Free trial - I can't delete any layer

Aug 11, 2022

Hi!

 

I just started to dive into Storyline and I have a first problem. Really basic one. I can't delete any layers. The trash icon is light grey, like if it was locked. I can't press on it. When I press "delete" on the keyboard, it doesn't work. Could it be because I have a trial version? 

Thanks,

 

E.

Hi Estelle,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community! ✨

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing an issue when working with layers. I'm happy to help troubleshoot!

  • How many layers do you have? In my example, the trash can is greyed out when I select the base layer. If you select the second or third layer, are you still unable to delete those?

             

  • Are you working from your local drive? Working from a network drive can cause erratic behavior.

If you need additional assistance, please feel free to upload your project here or privately in a support case so we can investigate further! We will delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete.
