Resources Tab on Player

May 10, 2013

I added a custom-named tab to the player. I want to rename the tab but the edit option is greyed out when i go back in through the player tab and highlight the tab. Probably something simple, but i can't figure out how to rename the tab! Help!

Hi there Rich!

What section of the player has the custom tab? Is there a check mark next to it, on the right-hand side? 

If that check mark isn't enabled, you may not be able to use the "Edit" feature, even if the tab is selected.

If that doesn't help, are you able to share a screenshot or the .STORY file? I'd be happy to take a look.

Thanks!

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the screenshot!

Hmm. That does seem odd. This is a tab you added manually, correct? This isn't an existing tab that's been modified? I can't see the entire list, so I can't tell if there's more custom tabs or if the "Notes" tab, etc. is still in the list.

It may be an issue with the file, or the template file. Again, I'd be happy to take a look if you can post the .STORY file. If not, you might want to try importing the course into a new Storyline project and see if you're able to add and change a custom tab. 

Also, just for good measure, you may want to make sure you're working with local project files:

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

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

Thanks Rich!
