In Storyline can you globally change the font in Notes tabs only?
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.
Hi Guys. I'm a brand new Articulate Storyline 2 user! Just getting up to speed on the tool. Looks quite intuitive and I'm looking forward to using it on my next eLearning project. Question re "Notes"... What is the recommended font style and size to use? I would like the Notes (which I'll be using as my audio narration transcript) to match the look of the words "Menu", "Glossary", and "Notes" on the tabs above. What do you think? Thanks.
Hello Corey,
Welcome to the community. The default font for the Player tabs, the Menu, glossary etc. is Open Sans. However, you can change this under the Player tab, then colors and effects if you wanted to go with something different.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your response, Emily. So, if I want the text in the Notes (for
example) to match the tab names themselves, would that be Open Sans? It
didn't really look like it matched at a quick glance. How about the size?
Black text will be fine. Let me know your thoughts.Thanks again,

Hello Corey,
If you want to keep it at the default, the font would be Open Sans. I am not sure the exact size in the Player, as it cannot be changed, but you could test a few sizes to see which looks closest. The default font in Storyline would be Open Sans 12.
And FYI - when you reply via email, your email signature will appear in the post. You can click on edit to remove this.
Thanks, Emily. I messed around with Open Sans, Open Sans Semibold, and Articulate fonts today to see which one matched closest in the Notes. None of them looked 100% exact to me, so I think it really comes down to personal preference. We'll see!
PS - Didn't realize my whole email signature was going to appear earlier. Thanks for the tip!
Good luck with the project Corey!
I am sure something will work out. And no problem about the email signature.
Has the feature request to change the font and font size of the Notes globally been developed?
Hi Sandie,
There is not a feature for changing the notes font globally, although in Storyline 2 you now can adjust the overall player font (except the notes).
Hi Jay!
Looks like I just responded to a similar post here.
Has a global format for Notes been included in 360?
Hi Andrew,
The Notes are still treated as a separate and distinct element for each slide, you can now change the font size and font of the overall player as detailed here for Storyline 3 and Storyline 360.
I certainly understand the request to change the overall slide notes, so thanks for submitting the feature request! Here's a bit more detail on how we handle Feature requests and what becomes a feature!
