Adding Text To A Marker
Oct 05, 2016
Hi everyone!
I am fairly new to Articulate. I am working on a project and I am stumped. Originally I had created buttons but I couldn't really figure out how to add a textbox that would pop up with an explanation in it. So then I thought about adding the markers. The problem that I am having is I want to make the marker look exactly like the buttons I created, and replace all of the buttons with the markers so when the users clicks a button - the text box comes up explaining exactly what is covered under each specific button. Is there a way to add PT on to this marker so that it will look exactly like the buttons I have already created?
I have attached a screen shot to further explain.
Thanks!

Rather than trying to make a marker look like a button, you can add text to the selected state of a button. See below for a simple example. And there are lots of other options to display/hide text when a button is clicked. You can always share your .story file here and someone will help you.
You could use states on your buttons. Make the textbox part of the Hover, Down, or Selected state, depending on your needs.
Great suggestions from Walt and Michael. I also lament not having a customizable marker. I have sent in a feature suggestion and hope you will do the same. The more input the better I think.

Good luck with your modification.
Hi Jessica,
In addition to Michael's suggestion of adding text to the state of the button, you could look at adding text on a layer that is shown based on the user clicking or hovering on your button.
