hyperlink in Notes in Storyline

Hi,

So a client would like to be able to click a link inside the transcript notes, under the Notes Tab in the player.  I'm not talking about what's on the main screen, but what's under the Notes tab section on the sidebar.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,

Rob

    Hi Rob.

    Welcome to E-Learning Heroes Community.

    It's not possible to make a hyperlink active in the Notes tab section because the texts are being published as an image.

    Please see: Hyperlinks in the notes panel. I hope this helps.

      Why / how is the text from Notes being published at all? The Notes section is to assist designers, not trainers like in PowerPoint. This feature would be awesome. Imagine being able to link directly to training videos for other designers right in the notes section?

        The Notes section is not solely to assist designers. If it was, then there would be no reason to make the Notes visible to the student (via the Player setting).

        One of our partners uses Notes to include the transcript of what the narrator is saying. That way, if what they are saying is not on the screen, a deaf or HoH person can still consume the content.

        We are looking at using Notes for photo attributions, since that's usually info that isn't important, but must be available. That's actually what brought me to this page, as some of our attributions require hyperlinks, so we may have to drop back and punt.

  • Hi Rick,

    Being able to link directly to other resources in the notes section sounds like a great idea for a feature request! You can submit one here. If the request makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll make sure to update you in this conversation!

    Thanks for reaching out!
