Change the Previous & Next buttons in Storyline 360?

Dec 28, 2016

Sorry if this is a redundant question. I've seen plenty of posts on how to hide the Previous and Next buttons but I can't seem to find an answer on whether you can change them. And by change I don't mean just the color or the text. I mean replace them with other button images. Is this possible in Storyline 360, and if so, how? Thanks!

Hi Barbara

are these on quiz slides - once you have  visited a quiz slide and go back and revisit - SL thinks you are doing a review so shows the Prev/Next buttons so the user can navigate.

If so, you can setup triggers on the master slide layout that your quiz slides are using to

  • change state of next button to hidden when timeline starts
  • Change state of prev button to hidden when timeline starts

Hi all! My team and I have recently discovered the wonders of Question Bank. Unfortunately, when they were building our banks, the Previous and Next buttons were not on all slides. After importing questions, I attempt to highlight all slides for the specific Question Bank to add the Previous and Next buttons all at once but it does not seem to work. Any suggestion on how I can ensure all questions have the Previous and Next buttons for Question Bank questions?

Hello Giovanni!

By default, question slides in a question bank have a Submit button but not the Next and Previous ones.

There currently isn't a way to update the slide properties on multiple slides in a question bank at once, but I've got a few ideas for you:

  • Copy and paste the question slides from the question bank into a scene
  • Or, manually update each slide

I created this short video demo of both options. Let me know if that helps!
