I am wondering if for storyline publishing, we have the behavior that we have with studio. i.e. when we publish we can have a toggle button that toggles between the different views - one with just the slide view, the other with the menu view.
Reason - I like to give the user the flexibility to view the menu but at the same time I want the user to see the concept in the slide only view as well.
You are absolutely right Carla. As such there are so many customizable features in the menu. But this thing that was basic in the studio is not in storyline. A feature request for this would be great!!
YMMV but, as a matter of opinion, I always hated that darn little button. Call me a control freak but I always wanted the learner locked in on what I wanted them to see or not defeat any branching or other effects I might be doing. I prefer a lean interface for the learner with the minimal of things for them to click.
I was glad Articulate finally let us make it optional with Presenter.
That said, good luck with your request--as long as it's an option.
I agree with you Gerry. There are scenarios where you don't want to give that much flexibility. However, that being said, I definitely would like to for us to have an option to include the "menu toggle button" on the player. That way things are completely in our control - when we want the user to be in control and when we do not want the user to be in control.
Actually I was typing this up, I remembered that we can actually implement menu or no menu for specific slide.
By default, each slide will include the features that you selected for the player. However, you can customize which player features appear on each slide by selecting “Custom for this slide” from the Player features drop-down list.
So using this feature I can actually kind of implement the balance of flexibility and control. Yeah...I kinda solved the problem, at least for now...:)
I mst say that I fully agree with you. I do miss the button and although the screenr shows a nice way to shown the menu for one slide it does not allow the possiblity to have a search function when downloaded to the iPad using the Mobile Player. And that is exactly what I am looking for. One can shape a training in each form that is suitable, the search function for a particluar word (or words) is very handy. I have made a feature request for this. Hope it helpes

Any thoughts on this one?
Hi Payal - I was just wondering that myself. It looks like we can do a lot with the player, but the change view option isn't one of them: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/customizing-the-player-menu.aspx
I think I will submit a feature request on that one LOL

Just submitted a feature request for the same.

Here is the portion of interest:
