Can you tell me more about what you want to achieve by bookmarking slides? While Storyline doesn't have a "bookmarking" feature, there may be another way to go about it.
How about adding a Variable for your Bookmarked Slides and jump to that slide when a condition is True?
Let say, a variable is myBookmark = "10" // for slide 10 Then on a specific slide, check your bookmark variable if there is a value and add a trigger to jump to bookmarked slide which is Slide 10.
I have used JS to build a list of the bookmarked pages in SL, but not sure how I would go about jumping to a slide in that list once shown. If my course is 70 slides, I would not want to make 70 buttons and toggle them based on if they are bookmarked (another solution).
I need to add a hotspot or link to or way to jump to the page in the list I have created, which is essentially a variable containing all of the bookmarked pages (using a button to set) based on Menu.SlideTitle, however figuring out which line (page in the variable list), they click on is not possible.
Back in the day, Authorware had a var LineClicked which would be helpful here ;0)

Hey Chandi!
Can you tell me more about what you want to achieve by bookmarking slides? While Storyline doesn't have a "bookmarking" feature, there may be another way to go about it.
I have a Storyline3 file with around 80 slides with custom menu navigation.1 - 6 is the menu. (main topics in this module Each topic has many slides.
For E.g. from this slide (topic 2, slide no. 6) when I go to topic 1 from menu, I want to directly come back to Topic2, slide6.
I should be able to bookmark any slide in this file.
How can I do this?
Hi Chandi,

Then on a specific slide, check your bookmark variable if there is a value and add a trigger to jump to bookmarked slide which is Slide 10.
Thanks Daniel.
Can we write JavaScript loop and add many bookmarked slide names to a textbox?
Then at any time, I can jump to a bookmarked slide from the bookmark list.
I should be able to remove bookmarks from the list also.
If anyone knows the code, can you pls share it?
This sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to do.

Looking for other ideas! Thanks.
