Story view
Hello everyone,
I just started using Storyline 360 this week. In Story View, I noticed that the slides are arranged horizontally rather than vertically (as shown in many tutorials). How can I change the layout to vertical?
Also, in the Story View ruler, I only see 3 slides instead of all the slides. I'm not sure why this is happening (see photo below).
Thank you very much.
Those horizontal tabs across the top are just showing your recently opened slides.
Thank you for that.
Storyview lays out the slides based on the navigation.
- Typically, the Next button jumps to the "next" slide in the numerical sequence. That creates the vertical set of slides in Storyview.
- If there are no triggers linking the slides, they show in an unconnected horizontal layout like the one you're seeing.
Thus, to see the slides in a vertical layout, they need to be connected with triggers.
BTW, with complicated courses, Storyview doesn't always look like what you might expect. But as long as your triggers work as expected, that doesn't matter.
And, as Ron said, the tabs across the top are simply the slides that were recently opened from Storyview.
Thank you so much Judy.
From slide 2 onward, should the slides use triggers like this?
Those default triggers work well for a linear course. The triggers can be edited whenever the course needs to branch.
Unless your slide-1 is set to advance automatically, that also needs a trigger to jump to the next slide.
Here's the User Guide info about triggers: Storyline 360: Working with Triggers | Articulate - Community
This is normal. Your scene view of slides do not look like they are currently linked so that may be why you are seeing them horizontally, not vertically like you see in tutorials. Once you add the linking to the previous and next buttons, the scene slides will move and show arrows to show how they are linked.
Thank you so much Pam. Now I understand what to do :).
