I find the slide sorter view in Powerpoint super helpful when trying to see the big picture and making sure the whole layout and training is cohesive and flows smoothly. Does Storyline have this view and I just don't see it? If not, why not? It really should be, IMO.
As Michael says this the the way to view slides in Storyline there is not another method, what are you looking for because I find Story view to give me much more information than the slide sorter
I want to see many slides on one page large enough so that I know if I need to reorder the content to make more sense, be more fluid. I story view, I can only see slides very small a few at a time and changing order is not as easy.
You can enlarge them using the magnifier on the right hand side, but that will likely not get what you are looking for.
To be fair to storyline you wouldn't use font sizes the size you share in the image so even in a PPT size sorter I think the text would be too small to read.
I'm not editing slides this way, I'm determining flow of content, so slides are big enough for me to know what's on them, but correct, I'm not editing them in that view.
Sorry I didn't mean to edit them, I meant that in PPT you will use much larger fonts than you should in storyline so the slide sorter works well in PPT. Typically my body text will be 12-14 pmts and would not be legible in the PPT sorter.
You should be able to increase the slide size using the magnifier but it will be a lot of scrolling

The 'big picture view' in Storyline is Story View. See some info here.
Michael the story view is not helpful to me. I cannot see all the slides the way I want to (slide sorter mode in powerpoint).

Hey Meg!
The magnifier Phil mentioned is in the lower-right corner of the window in Story View. Here's a quick demo to show you how it works.
