Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem or knew how to fix it:
When I preview or publish my story, it gets to a certain slide, I click next to continue and everything freezes. I can't click anything on the player or the slide.
I tried cutting the slide out of the story to see if it was a problem with the slide itself - it just froze on the earlier slide instead.
I also tried cutting and pasting the entire story into a new file - same thing - still froze at the same place.
Hello! I received some feedback after submitting this problem and Eloise suggested recreating the Engage interaction because Storyline isn't recognizing it as an Engage slide. The trouble is I've switched computers multiple times and I can't find the original template. It was on the "social media tips" slide. Is there a place where I can re-download all of the pre-built Engage/Presenter templates that should have come with the Articulate Studio package? I saw some instructions on how to add tabs to engagements like this one, but they didn't offer a place to download them. Here's an example: https://community.articulate.com/series/12/articles/tabs#
Sorry to hear that you've run into a similar issue. Looks like you've shared the zipped published output. Would you be able to share the .story file so that we could take a look?

Glad to hear Victor was able to help you out here Jennifer! I appreciate the update.
It looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if needed and here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.
I'm having the same issue a slide will not advance in preview or published mode. I've tried re-doing the button, it's in the same drive, there's nothing covering the button but I can't share the file due to confidentiality.
Thanks for your message, I've spent all day working on it and finally found the problem. Well, not specifically which bit was the issue, but I found which slide it was and deleted it. Then rebuilt it. All sorted now.
I am also encountering this problem. Slide 1.35 plays correctly, but then the loading icon pops up and the entire story freezes on the transition to slide 1.36. It worked correctly a few days ago, but now the preview and publish both freeze in that spot. I deleted the prior text box and rebuilt it, rebuilt the triggers, removed each image and then restored it but nothing seems to work. One thing I noticed is the trigger keeps defaulting to a Slide Trigger instead of Player Trigger. Not certain if that means anything, as other slides have done this as well but still transition correctly.
I also cannot jump past this slide to see if the remaining slides are working correctly. I've attached the storyline file.

Hello Caitlin - The link that you have shared here is simply instruction on utilizing a tab interaction, and those are standard within the software.
I recorded a quick Peek video here and uploaded to Review for you to take a look.
If you are looking for the template downloads that we have available, you can find them here.

I am now running into a similar issue in Storyline 3. The Reverse Coding slide is freezing up in preview or after being published. Thoughts?

Hi, thanks Leslie. I put in a case and Victor was able to determine it was a bad text box. All better!
Thanks for checking in. Your support team rocks!

Hi Juliet
hard to say without seeing the file. Have you tried rebuilding the slide as Victor found in the above file it was a corrupt object on the slide.
Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem. I get to a particular slide and everything stops.
I thought the slide was corrupt, so I removed it completely, but now the story just stops on the following slide instead.
Was there a solution to this please?
Thanks, Kassy
I sent my file in with my comment and they were able to locate the corrupt object in my slide. It was a text box. Good luck!

Hi Kassy,
I'd like to get your file into the hands of our Support Engineers. They're rockstars at troubleshooting this kind of thing!
What slide is giving you trouble, in particular?

Hey Chad,
Thanks for sharing your .story file and allowing us to take a look.
Slide 1.36 will not preview on it's own, so I would either re-build that slide or remove items to find the culprit.
For anyone following along, it looks like Chad found the culprit on his own. Just want to link to this post as well.
