Tabs disappear after I delete a slide?
Hello,
I'm working on a project where it makes sense for me to copy and paste slides from one module to a different one frequently. The main reason is that I changed a lot of things on the layout for one of the modules and want to transfer that over to the other ones instead of redoing all of the slides, so I copy the slides from my "master" module and paste them on the module I'm working on. Then, when I delete the original slide from the module I'm working on, the tab open on the menu bar from my "master" module gets deleted as well. It's really frustrating to have to go back to Story View and find the next slide I need to copy over instead of being able to just click over to the next tab, especially with the number of slides I'm using.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Let me know if I'm not making sense - it's a weird problem to explain.
Thanks!

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for sharing that here. Can you confirm which update of Storyline you're using? The most recent is update 5.
I saw the behavior you showed within the screen recording when testing it out on the file you shared as well, so I'm going to share this with our QA team for additional review. I'm glad though that it's not deleting any of the other slides than the one you choose to delete and just removing the tab view.
Hi Ashley,
Yes, I'm on update 5. Thanks so much for your help with this!
I just did update 6 and am still having the problem.
Hi Amanda,
I shared this with our QA team last week, and update 6 was already in the state to be released so it would not have been included in that update. I don't have a time frame to offer in regards to when or if it'll be addressed by our Quality Assurance team but I'll keep you posted in this thread with any additional information. You'll want to be sure you've subscribed to updates so that you will receive email notifications about replies.
If you need anything else please feel free to let us know!
Hi Ashley,
Was the QA team able to give any answers? I'm at a point in my project where the issue is becoming more bothersome.
Thanks!
Amanda
Hi Amanda,
Unfortunately I don't have an update to share from our QA team in regards to this issue. I'll be sure to update you here once I do have additional information to share.
The same thing is happening to me -- I have tabs "Story View," "3.8 Title," and "2.7 Title" open. From tab 3.8 I delete that slide; the screen refreshes and my 2.7 tab disappears. I can do it with the tabs in any order, also, and it will close the tab I'm not working in.
Nothing has been updated recently to cause the problem to happen all of a sudden. My updates are also current.
Hi Sara,
Thanks for posting here - and I don't have any other information to share at this point. It sounds like you're using Update 6 of Storyline? Can you share any more about your set up that would help our team isolate the issue (i.e. Windows, Office versions, not working locally, etc.)?
Hi Ashley,
I downloaded a trial of Storyline 2 and am still having the same issue. I know this isn't your fault, but I'm beginning to get frustrated that this hasn't been addressed yet. It's a huge inconvenience in projects where I need to copy and paste slides from scene to scene. Is there any way the issue can be escalated with the QA team?
Hi Amanda,
I can share that you're still seeing this behavior in SL2 and I see the same thing. I'll let our QA team know and will share any updates here once they are available.
