I need help creating a trigger on a slide with layers that returns the slide to a "non-visited" state when a user returns to it. The slide is set up to "grey-out" the buttons that trigger each layer after it's clicked. Once you go to the next page, then try to click previous to return to that slide, the buttons are still "greyed out" and you can tell it's been "visited." How do you get it to return to it's normal/initial state when a user re-visits it (with the buttons active (not greyed-out)?
If you want to change the state of the buttons, you'll need a trigger to do that for each button.
You could attach those triggers to the Next button, so they'd change as the user is leaving the slide. (That'll happen so fast, it shouldn't be noticeable.)
Or you could have the triggers execute when the slide's timeline starts. And set the Slide Properties to "Reset to Initial State" so the timeline will replay when the user returns.
However, I'm not sure why you don't want the user to see that the buttons were already visited. IMHO, it makes sense to indicate that an action has already been taken. So, for example, instead of make the Visited state "greyed out," you could add a check mark to the Visited state and/or make it another non-grey color (i.e., a color that's not typically used for a disabled state).
