How can I remove the previous and next buttons for only 3 slides in my course. There is other buttons that have triggers and I don't want the previous and next buttons to display for those specific slides.
Hi Terry! If you need to change slide properties for multiple slides, you can do this from Story View. Simply select multiple slides via holding Ctrl or Shift.
I was able to de-select them, but it didnt change anything on the slide level, or in the Preview. I ended up having to go through each slide and removing them and their triggers. Now it is working well. Thank you for the suggestion though.
I have the same issue. You can select all slides in each scene and change the settings, but when you revisit each slide it hasn't changed. Is this a defect? Should the user be able to make global changes to using previous and next buttons? I would have thought so.
I got this figured out now. So what I was able to do is similar to editing slide in slide view. I hold the Control button (PC) and click on the slides that I want to change their properties.
Hi, Thanks for your help. I can select multiple slides by using control and click, I then un-tick the forward / back properties in the settings, select OK. When I go and look at the individual slides they are still ticked! Am I doing something obviously wrong? : )
In slide view as above in image. I am unable to select all the slides in storyview .. it just opens the scene when I try to select each slide within the scene in storyview
Sorry to hear you're having trouble - to my knowledge it can only be done in Storyview not slide view
this is how I do it
In Storyview click the first slide in a scene, then Ctrl A to select all slides in the scene ensuring that the scene is deselected,
after you.click the first slide you should see the properties in the slide panel Prev and Next selected with a tick. Once you Ctrl A to select all slides, the slide panel changes to say something like 'multiple slides' and the the ticks will change to blocks of colour . Now you should be able to deselect prev and next and it will affect all slides selected.
As Wendy mentioned you can only select multiple slides in story view, so the way you've shown that your currently doing it will only update the one slide where you're changing the slide properties. When you're looking at your scenes in story view, are they slides/scenes collapse so that you're just seeing the small images or icons? Are you double clicking on the slides - as that would open the slides vs. just a single click which would allow you to select multiple at once. Here is more information on how to use story view.
How can you get rid of the "Next"/"Previous" buttons when a user is going back through a course; starting at the end and moving backwards to the beginning?

HI Valeska
in the slide properties panel for those three slides deselect the next and previous button options
thank you
Glad that Wendy was able to assist you here Valeska and please let us know if you need anything else.
Is there a way I can do this with out going into each slide?
My story auto advances and I kept the next and previous buttons there until I was sure the triggers to advance were all in place.

Awesome thank you!
I am having trouble though. It seems like the slides that have the built in triggers wont switch over properly.
Hi Terry!
You cannot de-select the Prev/Next buttons?

Hi Amanda!
I just peeked at a course and was able to update more than one slide at a time utilizing Story View.
Are you sure that multiple slides were selected?
If you have a .story file that you would like us to take a look at, feel free to share.

Worked really well actually.
Thanks for popping back in to share Terry. Glad you were able to get this working for you :)

Amanda,
Are you selecting the individual slides, as opposed to scenes?
Hey Terry I'm selecting the slides
sorry image got a little squashed up : )
Hi Amanda
are you doing it in Storyview not the thumbnails down the left hand side?
In slide view as above in image. I am unable to select all the slides in storyview .. it just opens the scene when I try to select each slide within the scene in storyview

Hi Anna - Looks like you asked a similar question and got some assistance here. I just wanted to link the two for anyone following along.
