Changing Object IDs to Make Morph Work

Hello OrganizationSta,

Great to hear you’re exploring morph transitions in Storyline 360. It’s an exciting new feature, especially for fans of PowerPoint’s Morph!

You’re absolutely right that morphing requires the same object ID across both slides. In Storyline, though, those IDs are assigned automatically and can’t be edited manually like you might expect. Matching names on the timeline or using “!!” (like in PowerPoint) unfortunately won’t make a difference here.

To get Morph working with text boxes, try duplicating the slide that contains the text box you want to morph. Then, make sure the text box is in the same position on both slides. Finally, apply the Morph transition to the second slide.

If the issue continues, let me know. You can also connect with us privately in a support case if you’d like more targeted help.
