Anchored text in sidecar module

AndersGunnarHelle

It would be valuable to have the option to anchor the text when using the sidecar module to a specific spot on the slide, so that the story becomes more userfriendly when switching between slides (e.g. as seen in this article, where the text immediately jumps to its "anchored spot" on the slide).

This is particularly valuable for floating text without a background, whereas the text may become difficult to read floating above parts of images or maps with similar color as the text. It could also ease the scrolling when using a docked sidecar, in some cases making it easier to tell a story.

Hi @madra29, I am unsure what you mean with percentage solution. Please explain further, if possible.

My idea would be that there could be possible to either;
1) Drag the text box (ref. picture #1) to the an anchor point of a 9-point grid;
2) Choose not only horizontal position (ref. picture #2), but also vertical position (also three options). When combining the two options there would be nine possible text positions to choose from. When picking the vertical position, it would anchor the text so that it would automatically place the text in the desired location when scrolling to the point of where the slide shifts.
