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

- 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:
- Switch to Story View and click on New Scene from the Home tab.
- Rename the new scene as
Business Conduct
. - Repeat the steps above for Privacy and Security.
- Click-and-drag the 1.3 Business Conduct slide into the new Business Conduct scene. Repeat this for each of the other two topics.
- 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.
