Changing Scene number and sequence

Hi All,

I am a fairly new user of Storyline and wanted to know how to change re-number scenes and rearrange them. I have created scenes for slides which should come in later in the course. now when i look at the player it runs the way i want it to connect to each scene, but the Menu bar shows the scenes in the sequence they were created and not arranged. Please suggest!

Thanks!

  • Hi Emma!

    I don't know if Rebecca is still subscribed to this post so I wanted to step in and help!

    Let's start with the version you are using! If you're using Storyline 360, we are now on Update 37 (Build 3.37.21453.0) so I'd recommend making sure you're up to date if using Storyline 360. Here's how to update Storyline 360.

    Also, can you share a screenshot or screen recording of what it looks like on your end?

    I'll be here if you have any additional questions!

  • Lauren,

    Not sure if you are still looking at this thread, but it doesn't work for me either. I have the latest version of 360. It looks like the numbers have changed, but the position in Story View doesn't change. This not the biggest issue, but I would like them to line up in the proper order. I have several people working on different scenes and I need to line them up for review. Any ideas?

  • Hi there, Eric!

    I'm happy to help you troubleshoot the order!

    🗒 Quick Note: Rearranging menu items won't change the order in which slides are viewed. It only changes their sequence in the menu. To change the actual viewing order, we'll need to edit the navigation triggers in the course.

    If everything checks out with the triggers, are you comfortable with sharing the file? I can take a thorough look and report back! Simply use this private case link.

  • Here is my situation. I have several people working on each scene. AS they send them to me I review them and add or remove stuff. When I am done I send each for review. Once they have been reviewed and approved, the script gets sent for professional voice. When I get those files back I upload them to the scene and send it out for final approval. When I have all of them back and approved, I put it all together and send it for final approval. After that it gets published. 

    AS you can see from my files the numbering is out of wack and the story view is out of place. I have tried to cut and paste several times and places, but the scenes will not move.

    What am I doing wrong with this file. It has worked on other files.

  • I appreciate you sending in the file for testing, Eric!

    Confirming receipt, and I'll be in touch within the case shortly.

  • So the community can see the fix. I had to save a copy of my file in another location. Then in the original files I deleted scenes 2 through 8. Then I Imported each scene back in, in the order I wanted them. Then to check and see the if the order was changeable, I cut and pasted a scene.

    It was strange, but some how the original file was bad.

    Thanks for all the help. 

  • Hello everyone!

    Good news! Today, we just released Storyline 360 Update 67 (Build 3.67.28569.0) which included a new feature where you can easily renumber scenes in story view so they appear in the order you want.

    Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!
