Trigger and slide layer panel missing

Nov 29, 2013

Hello

I've just updated Articulate Storyline and now when I want to work on a project, the panels on the right hand side of the window - triggers and slide layers - have disappeared and there seems to be no way to get them back.  I need to work on some pages urgently.  Has anyone else had this issue and is there a solution to it?

Thanks

Hi Robin, this happens all the time. I've asked Articulate to put in a more obvious way to open and close this panel but so far no luck.

To get the panel back you have to put your mouse on the right (inside) edge of the application as shown in the picture

Your mouse cursor will change to move arrow. Use this cursor to drag the edge back over to the left. It is a little tricky to do so just keep trying. It is easiest to do this at the bottom of the application.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for answers Nancy.  I've tried this without success.  I'll keep trying, but all I'm getting is a small hatched area and the move arrow moves but doesn't pick anything up.  The weird thing is that when I open old projects the right hand panels have disappeared also.

Has anyone got any other suggestions?  I even tried downloading a new version of articulate and clicking on repair but still no change,

Phew....

Managed to grab it and get it.  You're right Nancy it really isn't that easy.

Thanks for the assistance


Sorry I wasn't following this thread. I'm glad you managed to get it open. I really hope that Articulate addresses this at some point - maybe by adding a clickable arrow to collapse and open the panel. I think every Storyline user has suffered through this at least once.

Hi Angelique,

Sorry to hear you're unable to access your slide layer panel! If going to the View tab, and clicking Redock All Windows doesn't help, try restarting Storyline 360 or even repairing it to see if a fresh copy gets that panel back.

If you still find yourself hitting a roadblock after repairing, connect with our support engineers, and they'll get you back up and running!
