I have a new challenge for you all. Currently I am creating courses for a new software program.
We show students a step-by-step procedure and want them to reproduce the steps later on. Now, if I use the recordings of the steps to make a step-by-step Test the correct item in a drop down list will be highlighted.
This way the student will always know what drop down item is correct.
Can anyone tell me how to delete the highlight in the drop down menu?
Hi Chris. I noticed this as well when doing some step by step software demos. You might be able to remove some of them by fine tuning the start or stop times on the video, but it is very fussy work.
Drop-down menu highlights reveal themselves before being clicked in all view, try, & test modes.
The workaround I came up with involves exporting a frame from before the hover appears and then inserting that image over the recording in the timeline. This extra step adds time to production.
Has there been any effort to improve this 'glitch'? Do any of my fellow production people have a less tedious workaround?
Would prefer a response that doesn't include a tutorial link on using Storyline Articulate. Something I can use to explain why it happens on the next call with client.
Hi Megan! This thread is a bit dated and I see where you previously worked with Ashley here on this issue. Did you reach out to support to assist you with this issue previously? I'm not seeing a support case for you so that I can follow up on your reporting of this issue.
No, that is a different issue and the project is long over. The step-by-steps weren't matching what was in the recording. I am sorry I never followed up.
The issue I am talking about here is when the highlight in a drop-down menu appears before being clicked.
Hi Megan! Thanks for the clarification. I'm having trouble visualizing what you are reporting, but it sounds as if it may be similar to this. Let me know if that solution assists you.
Leslie, YES, that is what I was looking for. Thank you!
I have all my files open here, so will try this out now. I have used the Action Fine Tuning for other stuff, but didn't occur to me that it would work on drop-down menu highlights. DUH

Hello Chris,
Have you tried using some of the different options available when inserting a screen recording? (view, try, test)
