opening slides in new tabs

Hi John:

Are you sure you were not opening those slides from the main View screen?

This is the only way I know I have ever opened slides in a new tab.

Best Regards,

Dennis Hall

Hi Dennis,

I'm on the main view screen, where you have the timeline, the layers panel on the left, and the scene panel on the right. When I click on a slide in the scene panel, the tab that has the opened slide changes to the slide I clicked on in the scene panel, instead of opening that slide in a new tab.

Any thoughts on how to fix this. I usually have multiple tabs open to go back and forth between related slides.

Thank you,

John

To open a slide in a new tab, open it from the Story View by double clicking the slide. If you open it from within the Slide View, it will open in the same tab.

Something is wrong with Storyline -- the layouts on every slide just changed, one by one without me doing anything.

Hi John,

I'm not sure what happened - but is it only happening on this one file? Can you confirm that you're following along with the guidelines here for working with Storyline:

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
• You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.

If it's just this one file, I'd suggest importing it into a new project as described here.

If this issue seems to be occurring on all your Storyline files, please first confirm you're using update 6 released last week and then I'd also suggest conducting the repair detailed here.
