Options not showing in Storyline Ribbon

I need to edit text to speech. I was able to do this previously, but I no longer see this an option. The options tab in my ribbon is missing. How do I enable this?

    You can't *do* anything with the text to speech (or even the audio track) because you have disabled it for this slide.

    Just click the checkbox and it will become active again.

  • The lock-icon column is used to prevent an object from being selected/edited.

    • For example, locking a picture prevents you from accidentally moving it when you're placing labels on it. 
    • If you can see an object on your slide, but you can't select it, check to be sure it isn't locked.

    The eye-icon column in the Timeline can be used to show or hide an object.

    • When the eye icon for an object is deselected, that object won't appear on the slide. That also prevents editing it.
    • Select the eye icon for your text-to-speech, and you should be able to edit it.

    @Judy - Thanks for the clarification! I'm thinking ahead of myself this morning!
