I want to create a situation where, if the user drags an object to an incorrect spot, rather than getting the incorrect feedback they are automatically taken to a screen which shows them the correct area. I think this used to be done with blank slides in Quizmaker (it's been a while since I've used it so that may not be right).
How would I do it in Storyline please? I've tried creating a new layer but can't get it to go to it at the right time.
There are a number of ways to doing this in Storyline. I've attached a story file to show you one simple way.
All I did here was create the drag and drop items on the slide - I just used simple shapes and labeled them as right, wrong and drag me so that is is easy for you to visualize.
I create a layer showing the correct response - I used the storyline screen recording tool to capture the correct response as a video and inserted it onto this layer. You don't have to do this but it was suggested in another post today so thought I'd give it a try.
Back on the main slide - I added a "Selected" state to the correct drop area (the green one). I edited this state to include a yellow check mark.
I then added 2 triggers - one to change the state of the correct drop area to Selected if the user drops the DragMe object onto the green box.
The other trigger says to show the correct layer if the users drops the DragMe object onto the wrong drop area.
Using this method, you don't have to use the quiz options or the "Convert to Freeform options at all.
I'm sorry to keep bother ing you lovely folks but I'm still stumped. I see how Nancy's solution works (and it will actually be useful in another scenario I'm creating) but it doesn't actually solve my current problem, which I didn't define well enough - sorry. I'm trying to label parts of a diagram and have set up a hotspot over the correct area for the label. When I drop my label over the hotspot I get the correct feedback box from the layer called 'correct' which was created when I set up the questions, which is fine. I had set up the incorrect layer as a custom layer and in the drag and drop feedback section it says custom slide layer but when I deliberately put the label in the wrong place I don't see any feedback at all. I thought it might be because the incorrect later was not visible but I changed it and it still doesn't work. Any ideas how I can get the layer to show?
Somehow I need to set up a trigger for what happens if the user drops outside the hotspot but I'm not sure how to do that.
Hi Rebekah, is there any chance you could post your story file or at least a subset with the setup you are describing. I can't make out what you are trying to do from your description.
Thanks for your help Nancy. I did alter it slightly but it is doing what I need it to now. My next level of complexity will be to add a screen cast of how to label it correctly as you did but at least I have it working now.

I am trying to create a drag and drop function where there are no wrong answers. All objects selected are correct as long as an object (minimum at least 1 out of 4) is dropped onto the dropzone and submit is clicked. In addition, when no object is selected and submit button is clicked, a feedback mesg will pop out indicating "No selection is received, please try again." Feedback box will have a close button and when user click 'Close', user will have to select at least 1 object to the dropzone.
It sounds like what you are describing is how I would expect the drag and drop to behave. Would you be able to share your .story file with us to take a look?

One more thing, let me know if you want this slide to be scored because the way I have set it up right now, it is not treated as a quiz.
If you want it scored there are a couple more steps.
Thanks so much Nancy. I don't have time to try it out at the moment unfortunately but will later today.
The support here is SO great.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for your help. I used your other tip for another story last night, so the advice was not wasted at all.
I've attached the slide. It is a quiz about male reproduction in the horse.
That is one impressive picture Rebekah, thanks for sharing and I'm glad I could be of some help.

Hi Nancy and Rebekah,
Just wanted to say I liked the Q&A for the "misunderstood" question and just created a slide with a similar solution. So, thanks!
