Hello all!
Good news! In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), you can now instantly update the formatting of all slide notes in your project.
From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!
If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team in a support case.

New project, same problem.
This time I've been given a PowerPoint to make into a Storyline project. Some of the PPT notes had copy. As a result, script copy pasted into those slide's notes are now unlinked from the rest of the project and have to be individually found and manually corrected to the smaller, less legible default text. Alternatively, I can go into all 99 slides and update them manually.
Wow. Initial request made over 11 years ago and still cannot change the font on all slides in a project at one time. What a disappointment! This is so frustrating, especially on really large projects.
New project, same problem.
I have 38 slides which need to be hand-edited. I did not pick font-size 9, and the previous developer decided to change the font type and size on some, but not all, slides.
38 times I have to select a font. 38 times I have to set a font size. 38 times I have to change paragraph spacing. 38 times I have to add space after a paragraph.
I know your pain. 😭 Was over 100 slides in my project. Same reason - updating someone else's work.
WHY won't Articulate put this as a priority CR? Articulate, please, we ALL want/need this functionality!

Hi Pierre and Angela,
I understand how this can be frustrating. I tested this on a sample Storyline project to see if using the Format Painter can be a possible workaround, but that functionality is not available with the Notes pane.
You'll be one of the first to know once this feature makes it to our roadmap. Again, my apologies for the trouble this has caused in your workflow!
Hello Susan!
I'm sorry, but we cannot estimate a timeline for this feature request due to factors like complexity, breadth, and engineering's current workload. However, we can commit to keeping this discussion open to let you know if we are about to release it.
Also, just a quick note that replying via email includes your signature here, so you are welcome to edit the post and remove that information if you wish.
What would be a significant help is if text styles were available in the notes section, and would automatically update when changes were made to the style. We could also use more than 1 "hyperlink" style. A holistic review of that mechanism would be the optimal answer.
That is ok, I understand, but this functionality has been requested for many years now. Thank you.
Best,

Hi Susan!
Just wanted to share that part of your e-mail signature came through when you replied via e-mail. You can remove that if needed by clicking ‘Edit’ beneath your response.
Definitely need more than one hyper;ink style
Please add this function to globally change the Notes text!
Oh good, Articulate will soon release Articulate AI with video! Now we too can have uncanny rubber people lecture at our learners. Learners definitely won't notice, especially as training loads increase to fill workers' time for the validation of management. I'm so excited to know anybody will be able to craft an interactivity, and I trust management to rely on their employees with actual knowledge of learning theory rather than just doing it themselves.
Meanwhile, globally changing the notes is not possible.
Feature request +1 for the function to globally change the Notes text style - font, size, color etc. Thanks!

Y'all are wonderful!
You set it up to work with styles! Hooray! This is so refreshing. Now I can build a process into my workflow so reduce issues in the future. I can experiment with ways to quickly address courses poorly built by my predecessors. I love it!
Hi Pierre!
Thank you for sharing the feedback! So glad to hear you are as excited about this feature as we are!
Have a great rest of your week!
