Linking from imported Engage interaction label to Storyline slide

May 10, 2012

I'm working on a product training piece that I've imported from a former PowerPoint/Presenter project  to Storyline. 

Question: Is there any way to link from a label in an imported Engage interaction to another slide in Storyline? I want learners to be able to click for more information about something mentioned in the label (as if it were a layer on top of the interaction) then return to the same label to continue viewing the rest of the labels in the interaction.
I'd prefer the experiene of "learning more" to be interactive and so I'd like to develop that in Storyline.

Hi Lea,

Since the Engage interaction is imported as a web object into your project, there's no way for the interaction to communicate with the rest of your project.  I'd recommend redeveloping your Engage interaction in Storyline so that you can use triggers and slide layers to accomplish the same thing.  We have several interactions built into Storyline as templates.  To access them, use the method below:

1.  Select the Insert tab

2.  Click the New Slide button

3.  Select the Templates tab

4.  From the drop-down at the top, select Top Interactions

You'll have a wide range of interactions that are similar to what you see in Engage including a Tabs Interaction.
