Notes font color

I imported a PowerPoint slideshow into Storyline to build out an eLearning. I am using the modern player and that is where the problem starts. The font color of the notes is the same color. It doesn't matter if I switch from a dark to light player, the color will change to match that player background. The course has over 70 slides and the only way to change it appears to modify each slide. However, when I make any other player changes, the color of the notes reverts back to match the player's background. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Hello Nicole!

Good news! In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), you can now instantly update the formatting of all slide notes in your project.

From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!

Hi Luciana,

I do want to mention this did not occur with the last PowerPoint presentation I imported about two months ago --everything came over correctly. I also want to add that today when I made audio and animation edits and saved the presentation, all of the notes reverted back to black font on the black background.
