Storyline 2 | Player customisation

You can change the change the names of the existing tabs, and you can move the resources link to a tab. Can you make one of the existing tabs do what you want?

You can also add some links to the top of the player. That is about it though. Can you provide more detail about what you want to do?

Hi Chandru!

In addition to the four built-in tabs in Storyline, you can also add tabs of your own. Custom tabs can display additional slide content or trigger an action (e.g., exit course). Here's how to add a custom player tab:

1. Click Add (the icon that looks like a blank piece of paper) below the list of player tabs.
2. When the Trigger Wizard appears, fill out the following fields:
   • Name: Enter a name for the tab as you want it to appear in your published course.
   • Align: Use this drop-down to choose where to display the tab. Choose Topbar Left or Topbar Right.
   • Action: Use this drop-down (and the contextual fields that follow) to define what should happen when learners click your custom tab. For example, if you want to display content in a lightbox, select Lightbox slide, then choose the slide you want to lightbox. To learn more about triggers, see this tutorial.
3. When you're finished, click OK.

Hi Leslie,

You can add tabs, but you can't add them to the side panel. The add tab feature only lets you add them to the top.

Good catch Dave - totally missed the need to have that in the sidebar ;)
