I am newer to storyline and have a few questions that may be basic.
I have a drag and drop menu feature in my course. The slide properties are set to reset to initial state after the content is reviewed for each section and go takes them back to the menu slide after content has been reviewed. I have a state built for visited but it will not trigger due to the intial state slide properties. What can I do to keep the visited state showing so the employee knows they have visited that content.
Also after each section has been viewed, I would like for a "button" to appear to take them to the next scene.
It seems to be - the built in states and their names have pre-assigned actions and behaviors associated with them, so if you attempt to use one of those and add additional triggers to it things can start to get wonky as Storyline is relying on what it has built in and then getting confused with the additional stuff you told it to do. To help you out as you continue to build, take a look at the definitions here and if you need to do something else, start with a custom state and build from there.
Thank you. The only hiccup I noticed is that the next section layer disappears if I click on go. Is there a way to have it stay once the completed states are activated.
when you click on Go you are effectively closing your 'next' layer - perhaps disable Go when the timeline starts on 'Next' if you don't want them to click it?
Thanks. I ended up putting a bigger shape on the entire slide of the "next" layer that way no matter where they click, they will go to the next scene. The only thing is if they want to re-review content then it would be an issue.

Hi Marie,
could you share your story file with us or some screenshots of what you want to do? I don´t understand completely what effect you want to have.

Hi Marie
see if the attached update to your file works how you want.
Hope this helps
It works! Thank you!!! Is the issue that I needed to create a new state and not call it visited?
