Button deleted but still appears in published course

Dec 10, 2013

I deleted a button but when I publish the course, the deleted button still appears.  It is not visible when I edit the course.  How can I permanently delete it?  The button was previously copied into a character state but can't find it to re-delete it.

Hi Debbie,

It may be helpful for us to see your .story file (or even that one slide) to see if the button does exist anywhere else (places I would check include: within a state, layer, master slide, etc.). Also, you if you've checked all of those items and it's still causing a problem I'd check the following things next:

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.
  • Try importing it into a new Storyline project to see if that resolves the issue
  • Conduct a repair of Storyline
