Set slide properties for the entire project

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to change the slide properties for all the slides in a project at the same time? I want all slides have the same settings as at the screenshot attached.

    I have the same problem.  I cant change slide properties for many slide in the same scene.

    Here is a short demo video about 3 slides.

    In story view I cant select each individual slide only the its a question bank.

    What could be the solution`as I have 400 slides?

      Take them out of the question bank and then put them back in.

    Thank, Phil. I just tried. I know to delete, edit question banks...but how do I take them out and back?

      Open the question bank and double click on a question. In the slide sorter on the right press Ctrl+a and the copy the slides and paste into anew scene. Theme press Ctrl+a and change the properties. You now need to either remove all the slides from the bank and add back in or create a new bank.

      Long winded way

    Phil, you are great. Copying of 400 slides took 6 minutes, ha ha ha. But then editing the slide properties worked out great.

    Thank you very much!

  • Glad you got it sorted, this one always annoys me would be great if you could click on the bank and change the settings and then the bank did the hard lifting

    has anyone not been able to change the properties at all? The pulldown does not work

     

  • Hi, Karen.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Is this happening with all your projects or a specific one? 

    If it's happening for every project, my first recommendation would be a quick repair of Storyline: 

    If it's limited to a specific .story file, you're welcome to share it through a support case so we can help you troubleshoot.
