Allowing Users to Skip the Timline

Mar 09, 2016

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Storyline 2 and I'm hoping to allow users to skip through the timeline of a slide. This could be accomplished by clicking a trigger on the screen, or any alternative.

This function would be particularly helpful if it's the second time the user has visited the slide, as I don't need him/her to hear the narration.  Further, it allows users with muted volume to skip ahead, as they can read faster than the narration.

Is this possible?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Brad:

Storyline development ideas that popped into my head when I read your article:

1. Create a variable or variable(s), along with triggers, to track the status of whether or not a learner has visited a slide or has listened to a narration.

(SUGGESTION: Create an ON/OFF switch for Slides that have Narration!)

2. Use variables and/or triggers to jump to pre-defined cue points, allowing your learners to progress through the timeline more quickly.
