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!
I have over a hundred slides that we need to update the font and size in Notes sections and it is ridiculous that we have to update this slide by slides. It has been over 3 years and yet its still not on the roadmap.
Beside all the good things about Storyline, just because of this one thing, I'm disappointed, annoyed, frustrate with Storyline now.
I hope this feature will make it to the roadmap soon!
I also had this question, but for the modern player. I am able to access the Advanced Editing option when using the classic player, but do not see that option for the modern player. Is there another way to update the color of notes in the modern player?
Example: Imported a PPT into SL360. The notes are written in black text in the PPT. I am using the Dark Modern Player, which turns the notes section black so now I cannot see the text. I have to manually highlight the text on each slide and change it to white. As a workaround, I have been switching to the Light Modern player during development, but eventually have to switch to dark and change all the notes to white.
I find that whatever I do in the Notes section below the slide seems to translate to the notes panel so I don't have that issue that was previously mentioned by some.
I have the same issues as the above people. I have to change the font color and size in the Dark Modern. I hope attention will be given to this issue (soon). Thank you.
I also would like to have the option of editing the notes pane text all at once. I'm updating an 11-module series right now and will have to update every one of the hundreds of slides individually. :(
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.
and here we are 5 years on from the first request and still nothing. I despair when my SME's are incapable of setting a default font and size for notes in PowerPoint so I have to go through 100+ slides fixing every. single. one.
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.

Hi Kelli!
Great question! We don't have multiple color options for the Modern Player. The two options are Light and Dark.
We are still tracking customer impact for this feature request When we have an update from our product team, we'll let you know in this discussion.
Underlining the request for the ability to globally set the font family, size, and color for Notes.
I have the same issues as the above people. I have to change the font color and size in the Dark Modern. I hope attention will be given to this issue (soon). Thank you.
Same! Hours of time spent changing Notes panel font size slide by slide by slide by slide. :-(

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.

Is this fixed yet? Very time consuming having to go through each slide to change font size and color. Please make it happen!
I'm adding my vote for this. It is my number 1 time-waster with SL360.
I'd like to add my vote to get this feature moved up in the roadmap please

Voting for this as well... Not sure why we can't have this, but it would be extremely helpful, both for us developers and our clients.
+ 1 for a global way to change the color and font size of Notes in the player.

This is SO very frustrating! It doesn't seem like a complicated request. I do NOT understand why they don't act on it.
Has been updated since the last post?
