Storyline missing data entry field on ribbon, can't find these features anywhere

My storyline seems to be missing data or numerical entry fields on the ribbon. How can I find those, my ribbon is fully open and I am not finding anywhere where I can customize the actual ribbon, just features like spell check. Is it possible my version doesn't have these features?

  • Hi Ericka!

    If it's on the ribbon itself, and not the quick-access toolbar below the ribbon, it could be because the ribbon is contextual and the options you'll see are based on what view you're in and what's on your screen. So in Story View you'll have very different ribbon options than in slide view, and in slide view you'll have different options based on the objects, text, etc., on your slide. 

    As far as I know, the ribbon itself is not customizable, but the quick-access toolbar below the ribbon is. Does that help? 

  • As Phil said, the Input button for inserting a data-entry field is on the INSERT tab.

    When you narrow the Storyline window, the ribbon groups might condense. So look for "Interactive Objects" and expand that section as needed.

    FYI: Storyline doesn't let you customize the ribbons.
