Yes, I am only working locally.
This happens a lot and makes me want to smash the laptop into a wall , its really frustrating.
Why does this happen, is there a way to fix this or do I just have to deal with this and manually assign every transition to a previous slide? Manually having to assign the route to a previous slide is an absolute nightmare and completely ruins the point of the "jump to previous slide" feature.
Sometimes its worked, suddenly it doesnt anymore... super frustrating and makes me regret using articulate in the first place, its ment to make this easy but at this rate I feel like I couldve made things easier or myself just coding this myself....
Help please?
Hopefully to make it easier to help me ive added the file in the attachements,

I went through the course, and clicked everything I could click on, and visited scene 3, 4, and 5. Every single time I clicked on previous, I went back to the slide I had just left. Is there any particular place you have trouble.
I know some people have had trouble with the previous button because they expect it to jump to the slide that in their mind is previous to the current slide. In reality it is designed to jump to the most recently visited slide, and I found that yours does that consistently.
Note that STORY VIEW has arrows representing the jump to the next slide because it can predict which is the next slide, but it does not have arrows representing jump to previous, because it can't predict which the previous slide is going to be.
Ah... I see...... I actually remember it showing the arrows pointing back to previous scene just fine in some other projects... weird.
But thank you, that explains a lot.
Do you also happen to know what is wrong with buttons having a hover state? I find sometimes it works and such fancy buttons transition between slides just fine, yet recently I cant get that to successfully replicate.
