I have three slides that are all check boxes. About 10 perslide. The customer has asked for the user to select text boxes that apply to them. From here they want a final slide that collates those particular selected ticked boxes.
Is there a way to do that and can someone tell me how?
You'll need to work with variables and trigger conditions to do that.
Create a T/F variable (with an initial value of False) to track each checkbox.
On each slide, for each checkbox, add a trigger to the Next button that adjusts the corresponding to variable to True with the condition that the given checkbox is Selected. Those triggers would look something like this:
Note: Be sure that all of these triggers appear before the "jump to next slide" trigger. Otherwise, they won't run, because Storyline can't execute a trigger after it's left the slide.
On the "results" slide, add separate text boxes or shapes corresponding to all the checkboxes.
Unfortunately, since there's no way to know what combination a user might click, you have to assume it's possible they clicked everything.
The objects could be set so their initial state is Hidden, and then plan to change the state to Normal if the corresponding variable = True.
Another option would be to start with the Normal state, and then change it to another state if the corresponding variable = True.
Add triggers that show the appropriate objects based on what variables are True. Those might look something like this:
FYI: Yes, it's possible to display a list with just the selected items -- if you know how to use JavaScript (or you know someone who knows JS). The above solution is for using only the built-in functionality of Storyline.

Here's more info about conditions and variables:
BTW, depending on what the checkboxes are, this post might be of interest:
