Storyline keeps changing my slide order
I too am having this issue, and I cannot believe there is no fix yet!! At times, in a project with a lot of branching and scenes, I don't even notice that slides in a completely unrelated branch of the scene randomly jump to a new position.
This is very embarrassing when you submit a file for review to your team, or worse to the client, and find that the last minor change you made moved the slides around and you didn't notice. So the client or your supervisor sees an incorrect/non-functioning slide order. Imagine what they think about my skillset!
I have started undocking the scene for slides I am working on so that I can see (in my peripheral vision) if something changes on a different slide. I have caught these random slide order moves MANY TIMES by doing this, but it is not a solution to the problem.
Is there any update on this issue??
Hi Angela,
I'm sorry to hear that you ran into this issue.
I'm aware that incorporating a branching design in Storyline 360 rearranges the order and position of the slides, but I'm not aware of any issues wherein this rearrangement causes slides to become non-functioning. Even though a slide is moved to a different position in Story view, any triggers linked to that slide should still work.
Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening? Please include a short description of which slide is non functioning properly. We'll delete it when we're done testing!
