Perpetual Notepad for Storyline
Hi, here’s a simple Storyline 360 notepad in JavaScript:
- It is designed to be 720×540 and centred for use on a lightbox slide.
- It provides persistent notes across the course via localStorage.
- Multiple notes are allowed: the learner can create / rename / delete / switch notes.
- It has an advanced editor: font, size, colour, highlight, bold/italic/underline, lists, align, clear formatting and custom Undo/Redo (to 10 levels).
- The learner can export the current notes or a selection of multiple notes into a Word document.
- It has a built in close button that (a) flips a Storyline variable CloseNotepad (which you need to create).
- Optional SL variable can be created to sync content across your course: NoteTitle, NoteBody, NoteId.
The code can be found in the Execute JavaScript trigger on the lightbox master slide. It also requires a trigger to reset the variable CloseNotepad back to false. Everything can be found in the attached file.
If you find this useful, please let me know. I'll also upload a version that can be used in Rise 360.

Hi JoeDey . In my opinion, this is not a “simple” notepad but a huge piece of work. Thank you very much for generously sharing it. I have downloaded it and will study it closely. Not being a coder, I am always interested in how I can (possibly) modify the code “my way.” So, give me a few hours/days to explore it, and I will let you know how useful I found it. Thanks again.
