Can anyone help me with the functionality of custom Notes button in Storyline.
I have created a separate layer for the customized Notes button at the bottom right of the page. The intention is to keep the audio on the base layer playing when the learner clicks Notes button so that he/she can read it simultaneiously as and when listens to the audio. However, when I click the Notes button, it takes me to the respective pop up with notes text and pauses the audio of the base layer.
If you are using a slide layer, you should be able to show the layer and have the audio continue to play. I've provided an example of how I was able to accomplish this (see attached storyline file).
Thank you for the quick help. Let me put it this way:
I have a base layer, Layer 1: Notes layer, Layer 2: a click on image layer.
Base layer and Layer 2 have an audio.
Learner needs to click an image on the base layer that opens up the Layer 2.
Challenge: When I click Notes button on the base layer, it opens up the Layer 1 and audio continue to play, which is fine. However, at the same time, when I click the image, it opens up Layer 2 and the Notes Layer is closed which I dont want.
Without seeing it, it's hard to know for certain - but do you have the 2nd layer set to hide other slide layers? If you're able to share your .story file here with us we can take a look at the behavior.

Are you using a lightbox slide or a slide layer?

Good Luck!

Hi Ashley,
Attached is the story file.
I want the notes pop up opened and audio playing when learner clicks the image and the on click text of image also shown up.
Please help.
Hi Shivani,
you just have to un-check a checkbox on the slide layer properties - please see this screenshot of your test file
actually, you'll want to make sure to do that on any & all layers that you want to show up at the same time
Thanks Meg for helping out Shivani here - you beat me too it.
