change default font on Notes section?
Hi. Is there a way to change the default font for the Notes tab of the player? If so, how. Thanks in advance!
Hello all!
Good news! In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), you can now instantly update the formatting of all slide notes in your project.
From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!
If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team in a support case.
Jumping on the bandwagon, here. I'd like to see this feature come to fruition after THREE years of asking for it. And knowing a thing or two about software, this can't be a particularly difficult thing to implement.
I would also like to add my vote to this feature - global change of font and font size for Notes! This would be really useful and timesaving.
Is there also a way to change the Notes font SIZE in the player? I notice it defaults to 9.
And another vote to make the Notes section default size 12 pts!! In Canada we will soon have a law to that requires all courses to be accessible.
Right now we make the Notes section visible and call it "Transcript" so learners can read along if they want to. I understand CC does that as well but this is a quick fix for our current courses.
As a side comment - The Notes section (and other things) is so finicky, and when making changes manually it constantly crashes forcing me to save after every slide change... also a huge ongoing issue for years. Updates don't seem to fix the instability of Storyline.
Thanks!
I would love for this global ability for notes screen as well. I have to change the notes font from 10 to 12 on 242 slides right now :(
I have seen questions going back 10 years on this, and it was indicated a decade ago that this was on the features update list. This is an absolute time-waster for designers. My current project has about 700 slides and I have to touch each one of them in the notes section. I truly have better things to do.
Hi Rhonda!
Although this isn't a default setting, it's simple to change the font size for the Slide Notes! Whichever font size you choose will be displayed in the Notes section of the Player.
Here's what that looks like:
Thank you, I am aware that I can change it on each slide, but my project has 100 plus slides, so I was hoping to avoid manually changing every slide. I think I'll just decide to be happy with the default 9pt size ;).
I would like to change all notes font to a certain font and color at once in Articulate 360...How do I do that?
Hi Kipp,
The Notes are treated as a separate and distinct element for each slide, but we have a feature request for a Notes Master/global formatting option.
I've added this conversation to our report. I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests, which may be helpful.
Has this global formatting enhancement to slide notes been rolled out yet? Seems like such basic thing to provide users.
Another vote for making the default Notes font size globally adjustable, vs. slide-by-slide. The default size (9 pt) creates accessibility issues.
If allowing us to customize that setting globally is more of a long-term project for your engineers, perhaps a short-term enhancement would be to set the Notes default at 12 pt in the next update?
Thanks for keeping accessibility in mind -- it's much appreciated!
