Commenting
I'm very new to SL360 and have looked for a way to include comments in the Triggers to indicate purpose etc. Is this possible? What am I missing? Am I missing something obvious?
Unfortunately, there's no field for entering comments in triggers (nor for describing variables).
FYI: You can submit a formal feature request here: Help Us Improve Our E-Learning Software by Submitting a Feature Request (articulate.com)
Here are some other options for storing programming notes:
- Enter them in the Notes panel.
- Enter programming notes in a text box or shape that's off the slide or that's in a layer that's never shown.
- I've occasionally left bright red shapes just off the slide with notes for future developers.
- Enter programming notes in the slide(s) in a scene that's never accessed during the course.
Caveat: Any of those methods works fine—unless the course will be translated. All that text would be included in the Translation>Export document.
So the final option would be to create a separate file just for explaining the programming. That could be a copy of the .story file with just the slides that need explaining. Or it could be something in another program (e.g., Word).
