Storyline 360 -- Adjusting Tabs in a text block
We would like to customize the tab settings in a Storyline text block. I haven't found instructions on how to do this in the forums.
Is it possible? If so, how do we do it?

Hello Sarah,
Thanks for your input on tab stops! There has already been a request submitted for this feature. I added your voice to the request. If this makes it onto our feature roadmap, this conversation will be updated.
Thanks for reaching out!

Please add me to the list. This is a really basic requirement for working within text boxes...

Further to my comment a few months ago...
I have just completed the Articulate 360 Accessibility training and one of the things to avoid is using tables for non-tabular text - which was my work-around for not being able to set tab-stops.
So Accessibility is another reason to push this feature to the top of the development list.

Really, a basic text editing function, like adjustable Tabs is still not available??? Please add my name to the request list, please!

Wow! How has something so basic not been standard for at least the last 10 years?

Hi, this is such a basic feature. Articulate developers really need to get onto this.
I was using a table to layout text, but it's not great for accessibility (screen readers). I come from a graphic design background and find Articulate really frustrating. I'm trying to make it work, but basic functionality like this shows that you're not hitting the mark and the application feels old and clunky.
Please add this basic text feature! :)
Hi Mark!
Thanks for the feedback on how this feature could benefit you when authoring in Storyline 360!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share! If you'd like to stay up to date, please bookmark our Feature Roadmap.
Have a great rest of your week!

Is it really the case that this feature still isn't available five years later?
- MikkiAshtonCommunity Member
Is this still not available. This is a big miss.
Hi Mikki,
Thanks for reaching out! The feature to choose a specific indention is not yet available. I've added your voice to the feature report, and we'll update this post once it is shipped to a future Storyline release.

I really don't understand how this basic feature is still missing - or why it wasn't included as a basic text editing feature from the very start.
Why is it taking so long?
For all of us asking there must be dozens more who are equally frustrated.
Hello Sarah,
I appreciate you following up on this.
We are careful when adding new features to avoid breaking existing ones in the software. Though I cannot estimate a timeline because of factors like complexity, breadth, and engineering's current workload, we'll let you know if the new feature is due, and you will be among the first to know.
