Reinstate feedback master continue button

Hi Dayn,

What update of Storyline are you using? I'm using the newest update 6 - so I figured it's worth starting there.  I just tried removing the continue button place holder on my feedback masters, and when adding a new question - the continue button is still there. Which, may be what you're running into, as by default you can't modify the look but you can hide it as described here. 

You'll also want to confirm that you're working locally, as working off a network drive could be causing issues with how the file behaves. 

Hi Ashley

I'm using Update 6 too.

I get the same thing if I add a new question - the Continue button appears even though the placeholder for it has been deleted from the feedback master, but the project I'm working on already has the questions (lots of them!) set up and the Continue button isn't showing. Do you know of a way of getting it back without recreating all the questions?

Thanks

Also - yes - defnitely working locally.

Dayn, Try clicking Layout on the Home tab, and then reselect whatever layout is already applied on the slide (to essentially apply it again). If that doesn't work, try picking another layout, and then change it back to what it was.

I'm using custom buttons on my feedback layers, and I've left the old placeholder buttons on the screen and just moved them off stage. I've found that on slides that use one of these feedback layouts, if I delete the auto-generated button (from off-stage), it will come back if I just reapply the layout again.

Hi Chad. Thanks for your reply.

I get the same thing if I just delete the placeholder (in a new file). But I think the Continue button in the actual correct/incorrect feedback layers has also been deleted for each question. I can't find a way back from that.

There is a custom continue button, so it's no problem for the learner, but the links between slides don't show up when editing which means I have long horizontal rows of apparently unlinked slides, which makes editing harder. I can temporarily add Next buttons, but the final project has a custom menu, so these will ultimately need to be switched off.

Lesson learned: never delete the auto generated continue buttons - just move them off stage.

Thanks again

Thanks Chad for sharing that solution here - and Dayn for the update. I haven't seen this on my own files, and even trying to delete the button entirely I still can see it when reapplying a layout. If you'd like us to take a look at your .story file we're always happy to.

OK thanks Ashley.  I will need to check with our client to find out whether it's OK to share files (confidentiality etc.).

Sure Dayn, I certainly understand - and if you need to share it privately we can always get your files through a support case to take a look. 

I wonder if you create a new Story file if you can import the Feedback Master to see if it works.  Otherwise do the opposite and create a new Story file and import your slides to it.
