Is there a way to edit font size & color of the notes throughout a project in Storyline 360?
Hello!
Is there a way to edit font size & color of the notes throughout a project in Storyline 360? As I understand, this is one of the promised features for Storyline 360, but I cannot find a way to do it. Please help. Thank you!

Hello all!
If you're still subscribed to this discussion, I wanted to share that the feature mentioned has been released! 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.
I cannot believe with all the other bells and whistles Storyline has that customers are still having to go slide by slide to update the Notes! I am so disappointed. Storyline is suppose to save me time. This has cost me a lot of time. It's mainly due to having to do things slide by slide. My PowerPoint slides are not importing correctly so they are not absorbing the Master Slide layout so I'm having to add a new slide, add layout and then copy and paste each slide and then have to redo all the text and then have to redo the timing as well. This is not what I expected from Storyline.
Just to reiterate, I'm wanting to vote to get the Notes changeable over the entire file.
Thank you for listening!
Same! Hours of time spent changing Notes panel font size slide by slide by slide by slide. :-(
Hi there. The original requestor's post was a staggering 5 years ago. This continues to be an issue, as this thread shows. Any updates on this years-old roadmap item?
Exactly! 5 years ago. That shows that it's not on their long range plan for upgrades and likely not even worth considering.
I'm so sorry for the confusion, Lu. That was my mistake. Currently all of the notes editing can be done in Slide View on a slide-by-slide basis, but I definitely understand how the ability to make global changes would make life easier. That's a popular request here in ELH, and I'll be glad to bring the idea back up to the team. 🙂
Hi Alyssa, Any progress on applying the Notes formatting globally for Storyline 3 (not just 360)? I exported for translation with white text, but when I import the translated text with the same formatting as the output, it applies a black text throughout. I am doing this for 21 languages...would not prefer slide-by-slide formatting. :)
Yes, this addition would be helpful, if it hasn't already been made. Changing the notes formatting on a slide by slide basis has been quite cumbersome.
Thank you!
Even the format painter is grayed out!
WHYYYYY?!!!! <she yelled theatrically while flailing her arms toward the sky>
Please add my +1 to the list of people begging for this feature....
I agree! Having a global notes editor would make life much easier. Excited for this enhancement when the time comes.
I, too, am having trouble understanding why in the modern player I have to change the text color in Notes slide by slide. This needed feature should be a the top of the roadmap.
Just adding my voice to the chorus to be able to edit notes for the entire presentation and then save that setting for future presentations. Perhaps it is worth noting that a default size of 9 is too small for most people. I would be ok with 11 or 12.
Come on. Please Articulate. This has been requested literally YEARS ago. It is a simple change that would make life better for everyone - particularly those who do the authoring. Having to change the font size on a slide by slide basis is just plain not user-friendly.
Being able to change the Notes font and font color globally in the Modern Player is a no brainer. I can't imagine why this features isn't already available.
