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.

This thread started 3 years ago with a user's request for help. The 'feature request' was brought into the conversation nearly a year ago. As of 6 days ago, no update to share. It seems like it's fallen into the abyss of 'feature requests' I've witnessed over the years. I've been an Articulate fan for years, but always disappointed when I see postings asking for changes and responses that thank us for the suggestions, tell us it's added to a feature request and then literally years later - nothing but something like 'it's still on our radar'. While I'm at it, when are you going to update the photos of the characters? The 80's is calling and it wants it style back - wide ties, pleated pants, hair styles and all. Sorry to be negative Articulate, like I said I've been a fan and user for years with Studio and Storyline - but stuff like this is just frustrating for those of us on the receiving end. ...or rather on the non-receiving end. My 2 cents (ok, maybe more than 2 cents)

I am going through the slides LINE by LINE and would like to add my $0.02. Make the DEFAULT 12pt! ADA does not play!

I am adding my vote to this as well. From a software dev perspective, 3 years of waiting is just ridiculous. Come on Articulate....you can do better than that.

Seem like it would be a simple feature to add. Please add my request for it. I develop a couple thousand pages a year. That's a lot of time wasted changing the font on each and every Notes page.

I'll also add my vote to the feature request but chiming in here as well so say that this really should be fixed. At the very least the default should be changed from 9 to 12. Many of us are required by law to create accessible courses and regardless of law we should all be striving for inclusion in the way we build them. It would be great to make it easy to change setting that would work for the whole course, but just changing the default to size 12 would help enormously and save a lot of time.

I will add my vote to make this feature.

Also, while this is being considered, I would love for the default font when the background is black to be a white font instead of a harder-to-read gray color.
Hi Will!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing the feedback!
We are currently tracking this request, and I've added your comments to the Feature Report! We'll update this thread if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.

is there an update to this yet? It is VERY tedious to have to change every page in every course
- LaCaraBlackCommunity Member
This is absolutely ridiculous! YEARS of pretty-pleasing and STILL... No updates yet. I don't give a darn if you "add my comments to the Feature Report," as it appears nobody cares about that just as they don't seem to care about how many times users beg for this to be changed. It makes NO SENSE that nobody there can see how important THIS FEATURE IS. We get all these tiny adjustments or changes to things that hardly matter on a frequent basis - but the ONE thing that has been requested here (again for YEARS)... NADA! You guys CLEARLY have determined a priority-level for this request that is BASS ACKWARDS. Because if anyone was appropriately measuring impact there - it wouldn't take long to figure out something that saves users 20-30 minutes per project was low-hanging golden fruit that's bound to be an instant crowd pleaser! I mean imagine - 20-30 minutes spent by thousands of users PER PROJECT just for STINKING SLIDE NOTES! I fail to see any viable reason why this hasn't been delivered by now. And on top of all that, nobody who responds seems to care about providing one. Just "nothing yet guys, but don't worry - we've added your comments." I would venture to say that it may be time to close out the ump-teen year request you've been using and open a new one that goes straight to the top of the line! I mean I'm sure your request platform has changed numerous time since the existing request was first logged. And if it hasn't, I'm sure leadership has. And if neither have changed - I'm back to no friggin reason why this hasn't been done. I mean come on guys, it shouldn't be difficult to grasp why uniformity in notes between slides is sorta important!

Here here, well said

It baffles me that the default font for Notes is still too small in size and has too little contrast in color. A lot of my time is spent overcoming the Gray Lato 9 font, going slide by slide.
I am glad that Articulate is putting so much improvement into the accessibility features of Storyline, but making the default Notes font settings changeable, or at least updating them to something better, would go a long way to improving accessibility.
