A little background: I'm creating systems training using screen recordings and making the user click and type their way through to complete the course.
In my freeform slides I would like the cursor to already be in the text entry box when the slide starts. There seems to be a mix in the ones I've created so far: sometimes you have to click into the text box when you arrive on the slide, and sometimes the cursor is already in the box - and I have no idea what I did for that to happen.
What do I need to do to ensure that the cursor is ready and waiting in the text box without the user having to click into it? (sorry if it's really obvious)
Thanks for reaching out, and I'm happy to offer a tip on how you can start a Freeform Question slide with the cursor starting in the Text Entry field!
You'll want to drag the Freeform Question Text Entry box to the bottom of the timeline order. I did a quick test, and this worked for me. Here's a Peek recording of my test.

Looking forward to hearing if this works for you!
Hi Becca,
How can you make this work if you have a graphic on the screen.
Placing the text entry box at the bottom of the Timeline places the text box behind the screen capture.
Hi, Keith.
Thank you for reaching out!
You can also use the same logic with a layer:
Let me know if this works!
Thank you, this did work.
