Hi! I am building a 10-question quiz and want to use the same states color options for all 10 questions. When a learner clicks on a question, the question appears on a new layer.
Is there a way I can copy the custom color options I created for the buttons (hover, visited, etc.) from one layer to all of the others?
I am also trying to copy a state from one layer to another, but my state deals with text boxes. Of course, I was able to duplicate the state to use on other layers for the selected slide, but I want to copy that state to other slides. Is this possible?
No, this is a little different. I finally figured out that I could copy an object with the desired properties to another slide and use the format painter from there on the objects on that slide...then just delete the objects I copied from the original slide. It's a little more convoluted than I was thinking it had to be, but I made it work. Please let me know if there's an easier way.
I also attached a couple of slides that resulted from that approach on another discussion today. There were some inconsistencies in how the states displayed. Can you easily locate that post? I've posted so much lately that I"m not sure where I've posted which questions. I would like to say, though, that y'all are great about getting back to users quickly. Thank you for that.
I'm trying to copy the state that I've created on one text box to other text boxes on other slides. See the attached Word file for the inconsistencies I"m getting. I didn't seem to be able to have two attachments.
Thanks for sharing the image Leslie and it looks like Ashley beat me back to your post here. It's hard to know how the states were different of course, or what could have happened. Utilizing the format painter works for me to get all of them consistent if that's what you were hoping for?

Hello Niki,
Welcome to the community!
You could duplicate the slides to copy over the buttons from slide to slide.
If you are using custom button such as in a freeform quiz slide, you could just copy and paste the button into a new slide.

Hi Leslie! Is this the same thing you were working on with Ashley here?

You are trying to copy a text box with states? Or an object with a state that includes a text box?
Either way, looks like I can Copy/Paste and the states are retained across slides. Is that what you are asking?
Looks like your other post is here and I'll take a look.
