Missing multiple choice options

Mar 11, 2021

Please help. I was playing around with my Storyline -- my manager asked me to get the slides to fit the screen -- and I messed up my project. The multiple choice options are missing on several of my slides and some slides changed fonts and no the content no longer fits right on the slides. I tried to undo everything I did but it did not help. Will I have to recreate the slides that are missing and messed up? On top of that, I never did figure out how to make the slides fit the screen -- there is so much white space around the slide. It looks like the slides could be bigger.

Thank you.

I just realized that the words appear as I hover over where they should be. How did I do that and how do I get them back? :)

Same thing happened to the words on my tabs (vision template). You can't see the words unless you hover over the tabs. That isn't what I want. I have no idea what I did to make that do that.

Now I just realized that I have missing slide layers! They still show in the story view, but they are missing on the slide view. The base layer is the only one in the right side panel. What the heck did I do?!?!

Hi, Sheri,

Since you see something on Hover, my best guess is that the text in the Normal state is the same color as the background. So trying adjusting the text color.

It's impossible to troubleshoot the other issues without seeing the file. If you upload it, someone might be able to help.

Hi Judy, thanks for responding. I don't have states for the tab names or the multiple choice answers. They were all looking great until I was playing around trying to get the slides to take up more room, less white space, when viewing the course.

How do I upload for you all to see course?

Every new post includes the option to add an attachment.

TIPS:

If you upload a large file, be sure to indicate exactly which slide is causing the problem.
If you're concerned about sharing too much, make a copy of the file, delete everything except the slides that aren't working, and then upload that.
Explain how the original was set up and/or is supposed to work, the actions taken that introduced the error, and any other details that might be helpful for troubleshooting.
If you haven't already done so, be sure to give meaningful names to the objects on the slide, so whoever does the troubleshooting doesn't have to spend time trying to figure out what's what.
