Need Help Displaying Transcripts from Notes via Top Bar Tab
Hi Team,
I wanted to create a separate section for transcripts, so I’ve manually added all transcript content into the Notes section of each slide. I then created a "Transcript" tab in the top bar using the player settings.
To activate it, I tried using the following script:
javascript
Copy
Edit
const transcriptBtn = document.querySelector('.modern-video-control.video-transcript');
if (transcriptBtn && !transcriptBtn.classList.contains('enabled')) {
transcriptBtn.click();
}
However, this doesn't seem to work — the button appears but doesn’t respond or reveal the Notes content. Is there a way to assign a trigger to the custom "Transcript" tab so it can display the Notes panel?
If there’s any workaround or recommended method to accomplish this in the latest version of Storyline, I’d really appreciate your guidance.
Thanks in advance!

You don't need JavaScript or another tab. You can move the Notes to the topbar using the arrow keys under the Player tabs section:
To make it say "Transcript," change it in the Text Labels:
This was a great help, thank you! I also wanted to ask — what’s the best way to add transcripts for each section when I have multiple layers on a slide in the note section?
Each slide has its own note. It can't present the transcript for layers separately.
You could put the transcripts for the base and the layers into the Notes panel. However, that might be confusing to the learner. Another option would be to create a separate transcript box on each layer.
I haven't worked on courses that needed transcripts for layers. If you want design ideas, I suggest you start a new discussion.
