Creating a new Quick Style?
The defined quick styles are nice, but I have spent some time creating different designs. With that, I was hoping I could save the formatting and stylings I create as a quick style or such. Is this available? This would be great if it is not currently available. Then the new design could be set as the default.
For now I have to create the style I want and save them to a separate slide I make with just style elements. Then I have to go to that slide, use the format painter, and apply it to new items...or copy and paste the items. Not unbearable at all.

Hey Michael,
What you're describing is a popular feature request. Feel free to add your voice
It appears this is a feature request by many from over 5 years ago. Why hasn't the feature been created yet?
I would like to know the answer to that, too!!
Thanks. Submitted.
I agree! What a pain this is having to go to each and every slide to format or copy. I'm submitting as well.
This is one train i'm jumping on!
New user - just today. This feature is available in Captivate - please add it to Articulate 360:o)
Just an Fyi...If there is a main style, for example, I'm using a call-out, you can right-click on it and "Set as default shape". The next time you insert that same call-out design, it will default to your style.
Hope this helps...
Happy learning:o)
Thanks Terri for sharing here and welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community!
It sounds like you're using the "set as default shape" in Storyline, but you're looking for a little bit more? I don't have a lot of experience with Captivate (aka none) but if you want to share a bit more details about what you've been used to and how this helps your design process that'll help our Product team as they look into new features!
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the welcome and the interest!
A little context: Yesterday I downloaded the Articulate 360 for trial
before purchase. I'm diving right in by attempting to re-create my current
Captivate project in Storyline 360.Re. Create new style: In Cp, I could customize my callouts, shapes,
text/hint captions and so forth by setting the properties as desired, then
saving the set up as a newly created style - which I could name. This was
not limited, so I could have several shape styles. Anytime, I could insert
a shape etc. and in one click select and apply my choice of created styles
to it.Questions for you please:
How do I insert a transparent, clickable shape that when clicked, opens a
hyperlink to a URL in a new window?Also, how can I ensure that clickable objects, buttons etc. in my course
display a hand cursor (on hover) and make no click sound when clicked?I followed the directions outlined in this article
https://articulate.com/support/article/how-to-add-a-youtube-video-sl2 to
insert a YouTube video web object filling a single slide. Tested the link
in the web object dialog box, and it opened and played perfectly; however,
when I published, the white slide was presented. No video. Any ideas?Terri
A global change feature would be nice for items such as text, transition, animation...that type of thing. Captivate has had the global change feature for YEARS.
Hi there Kathy!
We always love to hear more ways in which we can look at improving Storyline, so thanks for sharing your idea for a global change feature. You're also welcome to tell our Product team more about the feature and how you'd like it to function in the form of a feature request.
