How to Disable Player Tooltips
Hi,
I see that with the latest update, they have implemented Player Tooltips.
Is there a way to disable them? I can't seem to find anything that allows me to do that.
Any assistance or info re...
Hello,
me and especially my clients also want to hide the tool tips. And it's hard to explain to them why they are there now and were not earlier...
Additionaly every button has a tool tip. But the Menu/toc button is not having one. Can I add it at least somehow?
thank you, Moritz
Hi Moritz!
It sounds like you were looking for more customization over which Player Tooltips get displayed to a learner! That type of functionality isn't available in Storyline yet, but I've added your feedback to the feature report being tracked.
We'll be sure to update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap!
Thanks for reaching out!
For everybody who needs a quick solution to fix this problem. My team and I found a way to disable these tooltips through JavaScript.
const container = document.querySelector('#app-top');
container.style.display = "none";Just create an "Execute Javascript" Trigger (when the timeline starts) on the first slide of your training, this trigger only needs to be executed once.
This is a temporary work-around to disable the tool-tips until Articulate comes with a permanent solution that doesn't require Javascript. We tested it in multiple environments (e.g. Review, SCORM, etc.) and it works consistently.
Hope this helps!
Melvin, this is great! Thanks for posting.
Hi StevenBenassi,
Are there any updates regarding this feature request? Adding additional JavaScript to every Storyline training for the past 8/9 months is getting a little tiresome. Could you fix this feature and allow us to disable tooltips (either by leaving the fields blank, or by introducing a button that would allow us to do this in one click).
Looking forward to your reply.
