Story size - Different sizes on the slides in the same course

Sep 09, 2019

Hi,

I have managed to get slides in different sizes in the same project (see attached image) and I don't know how. I wish for all the slides to be the same size, the smaller which is standard. The course is set to 4:3.

Also, when reviwe the quiz to see the questions I got wrong, the bigger slide is now normal size and when I hover over it, it flickers between the bigger size and the smaller size.

Does anyone know how to get them all back to the same size?

Hi Helene, 

Thank you for sharing what you are experiencing and for providing that screenshot! Let's see if we can get you on the right path here. 😄

From the Story View, if you navigate to Design >> Then click on Story Size >> what are the current settings being used for your Story Size? Is the Lock Aspect Ratio box checked?

I do want to mention as well that the player feature does add some width and height to the published size.

Quick question. I'm looking for the opposite of what the user is asking above. Instead of fixing slides of different sizes, I want to have one slide in the course with a different size. 

Use case: Storyline interaction imported into a Rise course that offers learners a chance to think through how they will construct a product pitch. Learners are asked five questions, one question per slide. They type their answers in a text entry box on each slide. I use variables (I already know how to do this) to collect their answers onto a single slide (slide 6) and give them a Print button so they can print or PDF their answers to be used later during a Capstone exercise.

I'd like slides 1-5 to be standard 16:9 layout. I'd like slide 6 to be approximately letter/A4 size. 

But I can't figure out how to change the size of one slide without changing all the other slides. Can you help?

Hello Tony, 

Happy to help!

Would you mind sharing a copy of your project file that has slides of different sizes here or through a support case so I can take a look at how it was designed and built? Normally, having slides with different sizes isn't possible since the Slide Size setting affects all slides. I'm curious to see how this was done on your project file!

Too funny! No worries, Tony! Always great to hear what creative designs our community is working on! 

Were you able to get things sorted out with the slide sizes? If you are still having trouble, feel free to share your .story file in this thread or privately in a support case!

Have a great start to your week! 🎉
