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.

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.

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
Thanks for following up on this request, Christine! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the Notes panel. There are no updates yet, but we'll surely keep you posted if there are any changes.

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.
- TheresaAinswortCommunity Member
Agreed, this is the simplest request. Accessibility is so important. In my industry, accessibility is required. This is a really straightforward ask. Accessibility by default is so important. In the medical profession, the first rule is do no harm. For designers that are just learning about this, they may not know the optimal minimum font size for legibility. Your company does, and could make a big difference. Please prioritize this. Help us ensure we reach our entire learner population by default.

In the event that anyone is logging the number of requests for this feature, I would also like to request either a larger default notes size or an easy way to increase the fault rather than wasting time changing it on every slide.
- KelseyKeaveney-Community Member
Checking in on this request. Would be nice to be able to change fonts for ALL notes on all slides at once. OR have the default to 12 pt rather than 9 pt.
