I followed the 'Create a Simple Office Exploration Interaction in Storyline 360' and have created it as it should be, except, after each slide it jumps back to first slide (as it should), but I don't want it to show Layer 1 where it provides the starting instructions.
How do I get it to go back to slide one, but only show the base layer, not layer 1.
You can use a variable to control if a layer will display on a slide or not. You can use a True/False variable along with triggers that will change the value of the variable from false to true or vice versa to control the layer. I've attached a sample project file so you can see a very basic version of this method.
Hi Joe - thank you so much for sending that file over. It showed me really clearly what I needed to do. Being brand new to e-learning creation this really helped.
Welcome to authoring in Storyline 360 and the E-Learning Heroes community! So glad to hear Joe's solution worked for you!
I wanted to invite you to our tips and tricks webinars. Once each month at 11am ET, our training team hops on a live call to answer top questions from our customers.
It's super casual (and they're super smart!), so it's a great place to get expert tips and answers to frequently asked questions from our online community. In short, everything you need to create incredible online learning! You can register for the next call here: https://articulate.fyi/3ZiKgu9
And don't worry if you can't make it, because everyone who registers will get a recording sent to them afterwards! There's also a huge list of on-demand past trainings available.
I have an additional question to this one. I am currently already using a variable to make a layer appear (layer appears when user finishes a quiz). Because I only need this layer to show once and I cannot use a second variable inside the trigger I am searching for solutions. Does anything come to mind?
It would be helpful if we can see what you already have setup so we can help you with your design inquiry. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case? We'll delete it when we're done testing!
I've also attached a sample file so you can see how using a numerical variable can be used to make sure that a layer is only shown once and then never again in the course. There are different methods that can be used to achieve your design requirement, but you can use this one as a starting off point.
So glad to hear the sample Joe shared helped with your design needs! If you run into any issues moving forward please let us know and we'd be happy to help. Have a great rest of your week!

Hi all,
