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!

This would be such a huge timesaver. For accessibility, we include a written transcript of our modules in the notes panel so one of the current tedious tasks on every project is making the notes panel legible. The other problem we have is that when these are imported from PowerPoint, the notes invariably come in as black text over a black background. So another task we must perform is changing all the notes text to white text.
Ugh, yes. Exactly why I posted this almost 2 years ago (8 years before other users posts with the same ask)… and still nothing, not even their canned response saying they have taken the issue to their programing team. So frustrating!
For your transcript, my work around is making the player background “light” instead of dark, and in the section where you can customize the words in the player, I change the “notes” text to “TRANSCRIPT”. Then check that tab in the player.
It’s brutal. In January 2025 (Canada) we have to be legally accessible across the board. The default 9pts and grey font is not compliant to accessibility.
Come on Articulate – do better. This should have been done way before you started playing with the Beta AI stuff.

I don't think companies realize that all these announcements about incorporating AI are infuriating when users feel there is low-hanging fruit (like improving the ability to format Notes text) that would make a bigger difference in solving their current issues. It just gives the impression that marketing is dictating the dev plan.
I second that! I really can't understand why this is such a hard task to
implement. I am not a coder or developer but maybe it is as simple as
changing the font size number from 9px to 12px. Just thinking out loud :)
