the state of an object/variable just based on clicking on the player tab.

HI wendy, go to player=>Features and here you can change it
you can right click on the slide and then move to properties then can also change it from here
you can edit the data by going into the Blue highlighted boxes in the picture
maybe this could help more

Thanks guys - found it!
Is it possible to show/hide a "slide master" element/text box by creating a custom tab button?
Hi Tanmay,
