Formatting slide Notes all at once

Is there a way to set the Notes formatting for all slides at once (vs. having to format each slide's Notes one at a time)? The Format Painter is apparently disabled for Notes (how can this be?), and the Text Style control doesn't appear to let me create a style with font size, color, and line spacing to a new style I created. Thanks in advance.  

  • Hi, Phillip.

    The Notes are treated as a separate element for each slide. While not currently a feature in Storyline, we have a request logged for a global notes formatting option.

    I will update this discussion if I have any news to share or if this request makes it to our feature roadmap. 

  • Hi there - just checking in to see if there's been any updates to this? It takes an enormous amount of time to format each individual Notes section on a slide, especially if you make any changes to one and have to go back and re-do all the others. Is there any workaround for this, or a better process than manually formatting styles on the notes for each individual slide?

    Edit to add: It's not possible to use the Format Painter on Notes, is that correct?

  • Hi Kris,

    Thanks for checking in on this! This feature hasn't been added as we are prioritizing other features at the moment. A request has already been submitted for this feature and this conversation is being linked to that request, so if it makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll make sure to update you!

      Sounds great, thank you! I'll be on the lookout for any updates in future.

  • So important!  It can be a critical element for accessible design.  It is used to create learner guides as well, since text is treated as images in the export files.  I eagerly await the update to Storyline.  Thank you!
