Storyline 2 preview function, hotspots and importing
Sep 26, 2014
I just installed Storyline 2 yesterday and am finding that it takes much much longer to preview a slide or a scene. Is this a bug?
Also, when I imported my Storyline 1 modules, unfortunately the player settings and fonts changed throughout on each slide, e.g. all my customized buttons suddenly had shadowing. It took me 2 hours to redo everything. Is there another solution when importing to avoid this?
And I also noticed the Insert Hotspot is no longer in the toolbar, and after googling I read that you now have to insert a new hotspot interaction slide in order to be able to create hotspots. In Storyline 1 it was so practical to be able to just insert them wherever needed. Is this still available in Storyline 2?
Thanks for your help!

HI Allison,
I can't speak to the first question (I'll have to test it), but if you shouldn't be finding things getting mucked up. If you continue to see this behavior, please file a bug report so our team can take a look.
As for the Hotspots, you can find them in the controls area (see image below). No need to add a hotspot interaction. The author of the article you found may have been trying to quickly get something to publish without actually playing with the software. I've seen a fair amount of that lately! Could you share the article you found? I'd love to see it.
Have fun!

I don't know how I missed that one! It was right there! Thanks!
The only thing I found was this: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/hotspot-questions-in-articulate-storyline-2.aspx explaining how to use the hotspot interaction, but it mentioned nothing about this shortcut.
Thanks again! Very much appreciated.
