Page Layout Thumbnails Not Appearing

Apr 09, 2018

Over the last few days, I have been periodically unable to see the thumbnails of page layouts. When I right-click a slide and select Select Layout, I see a generic version of each layout option. (See attached)

 

I thought this was a resource issue on my system, but maxing out my memory to 16 gig did not help. I am running Storyline 3 on Windows 10. Restarting Storyline usually helps, and if that does not, rebooting my system does.

 

Has anyone seen this issue?

Hi there, Sue! I'm really sorry that you're running into that behavior, and I'm happy lend a hand! A few questions to start:

  • Can I confirm that you're working locally? Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, such as file corruption, an inability to save changes, and loss of resources.
  • Is this happening with only one .story file, or with other files as well? If you see this behavior on multiple files, we might recommend to conduct a simple repair of Storyline 3 – if you haven't already ☺️
  • Can you share what happens next after clicking on one of those layouts?
  • Lastly, would you be able to send us one of your .story files for testing? You can add it as a comment clicking on Add Attachment below, or you can share it privately here.

I'll be standing by!
