Pages in Saved
Storybook Are Not Accessible |
|
After creating a
storybook, you are unable to access all of the pages. Adjusting the
maximum number of pages after the storybook is created will cause
this issue. To prevent this issue, set the number of pages to be
equal to or greater than the greatest number of pages of any story.
This should enable you to work within the entire story until you are
finished. |
If you create a story in
Make Your Own Storybook and subsequently adjust the maximum number
of pages using Preferences, then you might not be able to access all
of the pages of your storybook at a later time.
For example, if a storybook is 15 pages long and you reduce the
length of the storybook to 10 pages, when the saved storybook is
accessed later, only 10 pages will be seen.
In the future, set the number of pages to be equal to or greater
than the greatest number of pages of any story. |
