is it possible to change the default story size?

When I create a new project, I'd like the default Story Size to be something other than 720 x 540. Is there some way to tweak the default settings, thereby avoiding the need to reset it for every new project?

    I would support this feature change.  Since I ONLY design in 16:9, it would be one less thing to do.

    What would be useful would be to allow me to set global settings which are retained for each new project. The Storyline 360 "launch page" has a lot of unused real estate (several months ago, I asked "how much longer do I really need to know that Adobe is ending Flash support on 12/31/2020?" Guess what? It's still there!) which could be leveraged. Why not have Default Story Size there, where I can select from one of the built-in settings, or dial one of my own in?

    Along with that, how about other settings, including:

    • Publish Settings
    • LMS Output Options
    • Default development directory
    • Player Properties
    • Slide properties
    • Default Slide Master
    • Default Feedback Master
    • Default Project Theme
    • Default Theme Fonts
    • Default directory for media import, including picture, video, and audio
    • Default interactive objects properties

    Did this update happen to enable setting other story defaults like colors, fonts, etc? I imagine most of the Storyline community is restricted by branding. It would be nice to be able to personalize the defaults of these other elements as well.

      Hi Tiffany!

      This feature is strictly for the Story Size, so it doesn't include the colors, fonts, etc.

      However, you can customize theme colors and fonts to reuse when creating new projects.
