Previewing your work

Once there are a few slides in place, you may wish to take a quick look at how things are shaping up. You can preview the current slide the current scene of or the entire story (shortcut key is F12) by clicking on the Preview button from the Home tab.

Previewing not only shows the slide content but also shows the default navigation including next and back buttons and the menu. Though the buttons and options are there, some may not work if you are previewing a single slide. For example, the next button will not display the next slide. This would only happen if you are previewing a scene or the entire project.

Preview shows the Player interface surrounding the slide content. This can be customized by changing colors, fonts, and options such as menu visibility, location, and volume control. Customizing the Player is covered in Chapter 10 , Publishing your Story

This last exercise will finalize our first draft of Exercise 2 – Workplace Compliance. Perform the following steps to add animations and transitions to the course:

  1. Navigate to the first slide and expand the Timeline to see all objects.
  2. Add the following animations:
    1. Add a Fade In entrance animation to the folder group.
    2. Add a Fly In entrance animation, and select the Fast speed from the Bottom to the intro paper.
    3. Add a Fade In By First Level Paragraph option from the Top entrance animation to the introduction.
    4. Add a Grow In entrance animation to the employee group.
    5. Click on the triangle besides the subtitle group in the Timeline to expand it. Click on compliance box then add a Fade In from the Left entrance animation and Fade Out to the Right exit animation.
  3. Preview this slide. You can click on Replay to watch again. Click on Close Preview.
  4. Select the 1.2 Menu slide.
  5. Adjust the color of the post-it notes and practice using Format Painter by following these steps:
    1. Select the first note, right-click on it and choose Format Shape.
    2. In the Fill section, click on the Color drop-down list and choose More Colors.
    3. Drag the color slider on the right-hand side of the screen higher to make the yellow a fainter color or enter 255 for Red, 255 for Green, and 110 for Blue in the respective boxes and click on OK, then Close.
    4. While the first note is still selected, click on the Home Tab and select Format Painter (or click the paintbrush icon). Click on the second note to apply the formatting. Repeat this for the third note.
  6. While still on the 1.2 Menu slide, click on the Animations tab and assign the Cover Up Slide Transition to this slide.
  7. Select the last three slides and assign the Slide Transition of Fade Out.
  8. Preview and view each slide by pressing the Next button in the lower-right corner of the slide. Make sure that you see the scrolling textbox and zoom screenshot on the Privacy slide and navigate using the menu on the left. When done, close Preview.
  9. Separate each of the topic areas into a scene on its own. This helps to keep the topic areas organized, particularly as more slides are created:
    1. Switch to Story View and click on New Scene from the Home tab.
    2. Rename the new scene as Business Conduct.
    3. Repeat the steps above for Privacy and Security.
    4. Click-and-drag the 1.3 Business Conduct slide into the new Business Conduct scene. Repeat this for each of the other two topics.
    5. Delete each of the blank slides in each new scene. The story should now look like the following screenshot. Be sure to save the file.

You may want to practice with Story View. Now that your file has been saved, just be sure not to save it again, simply close the file and do not save the changes when you're done.

Storyline assumes your course content will flow in linear fashion, from one slide to the next, as shown by the arrows between slides. Storyline automatically numbers slides and scenes sequentially. If you want the Home slide to come after the Menu slide, all you need to do is to click on the Menu slide and drag it up. A blue arrow will appear indicating where the slide will be placed. Once you release the mouse, you'll notice that the slides are automatically renumbered to reflect the move.

You can manipulate the view in Story View by clicking on the small minus icons to collapse and plus icons to expand scenes and using the zoom controls in the lower-right corner.
