Can't edit Layer Properties
Hi,
I seem to be having issues accessing the "properties" under layers. It used to work just fine but know when I try to open that to make edits to a layer nothing opens up. I've tried right clicking the layer and selecting properties and I've tried going to the layer then selecting the gear in the bottom right to no avail.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm using Storyline 3.
Hope everyone is doing well,
Andrew

As an FYI for folks who are having this issue in the future: I had a dual monitor setup and for some reason it would show for a fragment of a second on the second monitor and disappear. Rebooting computer, quick repair, and uninstall reinstall was not working for me.
The way I was able to fix:
- Disable my second display
- Close Storyline Project
- Open Storyline Project
- Open up layer properties (It worked!)
- Enable my second screen again

Thank you, this helped me today too. I thought i had a corrupt file since one SL file was showing the properties box in the layers and one was not (I had two SL windows open). But once I disabled the second monitor and rebooted, all is well. Thanks for the tip!
Hey Andrew!
Could it be that the Slide Layer Properties window was dragged offscreen at one point? Simply closing Storyline 3 and reopening should bring that window back.
If that doesn't work, try a doing a quick repair on Storyline 3. Let me know if that solves it!
Thanks, Jason for sharing those tips here! This discussion is a bit older, but I'm certain they'll help someone else.

Thanks Jason! Have ran into this a few times. Frustrating that after 3 years this still hasn't been resolved!
