Hi! Apologies if this is answered elsewhere in the forum, but I couldn't find it and was spending too much time looking. In Storyline, is it possible to globally change the font in all my slides' Notes tab without changing what's on the body of the slides themselves? I imported a PPT file and based on forum tutorials, I knew my fonts might come in a bit wonky--which they did. I'm just hoping there's a quick an easy way of cleaning them up rather than going to each Notes tab of each slide individually for each of my three modules. Does creating a Theme include the ability to specify the font/sizing for the Notes tab? I didn't see the Notes tab mentioned in the Theme instructions, but maybe I missed that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all! Good news! In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), you can now instantly update the formatting of all slide notes in your project. From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app! If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team in a support case.

In Storyline can you globally change the font in Notes tabs only?

Can't believe this hasn't been addressed in 7 years! Would be a great feature, i would think this is something that could be done with a Theme or on the Master Slides. Then when you apply a master/layout it takes care of it.

Hi, just popping by again to say that 8 years on it remains insane that this feature doesn't exist.

Hey, Brian! Thanks so much for your note. This is definitely something that I think needs to be high on your features request list (along with more flexible bullet point options). Since text in the Notes field serves as the easiest approach to CC text, I think it's important that we be able to format Notes globally, both standalone, and as part of a Theme. Doing it slide by slide can become time consuming.

I would gladly submit this request, but I'm one of those people who has been getting only error messages when trying to submit feature requests. I reported that situation to Gabe a week or so ago. Has that site been resolved? It gets rather frustrating repeatedly attempting submissions that don't get past an error message. If it's been fixed, then I'll try again first chance I have.

Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

In Storyline 360, you have the option to format notes just like slide text in Storyline using the font and paragraph options on the Home tab, including:

Font face

Font size

Bold

Italic

Underline

Font color

Bullets

Numbering

Alignment

You can also globally set the font face of Notes via the Player Settings. Whatever font you select as a Player Font will be also applied to slide notes, unless you change the font at the slide-level.

I hope that helps!

  What I am still looking for, and do not see 5+ years later now in Storyline 360, is this: the ability to go to a single place and globally format my Notes text across all my slides in a Storyline file. I know I can manually format a single Note's text using the ribbon, and that I can change the overall Player font (but not size!) within the Player options (apparently only if the font in the Notes is still Articulate's default?). But when I import from a PPT file, for example, text in the Notes can come in the wrong font, wrong size, etc. I want to be able to clean up the formatting of all my Notes--including the font size (because the default of 9 point is tiny!)--from one place. If there was simply a place in Preferences somewhere to set my Notes font, size, and color, (for example: Arial 12pt white) that would be such an enormous timesaver. I guess I'll submit that as a feature request again.

I would also really like to see an option to globally set font text/size of notes. Everytime I cut and paste it seems to default to different sizes regardless of the source. I also submitted a request. I agree with Andrew, it would be an ENORMOUS time saver

I agree, in my case, it is WAY TOO SMALL in the notes section to read. It makes it pointless... Please add this feature.

Here I am, looking at this tread that dates back to 9 years...

This feature is a must. As a builder, the more batch process we can, the better.

9 years...

So I back Pierre's comment too!

BTW make it full fledge: fonts, size, color, markup,...

Regards

  Being able to globally change the font in Notes is crucial. We are using this in place of CC, and it is tedious and time-consuming to change the notes in each slide. Please make this update as part of your accessibility features. Thanks.
