Notes carry over from previous slide

Sep 02, 2014

We are localizing a Storyline course into several languages. The modules include some title slides that have no narration, so there is nothing in the Notes field. In the Japanese version--and Japanese only, so far--the notes from the previous slide appear in the Notes filed on each of those title slides. Other languages have been fine. Anyone have an idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,

Joe

Hello Joe,

Please make sure your project files are located on your local hard drive (typically your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior.

Also, make your directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters. (for example C:\Articulate) Using special characters, symbols or accents may cause issues with the file itself.

If you find that some slides in your published course show duplicated text in the Notes tab when both the following criteria are true:

  • The slides with duplicated notes shouldn't have any notes at all (i.e., the Notes panel is blank for those slides in the Articulate Storyline editor).
  • You're viewing HTML5 output.

This is a known issue. To avoid it, add notes to every slide in your course—even if it's just a single space.

Please let us know if you need anything further.
