Storyline Layers

Jun 04, 2014

Hi Storyliners

Is there a trick that can lock the layers on a slide. I find I accidentally click on one layer and it moves out of order.  I am frequently adding a number prefix to each layer so that I know where it belongs.

Can this be a new feature request - if not possible in current version of Storyline Update 5.

Hi Christine, 

You can't lock a layer - although it sounds like a good feature request. 

You can move the layers around by clicking on them and dragging them within the layer set up though. I haven't seen them move around when changing the layer title though - so it sounds like odd behavior. Can you check into the following: 

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.

Also, if this is happening on every .story file it may also be worth conducting the repair of Storyline.
