I am just learning to use Storyline, and I can't seem to find any way to rearrange (move around) individual scenes in Story View. Is it possible to move (rearrange) them? If not, how can I change the assigned numerical order of the scenes to change their order?

The flow of your program is controlled by the triggers, not by StoryView.Although Storyview drives our OCD friends to the brink of despair, remember: WHAT YOU SEE IN STORYVIEW IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO PROGRAM FLOW DETERMINATION. It is merely a visual representation of how the triggers are set up. There is VERY little about program flow that you can change from StoryView. If you want to change program flow, find and change the triggers that control it. However, if you just can't live with the way things are in StoryView, this generally works. Cut a scene, then paste it where it belongs, and its number will be changed. This works best after a save and complete close of SL. Just a warning: doing this will NOT change anything about the order in which the user sees the slides and scenes.

I just opened a new file and copy and pasted the slides in the scenes in the right order. I had to do some reconnecting of links, but at least this worked, since I wanted to use the left menu for the review, and wanted the scenes in order.

Thank you for the prompt and helpful reply, Walt. That's what I needed to know!

Hi - I've got my scenes correctly linked, but they are displayed in one long, long string. I'd like to have them show side by side. How can I do that?

Never mind! Just figured it out. :-)

Hi, Lori!

Thanks for reaching out and I'm happy to help troubleshoot.

Are you trying to rearrange scenes in your Storyline 360 course? You can achieve this in Story View, by selecting a scene and clicking the Index drop-down arrow to change the number. Storyline 360 then instantly renumbers the scenes.

I hope this helps! If you need additional assistance or would like to share your file with our team, you can upload it here or privately in a support case, and we'll delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete!

To change the scene numbers. Go to storyview and click on the scene you want to change. Go to the top and click on Index and choose the number you want that scene to be. It will renumber all the scenes after that as well.
