Thanks for the great tutorial. This has been very helpful and I've referred to it multiple times. The main issue I have when working with motion paths is the inability to easily select a motion path when it's close to or directly under another motion path.
My teammate just experienced this issue when he created a motion path to move an object one direction. Then he copied/pasted that motion path, reversed its direction to move the object back to the original spot. He was trying to select the first motion path but can't as it's effectively buried under the second motion path.
Do you have any suggestions or workarounds? I've watched tutorials, looked through forums but haven't found a solution.
Thank you!

Hey Janet! So sorry for the late reply! Just in case you still need a solution (or someone else reading this), I wanted to respond.
You can toggle between the selected motion paths using Shift + Tab. You can see which one is selected in the Animation tab under name.

- Hello Sarah! Can you please elaborate on how you use Shift + Tab to toggle between motion paths?
What exactly do you select?
When I select the object that has two motion paths and use Shift + Tab it just selects another object. Please let me know what's your secret, thanks! - Hey, it's me again. I've managed to get it to work but I have to click Shift + Tab exactly three times before it toggles. Is this the same behavior you have? I can't believe that this is intended...
- Hey Mirjana! I'm so sorry that's happening! Leslie McKerchie made a video tutorial on how it should work here: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/selecting-motion-paths-already-established#reply-730699
