Format painter not working?
My format painter never seems to work as it is supposed to.
For example. I edited an objects state (changed the colors, location, ect.) but when I chose format painter and painted on a new object all it did was add a state, but none of the visual formatting carried over.
I've never been able to get the format painter to actually copy the visual formatting of one object to another.
Can anyone tell me what exactly does the format painter copy and what will it not copy?
Hi, Megan.
Thank you for reaching out!
Do you experience this with all projects in Storyline, or is it happening in a specific one?
I'm happy to help you troubleshoot this issue: can you share a screen recording of this behavior or a .story file where this is happening? If the problem occurs in every project, I also recommend a quick repair to see if it fixes what you're experiencing:
Let me know if this works!
