That's an interesting idea! I haven't seen a request like this before, so I'm curious to know more. What are you trying to achieve by revealing the previous slide content on the current slide? There may be another way to set this up!
I have a course which has menu, glossary, text and audio and a trophy page. All these needs to work as light box but I want my design for the lightbox and not the default one. So that whenever user access the menu screen he will have the previous screen loaded in the background.
We can achieve this using master screen but I don't want to go through this method as my menu is bit complex, it has multiple branching which mean I am creating 15 layers for just menu. Than, I have glossary which will be of 26 layers, text and audio 9 layers and trophy 1 layer.
Thus, placing these many content heavy layers in master is what I think is not feasible and so I have placed them on individual screens.
Wow, Amey! It sounds like you've got a complex design on your hands! I can see now why the ability to have a transparent slide background would make things easier on you.
Thanks for sharing that context, and I'll share your feature idea with our Product team!
Do we have any updates on this? My example is.. I have a long diagram which I need to place inside a scrolling panel on a lightbox. Because I can't change a single page to portrait, I was going to use this instead as a workaround. Sounds like I cant use either :(
Although such an option doesn't exist right now, we'd love to take a look at your diagram to help you meet your goal. If you're able to share the project, please use this private upload link!

Hi, The ID Guru. Thank you for walking us through what type of scenario you would use this feature!
It helps us understand the need, and I'll share the additional insight with the right team. If this gets added to a future Storyline update, we'll share the news here!
