Is there a way to have 2 buttons on a screen in Articulate Presenter, and have one button take the user to a certain slide, and the other go to a different slide? I know this works in PowerPoint, but, it isn't working in the published Articulate Presenter file.
Yes. The way I do it is to create my "button" image and then make a shape that goes over it. The shape then needs to be set to 99% transparent and you can set hyperlinking to it. Don't set 100% transparency, because when you do that, for some reason, it doesn't work sometimes. I do this trick a lot when I am trying to go for a more interactive feel to my slides (like menu items). Hope that helps!
Thank you for the quick response! After doing more research, I realized my slides in the branching did not have slide titles. After giviing them titles it is working perfectly
My branching is not working. I've set up the same scenario as the one you described. I used the transparant buttons and also I verified my slides have titles. What else can I check?
Mary, are you using Hyperlinks in PPT to go to the specific slides? Also, do you have the Presenter slide properties set to advance by user, instead of automatically?

I should have mentioned that those links do not typically work in Preview mode. Only once published. Try a test publish and see if it works.
