Storyline Scenes Panel

Thank you.  I do understand how to change the size of the slide isons in the scenes in Story View, but what I am taking about is the Scenes panel in the Slide View (the panel on the left of the displayed slide).  For me those icons are extremely tiny and there is no equivalent zoom slider as you see in Story View or for the slide itself.

Have you maximized the width of the panel?

Sometimes my slide icons will just randomly go tiny...undocking and redocking the panel will then correct the issue.

Thank you Craig!  Maximizing the width of the panel seems to have reset things to a reasonable size (even if I narrow the panel again).  Much appreciated.

Good to hear.

Somewhat related, I get a similar issue with icon size in Story View occasionally, and the slider will just zoom the window in/out without affecting the actual icon size. Only way to resolve is exiting out of Storyline 2 entirely and re-opening the file.

I have the same problem. However, maximising the width of the panel hasn't fixed the issue. Neither has playing around with the zoom. Nor has exiting the application and starting up again. All my projects have the same issue now when all of it was fine before. Any other suggestions?

Hi Jason! Would you be able to share a screen shot of where you are having the issue since you mention that none of the solutions above are assisting. 

Thanks, Leslie. Here's an example. Initially, I thought the icons in the scenes panels had been rendered tiny because the project I am working on had a lots of slides some of which had branching as well. But in this project there are only a few slides and the icons are still tiny.  I'm using Storyline 2. As I mentioned in my first post, these icons used to be bigger across all projects.

Here is a screenshot from me.  Nothing I have ever done, or been advised to do, more than temporarily corrects this problem, which has been there as long as I have had Storyline (i.e. Day 1).

Hi Jason and Neil! That is very helpful. 

So, two options:

1. You can hit CTRL + Scroll up on mouse to zoom back in on the view.

2. Undock the view, then re-dock to set to default.

Hi
CTRL + Scroll up on mouse worked for me :)

It seems to happen to me that the side panel view slides goes tiny when I'm in basic messing about development mode and so none of the slides are linked. 

Glad this was able to assist you as well Sarah :)

CTRL + Scroll up worked for me! Explains why it went tiny in the first place - I'd been doing a fair bit with moving things around and must have inadvertently shrunk the icons.

Undocking and re-docking had no effect, however.

Thanks for your help, Leslie.

Glad that you were able to get this sorted Jason. Thanks for the update :)

This still doesn't work for me. I do the Ctrl+scroll thing and the thumbnails are readable, then I dock/undock. The very next time touch the vertical scroll bar to resize it, they return to mini size. Docking/undocking doesn't set a default. Is there another way to set the default so it sticks? It also goes back to mini size when I'm switching out of Slide Master view. Really annoying.

Hi Lerissa!

I'm not sure of how big or how your course is set up, but to a point, this is handled automatically. If your scenes are big, this may be expected. 

If you have a .story file that you would like us to take a look at, please feel free to share.

Thanks, Leslie! CTRL + Scroll up  works perfectly!

thanks so much , CTRL + scroll up worked for me too.  magic stuff.

Glad that this was able to assist you as well Angela :) Not magic, but useful for sure.

I have the same problem. I tried the "CTRL + Scroll up" and maximizing the width of the panel hasn't fixed the issue. I tried the "Undock / Dock"... nothing. Even when I exit the Storyline and starting up again, all my projects have the same issue now.  Any other suggestions?

Hi Thomas!

Looks like you may have some branching that could be causing this. 

Do you experience the same issue in other courses or is it just this one causing issue?

Control Scroll up worked for me too, thanks :-)

Glad to hear it Michelle! Older threads are still helpful for sure. Thanks for popping in to share.

Slightly related to that... sometimes i get 2 columns of mini-slides ! I like that... How do i get that on demand ?

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for the image. It looks like the slide in the far right column has no triggers associated with it, so it's going to display on it's own. 

Hope that helps and let us know if you need anything else!
