Hidden Developer Notes
When I create courses in Canvas for higher ed, I create a hidden page for Faculty Notes that is unpublished that students can't see. I'm finding when I go back to Storyline courses that I created a w...
Hi JeanMarrapodi-c! In my Storyline projects, I create a separate scene for design and branding notes, which I hide from the menu to ensure it's not visible in the course. Alternatively, you can place a text box "off stage" (outside the slide area) for developer notes on specific slides. Just remember to hide the text box in the accessibility settings.
Besides using the "Notes" panel, I've left notes for myself a couple ways:
- Add a bright-red, off-slide shape with a short note.
- Add a "DevNotes" layer to a slide (which, of course, is never triggered to show), and put the info there.
- Add a "Storage" scene with the slide(s) that explain the programming. If the built-in Menu is shown in the course, be sure this scene is removed from the Menu. (BTW, I also use a "Storage" scene for any slides to be lightboxed, plus any other slides I might want to keep handy for a while.)
FYI: Keep in mind that this text would be exported for translation along with the actual course content.
