Slide Layers Panel has disappeared in Storyline view

Hi Sarah,  I really think this is a design flaw with Storyline, but there is no obvious button to reinstate the layers when they disappear like this. You have to place your cursor on the right edge of the application (it should change to a t type pointer) and then drag it back into place. It is very fussy so just keep trying until you get it.

That was the problem, thank you so much Nancy. I had to minimize the application and dig around on the outside of the application like you said, but once I did that, the double black arrow icon became visible for me to drag it back out.

Such a small thing causing such a headache!

And I am with Bruce, a grab tab would be an excellent addition.

Thanks you!

I am with you and Bruce. They need to do something about this.

Hi everybody

Quite by accident, I've discovered something that works for me here - just drag further!  Here's a quick screencast to show you what I mean.  Hope it ends the frustration! 

Thanks Jill! I will definitely try that out next time I break the elastic band on that panel.

Thanks Jill!  That has been a god-send for me, I was starting to lose my hair!!!

Me too! Thanks Jill for the demo - it was very helpful!!

 THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I couldn't figure out how to get the panel back for the life of me...and I was so close to done. Now I can finish!  This really was a show-stopper for the last hour.

Thanks Nancy!  I've been going crazy for the past hour trying to figure out where it went.  I hovered my mouse and got it back on the first try.

Thank you Sarah for posting this question.  And big thanks to Jill & Nancy for their answers.  I came to the forums before I tried to look for anything in the Storyline menus this morning....and these answers are exactly why!  Found out the answer in less than 5 minutes!  Thanks so much Storyline community!
