Checkboxes and "Initial State"

Nov 03, 2020

I use checkboxes and data entry fields in my presentation on one slide.

Under "Slide Properties" and "Revisiting" I entered "Reset to initial State", because the customer wants to see the page and the audio from the beginning, but also the entries of the user should be adopted.

The data entry fields are retained, but the checkboxes are empty again.
What can I do?

Thanks for your help1

Hi, Karin,

Text-entry fields automatically store their value in a variable. That's why that info persists when you return to the slide. 

You can add a variable to track the state of each checkbox. That will allow you to trigger a checked checkbox to appear Selected when the user returns to the slide.

You can see this in action in the attached file (which includes instructions).
