Slides not showing up in Menu
Aug 31, 2012

Why do some of my slides not show up in the menu?
I have a drag and drop and it has a "results" slide that it goes to when the action is complete. I say "results" because it isn't an actual SL results slide, just a slide I made for the user to go to when the drag and drop is complete.
The slides before and after the drag-drop/result pair show in the menu, but neither of the drag-drop/result pair show.
Ideally I would like one entry.

I found this: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/customizing-the-player-menu.aspx
So I can add it back using the Player > Menu > Insert from project.
But I know I didn't go into the menu to remove it in the first place. So why did it just disappear on me in the first place?
Hi R,
Have you tried resetting the menu?
Thank you. I did find that tutorial (in my link) on how to fix it. But I still don't know why or how it went missing.
That part scares me that it could happen when I don't expect it. Any ideas on that?
Did you ever figure out why your slides disappeared? It happened to me the other day and I cannot figure it out.
Hi Mark,
I'm not sure what happened in R's case, but sometimes things break. It can happen if the file became corrupted, if the file was modified or being modified on an external source (other than on your hard drive). There's really no way to pinpoint it sometimes.
Were you able to restore your menu items using the link that Peter posted earlier?
Also, it's a good idea to make sure that you're following the suggestions below when working with files:
Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.
Let us know if you still have trouble with your slides showing up.
Thanks!

Hi there Christine, I'm still having this problem. I have one particular slide which is not inserted into the menu when resetting nor can I "insert it from project".
When I insert it from project it shows in the menu preview, but when I save it is lost again.
any ideas?
Hi Rodrigo!
This thread is a bit dated and Christine does not make it back to the forums often.
Would you be able to share your .story file for us to take a look? Just let us know the problematic slide :)
Hi there Leslie.
I was able to solve it. It was a results slide.
I just created a new slide and everything went back to normal.
best
I appreciate you popping back in to share Rodrigo and glad to hear that you were able to reach resolution.
