I have watched the videos in Lynda.com and I know how to use PowerPoint. I am trying to reorder my slides. I just closed my project file and reopened it. The slides in Storyview were out of order. I tried to reorder by clicking and dragging and when the arrow appeared and released the slide in that location but it reverted back to the original spot ???
I looked quickly through the tutorial you linked but did not see the "reset" feature. Can you narrow it down for me. I have been experiencing a number of issues. Some of which I'm sure may be related to my computer settings and some because of ignorance to new software.
I apologize Daniela! It was not in that tutorial, but is in this one.
Resetting Your Menu to Reflect the Slide Titles in Your Course If you make some changes to your menu and then decide that you want to reset the menu back to what it was originally (reflecting the original slide titles of your course), you can click the Reset From Story button:
I took a look at your file, and I'm able to drag them around in story view and drop in a new location. Was there a particular order you were trying to place them in that didn't work?
I don't know why this happens and I am beginning to feel stupid. I have watched the videos and am quite comfortable with PPT in reordering slides. I click on the slide and when I see the arrow in the location I want, I release the mouse. It does not replace the location of the slide??? Is there a setting? Is it a browser issue? The only way it works is if I cut and paste. BUT, when I close the file and reopen it, the triggers show unassigned and then I try to fix the triggers and the slides go out of order again.
No need to feel stupid - I may not be understanding the behavior you're seeing or how you're trying to move them. I don't have a way to tap into your screen, but if you'd like to connect with us here there is an option to record the behavior of your screen and show us what you're seeing.

Hi Daniela!
Perhaps this tutorial will assist you in understanding how to rearrange those slides.
Hi Leslie.
I know how to reorder but when I close the file and reopen it, they are rearranged in Storyview.

It also messes up my left panel where all the slide links appear. I will print screen and attach

Sounds great Daniela! Did you look at using the "reset from story" feature in the article I shared?

The thing is that I didn't purposely change the order, Storyline2 changed it. See my attachment above for the sequence of events.

Hi Daniela! I do not think you are doing anything wrong, but the triggers will change how the slides are presented.
My tabs are in a certain order and when I apply the triggers, they are in the same order?
Now I previewed it and two of the tabs on the first slide do not appear? See the attachment (same one as above). I added to it.

Would you be able to share your .story file for me to take a look?

Sure. I sent it via email
Daniela
Did you get it Leslie?
Daniela
Where did you send the file Daniela? Privately to our support? I'm not seeing it. Did you receive a case number?
It's in the forum and I sent it as a reply to the email.
Regards,
Daniela
I'll resend as it had my name in the link. Sorry, doing too many things at one time. Watching lynda.com also.

Here is the .story file. I realized the tempshare would not help here.

Is there someone that can tap into my screen to see what is happening. It's all out of order every time I try something.
