Here are a couple ways to build the snapshot focus effect in Articulate Storyline. It's one of my favorite techniques for quickly creating interactive scenarios or "ask the expert" style interactions.
I can think of a few more ways to approach this in Storyline... So, if anyone's interested in adding to the demo pool on this one, go for it
David - I LOVE the Lego version - especially the use of color vs. black and white. And the bacon ipsum is fantastic! (Brisket est sausage qui). Thanks for another inspriational post!
That's right: the feedback masters are used for slide layers while the slide masters are used for base layers.
I can think of another use case: faux lightbox slides. Remember this example: custom lightbox slides? In that one, I added a black rectangle w/light transparency to simulate the lightbox effect. Well, I could have right-clicked the background and applied a solid fill (with transparency) to simulate the rectangle. To view that formatting, I could go to View > Feedback Master and made additional adjustments.

Great stuff
The thing I will certainly remember is the (now bookmarked) "bacon ipsum"
Many thanks for sharing.

@Diana - thanks! Legos and puppies always make tutorials seem a little better
David,
Under what circumstances is the "Feedback Master" applied?
I have worked with Correct / Incorrect layers, but was somewhat surprised to see it in action here!
Why does opening a layer classify as "Feedback", and are there any other circumstances where this technique could be used?

Beautiful demo, David!!
