Is there any way to choose a different slide master when a variable is altered. Basically I have a custom menu in the slide master, however the course branches out in two different paths and I don't want the user to see the slides for the path that they are not on.
I'm not sure you can choose a different Master slide, but you can certainly trigger jumps to any slide based on variable changes. Is that what you mean?

Hi Steve,
I'm not sure you can choose a different Master slide, but you can certainly trigger jumps to any slide based on variable changes. Is that what you mean?
Do you have a file you could perhaps share?
Do you mean the slides they are viewing are the same, but the courses differ in which slides are on the menu?
If so, you could create two menus on the master and use a variable to show the appropriate one.
If what you want is something different, Veronica is correct; it would really help to share a file, or at least a couple of slides from it.
You can use custom states for background objects on the slide masters that can be changed based on variables. Here's a simple example I use in my variables workshops: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/2df62ec3-a0f2-4ce2-a049-865f0c975049/review
If that's close to what you're trying to do, let me know and I'll send you the files.
This is exactly what I'm looking to do. I can't quite seem to get it to work for me. Would you be able to send me the files so I can see your working?
Hey Mark - I'll clean up the file and add to downloads. In the meantime, here's a direct link to the source: https://d.pr/f/L7XQOJ
