Hi, I'm hoping one of you can help me with two questions I have - this is only my second module in Articulate so sorry if this ends up being very easy, but I can't seem to work these out:
Issue 1: I have a slide (2.2) with characters that, when hovered over, a bubble appears with text. On my software looks fine, and then when preview it looks fine, but when it's published, the texts do not fit into the bubbles - they are offset to the right. I thought it might have something to do with text boxes trying to be "in front of" other images on the slide, but can't seem to repair that if that's the case. I have to use a separate text box and bubble, as there is no text box in the shape of a bubble.
Issue 2: I have a review quiz at the end of the module with a results slide. When someone clicks on "review quiz" I can only get it go back to the introductory slide of the quiz; ideally, I'd like it to go straight to the slide having the first question. (slide 6.7, wanting it to go to slide 6.1 vs. 6.2 when reviewing their quiz answers).
Since you mentioned specific slides in your description, did you mean to also share the .story file? It would certainly be helpful when troubleshooting! You can attach it either here or privately through a support case.

I couldn't reproduce the text appearing offset after publishing (I published to Review 360, and it appeared the same way it did during preview). However, here are a few suggestions that might help:
Instead of adding a textbox, can you enter the text inside the caption?
I noticed you copied the entire base layer to each of your other layers in slide 2.2. Instead, can you just keep the caption while unchecking Hide objects on base layer from your Layer Properties:
Issue 2: I have a review quiz at the end of the module with a results slide. When someone clicks on "review quiz" I can only get it go back to the introductory slide of the quiz.
On your quiz settings (which you can access from the Results slide under Result Tools > Design), you tell Storyline which questions should be considered for the calculation. Since you created your introductory slide as a question, Storyline automatically includes it. You can uncheck it, and the Review Quiz should start from the first question:
I'm attaching your edited .story file with the above suggestions.
I'm embarrassed about the text boxes inside the captions, I didn't realise that you could type directly into them as the cursor doesn't show when opening captions. That would have likely been that solution, but as you've pointed out, duplicating the objects may also have been causing trouble.
And, thanks too for the quiz jumping to the second slide - sometimes these little hiccups aren't super important but frustrating to solve!
I'm glad I was able to help you, and no need to be embarrassed! That's how we all learn here: by trying new things and from our fellow community members. 😊

Hi, Joe.
Thank you for reaching out!

Sorry, I thought I had attached it :)
The main issue I need to fix is the text in the bubbles not aligning.

Thanks Maria, you were super helpful!
