Is there a way to edit font size & color of the notes throughout a project in Storyline 360?

Hello Alyssa,

Thank you for your prompt reply. Can you please clarify is this will update all the note on an already-develop project? Meaning, if this will update all the notes that I already have on the project or not.

Thank you!

Hi Aaron!

If you change the font color within the Player settings, it will update all of the notes in your project, including the notes you already created. Let me know if you have any further questions!

I changed the percentage size of the Player Font from 100% to 110% (and also 125%) in the Player in an attempt to increase the size of the text in the Notes tab across the course. While this did update the size of the font on the player and in the Menu, it did not impact the Notes tab. That appears to be staying at a 9pt font size. We've had many people comment that a size of 9 pt is too small to read, which requires us to change the size on each slide from the Home tab.  Is this the expected functionality. I am using Storyline 360.  Thank you!

Hi Lu,

The notes formatting can be changed on a slide by slide basis - you'll see a bit more about that in this tutorial. 

Let us know if you need other help!

Thank you Ashley. I've been aware how to do this on a slide-by-slide basis. But Alyssa had mentioned that this could be done in the Player. Being able to change this at the top level would be very helpful. We'll continue managing this as we have.

Thanks

Lu

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. 🙂

Thanks so much Alyssa!

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. :) 

Well Stephen,

I think you've actually identified a bug. I'm getting this written up and reported to my team.

Seems that post import, you can no longer change the color of the Notes font and it is stuck at black.

I was able to re-create this issue in both SL360 and SL3.

I wanted to share some information on how we define bugs and how we tackle them when they occur.

I'll attach this thread as well so that we can update you when we can.

Thanks for the explanation Stephen!

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!

Thanks Cassandra - and we'll keep you posted on the global notes feature if it's rolled out to Storyline! 

Any, update on how soon this Global Notes editing feature  will be included in Storyline 360?

Hi SibaPrasad,

This feature hasn't bubbled up to the top of our roadmap yet, but we're still listening to the feedback!  Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.

Once we have any additional info to share we'll post here in the discussion. 

I need the global notes font change too!

Hi Chantal,

You're in the right place to be notified of any updates we have to share on this feature.

Thanks for chiming in to share.

If feedback is what spurs change, many of us here at Amazon would love this global notes edit feature!

I'd also like this feature. 

This feature would be great for the Modern player in 360!  I change it in the classic player but then when i switch to the modern player the font color in the notes section changes!  Its going to be really annoying to manually change each screen's note font color.   

One of the many reasons why a stylesheet-like feature in Storyline would be a fantastic add, IMVHO.  :)

Aaarrrgghhh

Hi Leslie, 

I see that this post is from 2 years ago. Has any fix been found for this bug? 

I'm converting close to 50 global trainings to Storyline and had to import from powerpoint. I want to use the Modern Player and Dark Theme. 

But all notes have been imported in black text and am unable to change the color of notes except by going slide by slide and selecting and changing color. 

Did Articulate Team ever find a solution for this?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi Ruchika,

Thanks for following up, and I'm sorry you have to go slide-by-slide to format the notes!

This feature hasn't made it to the top of our roadmap, but I'll be sure to add your plus one to the report. Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.

I'd like to add my +1 here for seeing this on the roadmap soon. It's very time consuming to do slide by slide.

Thanks.

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!
