storyline slide view: slides move in slide panel - please freeze slides
LaurenDuvall Here is another example. This time I was adding an audio file to a slide and the thumbnail moved up in the list.
Hi RandySimmons1! This extra info and screen recordings are super helpful! What you're running into looks more like a bug to me than a feature request, so I've opened a case on your behalf to connect you with our Support Engineers. From here, they'll read through the case to get up to speed. I've also sent you an initial email so that you can follow up with a .story file if possible. We'll continue the conversation in your support case!
I too have this problem of the side panel slides moving. It even happens when selecting a slide that isn't at the top or bottom of the panel as shown in the videos. I can't unfortunately make any videos as it is a work computer this is on. If this can be fixed or a toggle switch that turns this on and off added that would really help. I have on numerous occasions copied or duplicated the wrong slide because it has moved of its own accord!
Hi KellySheehan-da! Thanks for contributing to this discussion! In an earlier reply, I mentioned this might be a bug. After taking a closer look, I realized this behavior is actually working as designed right now. That said, I completely understand why the slide thumbnails shifting in the side panel feels disruptive. When slides move unexpectedly, it’s easy to select, copy, or duplicate the wrong one.
What you’re describing is really a request for more control, like being able to freeze the slide panel or toggle that movement on and off so you can work with confidence. We’ve shared this feedback with our product team so they can see how it’s affecting your workflow in Storyline. We'll report back if we have an update!
