How do I add Resources?

Mar 05, 2013

When in preview, I see the Resources link and I want to add content within Resources. I can't find out where in Storyline I access the Resources section to add URL's and documents. There's a lot of discussion about various resources, but I don't see a tutorial or forum on where I would go to add these. Please help. Thanks!

Hi Anne,

Just open the Player from the Home ribbon. When it's open you'll see a "resources" link at the top toward the left (with the paper clip icon). When you do that it will change the window in the Player Properties to say "Click here to start adding resources...". Do that and it will open another small window where you can add URLs and documents.

Same question but using PowerPoint/Presenter and Engage. How do I delete the Resources button and how do I add Resources?

Sharon,

Gerry's link shows how to add Resources.

To remove the Resources tab, go into the Player in the Home Ribbon, and then uncheck Resources.

Hi Sharon! Here's a tutorial on removing the Resources tab from the player, and here's another on how to add resources. I hope this is helpful, and please reach out if you think of any other questions!

I have a customized player where all of the default player elements are not visible. For controls I've added my own previous, next and pause buttons. Now I'd like to add resources so I added another button labeled Resources but don't see a way to modify the trigger for it to open the resources tab.

Hey Tom,

Great question! Since you're using custom buttons on your slide, you won't be able to trigger the player resources tab to open, but what you can do is trigger a lightbox slide to open when the button is clicked. Triggering resources to be displayed in a lightbox causes whichever slide you choose to appear in a box over the current slide. In other words, the learner won't lose his or her place in the course if they want to open the resources lightbox.

Here's an example of Using Lightbox Slides as Course Resources in Articulate Storyline, in case you're interested. :)

Ack! Got a new laptop and IT installed the Articulate Suite. However, when I go to Player the only tab I have is Properties and the ONLY choices under that are Layout, Custom, Player. Did IT miss something?
