Lock slide order?
Hi, Silverfire! Thanks for adding your voice to this discussion.
I can understand why you'd want a way to protect the slide order once your course structure is in place.
I'm curious about how this fits into your authoring process. At what stage of a project do you usually wish you could lock the slide order? Also, do you tend to run into this more often in larger branching projects, or does it create the same challenges in smaller courses as well?
That additional context helps us better understand how this type of capability could fit into Storyline authors' day-to-day work.
Hi Eric. Yes, it's usually large projects with at least one branch. I usually wish I could lock the order after I create my first branch. It's then that I realize I'll be spending quite a bit of time in the story view and that makes accidentally moving a slide much more likely.
Hi Silverfire,
Thanks for answering, and for explaining when it hits you. Wanting to lock the order right after you create your first branch makes sense, since that’s when you start spending more time in Story view and a small bump is more likely to move a slide.
It sounds like you’d like a way to protect your slide order once a large branching project takes shape, so you can work in Story view without worrying about slides shifting. At the moment, Storyline 360 doesn’t have an option to lock slide order. We’re continuing to track this need.
If anything else comes to mind about how Story view could work better for your branched projects, we’d be glad to hear it.
