links not working correctly
Mar 10, 2011

I have two slides that have links going to URLs that are going to the wrong place. This happens when published, not in preview mode. On both pages there are two links on each page. My sentence looks something like this: blah blah link and link blah. The second link works fine in the sentence. The first link is linking to the same place as the second link. When I look at my PowerPoint, the links look good. Any idea what's going on?

The latest suggestion for the problem is the Flash component in Storyline may be incompatible with Internet Explorer. Has anyone heard anything about that?
Do we have a resolution for Presenter? (Seeing as this section of the forum is for presenter?)
I can't seem to get links, or hyperlinked items to work. Nothing happens, can't click in preview, etc...
Do links only work once published? It'll make testing very difficult.
Hi Scott!
That is correct.
Hyperlinks may not work as expected when previewing. To test hyperlinks, publish your presentation and upload it to a web server or LMS. Otherwise, local security restrictions may prevent your hyperlinks from working properly.
Hi Terri,
I just encountered this exact problem. Is the only workaround to delete and recreate the slide?
Hi Nicole! This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if Terri is still subscribed here. Have you tried to delete and re-add the links? What software/update are you utilizing? If you need us to take a look, you are welcome to share your project file for us to take a look.
Update - looks like we may be working together in this thread as well and I see your file share.
