I have two buttons on slide 1.2. I want the learner to go through the AUDIT button first. When they are done, it comes back to slide 1.2 and AUDIT shows a visited state and DAST is in the normal state. After the learner completes all of the DAST I would like it be in a visited state too. I have tried several options and can't seem to get it to work correctly.
Hey Kendra. This is a common challenge. Visited is a temporary state.
If you create a new custom state on your buttons (I usually call mine "completed") and use the formatting/look of your visited state you can use that with success. Just change your triggers/variables to reflect this change.
Kendra, here's an example that uses three button that link to three different pages. The Next button is locked until all pages are visited. This may help guide you to the answer.
Are you clicking on your button in edit mode and clicking the "States" menu next to "TImeline?" That's your ticket to creating that extra state.
Hi, I'm having a similar issue to Kendra and have tried following all the steps in the buttons2 story that Michael attached above. I can move through the course, however the next button stays disabled. Any suggestions on how to get the next button to work?

Can you share your .story file here so that someone can have a look at the trigger setup?

I'm struggling with the same issue. The visited button seems to be temporary. After visiting the slide I want them to visit, when they go back to the main navigation page it appears as visited but if the user hovers on it again it goes back to normal state.

I created a new button and have tried various triggers and variable changes. I still can't get it to work. What am I missing?

Ok. I tried that too and still no luck.
Try changing every mention of "Visited" in every trigger to "Done", and see if that helps.

Hey Leslie, any news on how did this end?
I'm struggling with the same issue. The visited button seems to be temporary. After visiting the slide I want them to visit, when they go back to the main navigation page it appears as visited but if the user hovers on it again it goes back to normal state.
Any suggestion on what to do?
Thanks!!
