Story Line Background

Jan 07, 2016

Hi all,  I'm practicing on a demo story line project of someone else before I start and I cant seem to figure out how they have set up the background of certain slides, its not a picture nor a layout or background setting. You cant click on it now does it appear in the timeline, what could it be?

on another note in the timeline there is a feature called screencast I have yet to see this term in the tutorials what does it mean?

Thanks xxx

Hi Megan!

Perhaps they placed this on the slide master.

Slide masters in Articulate Storyline are very similar to slide masters in Microsoft PowerPoint. Use them to control the default themes, colors, fonts, text, and objects for slides throughout your course. They're big time savers, letting you apply the same look and feel across multiple slides all at once. See this tutorial to learn more.

As far as the screencast: To learn all about recording, inserting, editing, exporting, and deleting screencasts in Articulate Storyline, see the tutorials listed here.

It can be hard to pull apart a file to understand all the pieces at times, so just let us know if you need anything further.
