Red "x" through layers panel...how to fix?

Apr 04, 2018

I'm seeing a weird issue in Storyline 3 and I haven't found any existing discussions about it. Attached are two images showing that I am successfully creating new layers, but I'm unable to see them in the layers panel at the bottom right of the screen; you'll see in the images that the layers pane is crossed out with a big red "x," as though disabled. I need to be able to see the layer in which I'm working. How do I fix this?

I have to imagine this has a simple solution, but I can't seem to find one...so I thought I'd throw this out there. I've looked through all my settings and can't find an option to enable this pane. Please help ASAP.

Hi, Rick. Sorry you've come across that red X!

Let's tackle this together:

  1. I would first try to import the slides into a new Storyline project.
  2. If that doesn't help, follow these steps for a simple repair
