I am trying to create individual feedback for each answer using the freeform. However, it doesn't allow me to enter the feedback for each answer. Does this need to be created on separate slides? Did I miss a step or a setting?
Couple of ways you could do that depending on how & when you want to show the correct answer. One way would be to create a numeric variable to track how many attempts they've made to answer the question. You can find the steps for setting that a variable to count attempts here.
Create a review layer that indicates what the correct answer is.
Then modify the feedback layers for the incorrect answers to have the continue button display your Review layer if the attempt count is equal to or greater than 2. If it's less than two the continue button should just hide the current layer so they can try again.
On your review layer you could have a button that takes them to the next slide.
Actually since it's a quiz question Storyline will automatically include an "Attempt Count" variable so you can just use that instead of creating your own.
Create a new "Review" layer that indicates the correct answer. Include a Continue button that takes them to the next slide when clicked.
You'll add a trigger to the Continue button that will Show the Review Layer - When Clicked - IF "Attempt Count" is greater than or equal to 2 (and remove the existing one that jumps to the next slide)
I've attached a quick example for you to take a look at.
One last question. Do I need to make a new layer for the correct answer after the 2nd attempt was wrong and I'd want the user to see the correct answer or can I just direct them to the correct layer ( already created by free form) with a trigger based on the variable on the incorrect slides? Does that make sense?
By default the correct layer doesn't provide any indication of what the correct answer actually is. It just tells them their answer was correct. But you could modify that correct layer to tell/show them the correct answer in which case you could do without the Review layer. Either way would work and it is just a matter of what you prefer at that point.
I also noticed that you have at the layer trigger on the incorrect to jump to next slide when count is >2. Wouldn't that conflict with if the count >2 on the incorrect layers to show the correct layer instead of jumping to next slide?
ah, it works! However as a note. it is best to have a review slide as you suggested because the correct feedback has to be different form the review feedback. Thanks Mike as always! I like your twitter feed.
For some reason I can't see the Feedback by choice option on quiz slides I have already developed. I can only choose this option on new blank quiz slides, which would mean choosing this setting on a new blank slide and then manually copying everything across. Does anyone know a way to enable feedback by choice on an existing multiple answer quiz slide?
That option is not available for all question types. You can read more about that here.
By choice: This option lets you assign a different score to each answer choice. It's only available for some question types, including Multiple Choice, Word Bank, Freeform Pick One, and Freeform Hotspot.
Hi Leslie! Is adding feedback by answer choice available in SL 360 on questions that have already been created? I clicked on your link above, and it looks like that just explains how to assign points per choice, but I am interested in unique feedback per choice.

Hi Kai! You should be able to add the feedback for each answer up next to each Choice instead of down at the bottom.
Great! Can't believe I missed that
One more question Mike: So how do I get the correct answer to show after the 2 attempts? Right now all it does is have continue.

Thanks again Mike. However, I am using the free form and have 4 incorrect layers and one correct layer. The attmepts have already been set as 2 tries.
So, once I setup the number variable, how do I tie that in or do I just have '0' attempts?
Sorry, I am a little confused.

Thanks Buddy! 99% there.

True. I will try it out and let you know.

Hey Tyler - for questions that allow you to provide feedback by choice, you can certainly set that up. I've created a quick Peek video to explain.
Thank you!
Of course - glad to be able to assist :)
