Try Mode to Test Mode
1) Can I turn a Try Mode Simulation into a Test Mode Simulation? I made a boo-boo and went through a lot to get to where I am right now at a simulation, but turns out it should have been a test mode simulation instead of a try mode simulation.
Can I turn it into a test? If possible, does it have any "side-effect"? Would I miss any cool feature that a Test Simulation (from the beggining) would provide me?
2) In any case... When a simulation is smaller than the stage, it gets automatically centered in the middle height of the slide. Can I pull it to the bottom center?
I do know I can do it when I enlarge the slide, then Storyline asks me what to do, but when the Screen Recording is brought to a larger slide, can I make it to align to bottom?
Forget it, I did it. I fixed it.
Well, that's cool Javier! Glad you got it figured out. If it's something that you think would benefit another community member, I do hope that you share
Thanks Javier for updating us that you were able to figure it out!
I don't know if I can turn a Try mode simulation into a test mode one. So, if someone know how to do it, would help anyways.
But regarding to my second question, I was avoiding having to "crop" the slide and then enlarge it, be cause I thought the that to "crop" a slide, was to actually "cut" whichever image that were left outside the canvas. But when the slide is resized, the image looks complete again, so great.
Hi Javier,
You're able to reinsert screen recordings within your Storyline file and then choose at that point to make it a Test Mode simulation. You could then go and delete the slides where you had inserted it as Try mode.
Thanks for sharing the update on your second question as well.
I have a similar situation and I'm pretty sure I've figured it out. I recorded a set of steps on my screen that is in Try mode. Now I want to use the same screen recording in Test mode.
- I saved the Try Me as a Test.
- I created a new scene.
- On the Home tab I selected Record Screen, It showed my previous recordings.
- I selected the one I wanted and inserted the recording as a Test.
I have to clean it up now and delete the other scenes I don't need.
I have the same issue as Nancy. I have a Try Me file that I need to save as a Test file.
I'm not finding any way to resave the Try Me as a Test in Storyline 360.
Any help on how to do this is much appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for popping in and sharing your steps, as I'm sure this will come in handy for others who come across this issue!
Hi,
I have created a simulation but it doesn't seem neat to me.
Could you guide me, simulation as attached.
Hi Sanchit,
Thanks for sharing your .story file so that we could see the simulation you created.
Would you be able to share some additional details about what you are needing help with? I'm not sure what you mean by "it doesn't seem neat to me".
Hi Peggy,
Please switch to Story View in Storyline 360 then:- Click on Record Screen button.
- Select your screen recording.
- In the Insert Slides dialog window, select Step-by-step slides > Test mode steps.
- Set Insert Slide in to New Scene.
- Click Insert button.
