Editing States with images
By
Helena Smith
I want to change the state of each image to a "visited state". When the user visits the state, I tried inserting a check mark but its not working. I also tried to change the color of each object of each stated once they visited, but its not working. How do I make the states change in color or add an object so the user knows they have selected that object.

Hi Helena,
States are one of my favorite features in Storyline. The great thing is that for states like "visited" you don't even have to add additional triggers. Once the image has been clicked Storyline automatically knows to show the visited state for that image, if it has one.
I've taken your .story file and added visited states to the first two images, check it out (attached).
Also, for more info on how to work with image states, check out this great tutorial - https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/adding-and-editing-states-in-articulate-storyline-2
Hope this helps, and good luck!
This is great. How did you add the "check mark"? When I select edit states, add "visited" and then insert my image, it doesn't work.
Ok I think I figured out the problem. I need to remain on the "visited" state, then add the image in the manner that I want it to appear and then save.
Yes! Sorry it took me a few to get back here, but yes you're correct. Select the state you want to edit, then add checkmarks, adjust the color, etc. Glad you got it figured out!
Hi Helena:
Like Brian, creating customized States (particularly Buttons) is a key component of my Job.
Here's how I add (or change) graphics/details for a STATE:
In Articulate Storyline 2:
You need to do this or you may not end up changing the State you want to alter.
NOTE: If you don't SEE the STATE you wish to CHANGE, you MAY need to CREATE it.
NOTE: This will be displayed on the Slide as well as in the States Library shown at the bottom of the Storyline Window.
Hope this helps!

Thank you everyone. I don't work with States that much, but I think I will practice more.
