I just want to confirm, I cannot edit my slide numbers, right? I'm not talking about labels, I mean the 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, ... numbers. (see attachment) I understand I can rearrange their order by going to Player>Menu. When I go there, I don't find all my slides!!
I'd also like to know if I can manage how slides display in Story View. I have more than 40 slides and the view is really WIDE. Groups of only 4 or 5 are together. The groups are randomly distributed across the display, not in order.
You're correct in saying that you can't adjust the slide numbers. If you add an extra slide in the middle somewhere, all of the following numbers will change. The best solution I've found is what you've done already: to clearly name each slide.
In terms of rearranging the way slides appear, you're pretty limited there too. Have you tried using different scenes? Whenever I'm dealing with a bit course, I'll put each section in its own scene and collapse the scenes I'm not working on.
when you go to Player > Menu you can reset the menu you see to match the slides in your story file by selecting the Reset from Story icon in the bottom right hand corner of the Menu tab.
Thank you for the feedback. I suppose I could have organized my chapters as scenes but it would be a lot of extra work at this point. I'll try to keep that in mind for my next project of this type.

Hi Davy,
This tutorial discusses the option that Wendy mentioned in terms of resetting the menu to match your story, and I also wanted to link to the information here in regards to how the story view is laid out.
Hope that helps!
