Inserting a scrolling panel

“

- [Instructor] There is literally no end to how much information you can stuff inside a scrolling panel. Which makes them really good for summaries and read and acknowledge activities that often come with compliance training. Let me show you how to insert one. So this is a module summary. I wanted to keep it short, but a key stakeholder wanted to add a few more key takeaways, I'm sure you can relate. To culminate that request I'm going to call upon the scrolling panel. Let me clean up the stage a little bit, get the timeline out of the way and then remove this scenes panel. So we have a little bit more room to work. So the first thing I do is I remove everything off screen than I can, cause this text will eventually go in the scrolling panel, but right now in order to remove it cause I need to insert my scrolling panel right there. So to do that, we'll select insert all the way over to the right under interactive objects, select scrolling panel and then we'll click and drag where we want it. We'll hurl on the black background to see what's happening but once I release you'll see it. And there is our scrolling panel. Let me pull up the timeline so you can see it. It is in fact there scroll one. So the next thing to do is move the assets into the scrolling panel. And this takes a little trial and error to get it right. See that cross hairs on the text so I can drag it. I like to go up and then release it in. So that didn't work. So you know it's in when you see the scroll panel to the right, but we don't see that yet. So let's drag that off, try it again. And we know it's in there because we have the scroll bar right there. What's kind of fun is there's all sorts of neat stuff you can add to a scrolling panel. So what I'm going to do is add a little Easter egg. So I'm going to bring in an image, control + J is the keyboard shortcut. Just a little nice effort that I'll stuff at the bottom of these scrolling panels. So once the learner goes all the way down they'll see this kind of nice message. So let me bring this down, I'm going to put it right about there. And same deal takes a little bit of trial and error to get this thing down there. But I know it's in there if it goes with the scroll. Yap, so I'm scrolling and I know it's in there. Let's take a look. Just how I want it. Scrolling panels are a great way to add breathing room to your content. Consider using them in summary type slides and read and acknowledge activities.
