Is there a shortcut to repeat the last action? In Microsoft Office, it's F4, but I haven't found anything similar in Storyline. I'd love to be able to quickly repeat formatting changes without using the toolbar each time.
While there isn't a "repeat last action" shortcut, I wonder if the format painter would achieve what you're looking to do!
Once you apply the formatting changes to an object, be sure that object is selected, then double-click the format painter. From there, click the other objects that need the formatting changes.
I wish there was a repeat last action feature as well. Format painter is good for text, and even States, but it doesn't get to all the repeatable actions I need to apply.
Thanks for letting us know the feature you’d be interested in seeing. I’d like to understand what repeatable actions you’d like to apply so that I could share a tip if applicable or get that feature request submitted for you. If you’d prefer to share your thoughts with our team directly, you can submit your feature request here.
Has this feature still not been added? I'm trying to change backgrounds for a selected number of slides (not all, so apply to all doesn't work). I'm adding a gradient, so it's multiple clicks. I can't use format painter for this, so a repeat last action feature would be nice.
I'd appreciate a staff member submitting a feature request for me (and perhaps marisa) on our behalf.
The request for this feature wasn't submitted so I did go ahead and do that on your behalf. If there's any new information on this feature, this conversation will be updated.
I appreciate you taking the time to share what you’d like to see in Storyline 360. We currently have this logged as a feature request, so I’ll go ahead and include your voice. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
Add me to the growing chorus of users who'd love to see a "repeat last action" option added. I frequently need to use the "Change Shape" option in the right-click menu, and being able to repeat that action by clicking shape -> hitting (button combo) -> clicking shape -> hitting (button combo) -> etc. would save a lot of wear and tear on my poor, delicate fingies. Thanks!

Hi Michael!

And in case you're interested, here are all of the other Storyline 360 keyboard shortcuts you can use to save time!

I agree - this would be good to have, for example if you're just simply aligning objects etc. thank you for considering this feature upgrade!

I would also like to see a "repeat last action" keyboard shortcut. I'm used to using Control + Y in most applications to do this.
