What's this new button in Storyline?
Hello AlannaOConnell-,
Glad that Judy jumped in here! Happy to share more details about what you're seeing in the timeline.
That “person” icon on the Storyline timeline lets creators show or hide all slide objects from screen readers and keyboard navigation item by item or all at once.
Here's a quick visual for your reference!
I hope this helps!

Hi LucianaPiazza ,
Firstly, thank you for illustrating via the short video - this always helps especially if it identifies a systemor setting issue.
In this case, as I mentioned and as BarryHollembeak also experienced, I have no hover text for those buttons, so no explanatory text. Would this be a setting in Storyline do you think, or should this be logged with support as a defect?
Thanks, Alanna.
Hi AlannaOConnell- & BarryHollembeak,
Happy to jump in here.
Storyline does not have a setting for enabling/disabling Tooltips. They should appear automatically as part of the Windows UI when hovering over controls in the authoring environment. When testing, all Tooltips displayed as expected on my end.
If repairing your Storyline installation doesn't improve the issue, you may need to check your Windows Visual Effects settings.
- Navigate to System Properties > Advanced > Performance Settings.
There, you can ensure that any option related to Tooltips is enabled.
Let me know how it goes!
