I might be missing something here, but the only button that caused layers to seemingly overlap ('not close') was the Notes button, which actually loops back to the same slide. That can be fixed by setting the baselayer's properties to 'Reset to initial state'. See attached revised file.
I see what you mean. The attached revised file. Since the Notes tab should always be shown as selected at the beginning of the slide, I added a trigger to show that state. Hope that's what you intended.
The problem now is that by resetting the slide to the initial state it resets the visited states on the other layer.
I guess what I was hoping was that I could use the jump to trigger to take me back to the base slide and have that work as a layer so to speak. I guess I will just have to create a notes layer to make the functionality work.
Seems odd though that jumping to the slide doesn't automatically set it to the base layer.

Yours works perfectly but you don't see the selected state when you go back to it, which is confusing
I want the notes tab to work with the same functionality as the other tabs, not sure why it won't hid the layer when it jumps back.

HI Ari! Looks like Michael took care of you here, just let us know if you need anything further.
Well sort of,

Hi Ari! Is the attached what you are looking for?
Nope still the same problem.
I'm trying to upload what I finally did as a solution but for some reason it won't upload.
I created another layer called notes1
Added a trigger to go to notes 1 when the timeline of the base layer starts
seems like a troublesome workaround for something that may be a desgin issue.
Hi Ari! Sorry I was not able to assist you, but glad you seemed to have figured it out.
This does your original request I think
This is how I always return to the base layer via a tab
You could add a trigger to show notes1 when the timeline start
This is by design and not really a bug.
