Objects disappearing at end of timeline, even though go til end
Sep 12, 2013
Hi,
I keep getting this problem (I'm making my first storyline project). Everything will be working fine, and then I make edits to a part of slide and when I go to preview, the text, images, etc disappear from the slide right at the end. (I currently have a button set up to change from state of hidden to normal when timeline ends becuase I have audio). So, the Continue button shows, but things that used to also stay, now disappear.
When I go to the timeline, it looks like everything is all lined up at the end, so I dont know why the disappear -- I've had to just re-do entire slides - but maybe there is something going on that I'm not aware of. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

I'm newer to storyline, started using it in July 2017, but this has been a constant issue. It would be nice if the layers would snap to the endpoint. It is very easy to have them a tiny bit offset and having to resize to look closely isn't really the best solution. Thx.
Can you attach a video or a slide so we can see it?
Not really, just a blank slide. I found the solution on another thread. Right-Click on the layer and select "show until end". This will fix the layer that is offset.
Thanks Steve, This has really helped me - a simple fix for the most frustrating issue :-)
Thank you Steve! This has been driving me crazy - my object is set to go to the end. However, I did have an Exit Animation - and THAT was the culprit. Took that off an works great.
I am having this issue. I made two cards on my slide, you click one and it flips and you see the back (which is a layer) then you click the other card and it shows the back ( a 2nd layer). It worked for a bit but suddenly it started to have one of the cards disappear when you click the next slide. I made the back of the card in each layer to show always and there is no exit animation. I've been looking at this for a half hour or more and can't find where I went wrong.
Hi Kristina,
Are you comfortable with sharing your .story file for the community to take a look? You can share it publicly here. Or, if you prefer to work privately with our support engineers, they can offer some help as well!
My gosh. I'm using the step-by-step function for the first time and didn't realize that the automatic text prompts have exit animations. You just saved me so much time. Thanks a mil!
I'm so glad I found this answer, as I'd had exactly the same problem, and this was the simple fix!! Thanks
