Storyline - remove "Menu" tab row in sidebar

I want to remove the "row" that contains the "Menu" tab in the sidebar. I'm showing only the menu in sidebar, not Glossary or Notes, so don't need the "Menu" label or tab, and want the vertical space back. See attached. I searched but did not see a discussion on how to do this. Thanks for your help.

  • What are you trying to achieve exactly? While I'm sure you can hide the text, or even the whole row, that will result in just additional empty space, or probably moving the entire menu structure up. Are you trying to get more logo space? That would likely be a separate issue from the menu.

  • Just trying to move the menu up and use that space. Don't need more logo space. Thanks for responding.

  • You can try this. Removes menu tabs and moves menu upward to fill the gap. It seems having a logo causes a bit of a loading delay, so I had to wrap the script in a timeout to make sure it worked on timeline start. You can adjust the delay.

    Demo: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b36771c1-f3d0-44cc-8eb1-75e327155591/review

    The demo runs a script on the timeline start that hides the menu tab. It probably only needs to run once. Could go on the master slide.

    There is also a button included for demonstration which runs another script that toggles the menu tabs on and off. If you want to undersatnd what it is doing, look at this script. The other script works the same, but is condensed and harder to read.

    Note, resizing the window causes the menu panel to shift up or down. For best results, you would want to add an event handler for resizes that repositions the menu panel by running this script again.
