Missing States tab
Help! I'm missing the STATES tab. I first noticed this after I viewed a demo from the community (not sure if this relavent).
It occurs on old and new projects.
Any ideas how I get it back??
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the image and I'm sorry to hear about the behavior - can you confirm you're using a DPI setting of 96 as detailed here? You'll also want to make sure you're working on local project files, as working off a network or USB drive could cause unusual behavior. Lastly, if the behavior continues I'd like to have you go through the repair steps here.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with or how it goes after you check into those things.

And, magically and inexplicably, it returns, without any explanation or having to take any of the steps above.
Thanks Ashley
Those are always the best ones! Glad to hear it Steve.

This is so odd... just happened to my boss yesterday/today... (we still use SL2). Mine's fine though, we're stumped.

Hi Chris
this is a longshot - not sure if you are using dual monitors - try View > redock all windows

Hi Wendy thanks for tip; funny but my boss does not (who has the issue), but I do sometimes use two and I'm fine. Has there been any research on this bug? She was updating a course and rather than trying to edit an object's state, she just had it appear at the desired time by adjusting the timeline. A workaround for now but...
Let us know if Wendy's suggestion doesn't help, Chris! My next idea would be to repair (reinstall) Storyline 2.

Hi Ashley thanks for ringing in. I didn't get to ask her today if it persists, I see it just sort of went away for the user who started this thread. Hope it doesn't happen to me! I'll tell her to repair/reinstall if it doesn't come back.
Sounds like a good plan Chris. Just let us know if we can help you out :)

Hi Lisa,
You do have the States tab, I circled it in orange below:
Once you click there you'll be able to add a state to the object you've selected on the slide.
