Guidelines: How do I get them BACK?

Ah, thanks so much Susan! I think your guides might have accidentally been deleted. Fortunately, it's easy to bring them back!

I recorded another Peek to show you how to do that. 😊

On a related note, I sometime insert line shapes on the Master slide and set their initial states to Hidden. When you view a slide page based on the Master you can see the grayed out guides but they won't publish. That way you don't have to worry about your guides being accidentally moved and — even better — you can have different guides for different Masters.

Yes, my guides are on. It's weird because the one vertical guide is there, but the horizontal one is gone. That means I can't adjust it, much less create more guides. I've been working in this tool a long time, but I've never seen this.

Did just one guideline disappear or are they all gone?

If all of your guides are gone, go to the View Tab and make sure the Guides checkbox in the Show section is selected.

I believe the default guides are just one horizontal one at zero and one vertical one, also at zero on the ruler. In case you were unaware you can create as many guides as you like and put there wherever you want. Just hold down the CTRL key and click and drag out from an existing guide to create a new one. Put it wherever you want.

Hi Rebecca and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Let us know how Brett's suggestions work for you and if you need anything further.

Hi Rebecca! Do you think that there is a chance that it was moved off of your viewing window? Zoom out with the scale on the bottom right, when in slide view, and see if you can tell where the guideline moved off to and move it back into your viewing window.

I've zoomed back as far as 10%. I've tried all the obvious   It's just not there. Seriously. I've closed, reopened, etc. It was based on a template with guides all over the place, so I'm mystified.

Oh well. It's just this one project, so I guess I'll either live with it until it's done, or move it over to another document--which isn't going to happen at this stage.

Note to Articulate: HOW ABOUT A RESET GUIDES SWITCH/BUTTON SOMEWHERE IN NEXT RELEASE?

That's a fabulous idea Rebecca and would make a great feature request.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this?  I have  the same problem in 360.  I have done the following:

• closed and reopened the file
• zoomed as far out as possible
• reset all of the guides and gridline options
• reset all of the guides and gridline options, then saved, closed, and reopened the file

all to no avail.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for letting us know what you've tried so far! Here's a Peek screen recording of what I see on my end. 

Would you mind recording a similar Peek so that I can see exactly what you're seeing? 

Thanks!
