Hi, Linda.

Thank you for sharing your .story file!

I looked through your project, and here's what I found out:

There are also 2 knowledge checks not working properly.

The knowledge checks had feedback layers, but those were not connected to the feedback in Form View:

I connected them in your file, and I'm attaching the edited version here.

On 5 slides, the audio works fine in preview but is not working when the scene is published.

This appears to be related to a bug we have logged, where the trigger to "jump to next slide" attached to a hotspot causes trigger "when user clicks outside" to fire up automatically on the next slide.

When the user clicks the hotspot on one slide, if the next slide has a trigger to show the hint layer when the user clicks outside the hotspot, the layer will show up when the timeline starts.

I added this discussion to the report so we can share news when we have any updates, but in the meantime, here are the workarounds:

  • Create a Hint button the user has to click to show the layer.
  • Add a hotspot covering the entire slide except for the answer, and use "when the user clicks" trigger instead of "when the user clicks outside".

On your edited version below, I disabled the triggers to show the hint layer. 

Let me know if you have additional questions.
