I've noticed that some of the titles on my menu expand when you click on the title itself and on the arrow on the left, and others will only expand if you click on the arrow. I was wondering whether it has to do with whether the title slide concides with a new scene or is subtitle within a scene. Either way, its a bit incosistent and I'd be really greateful if you could share a work around this.
Happy to clarify this, and sorry for the confusion!
You can only click on a scene title to expand a scene if you are not viewing a slide in that scene. If you are viewing a slide in a scene, you'll only be able to click the arrow. Does that make sense?
I would prefer that the slide sections expand in an uniform way. E.g.: a subsection of slides would expand when you click on the title of the overarching slide and that would be valid for all subsections.
Thanks for the screencast, but I had something else in mind. I hereby attach a video of my project to show what I mean. It looks like every first subsection of a scene would expand when the title is clicked, but then the titles that come after it will only expand if you click on the arrow. I also have trouble keeping the very first scene collapsed when the course is initially viewed. I have set it to collapsed in the Player, but it still shows up expanded in preview.
Thanks for the video! It looks like your menu has several scenes and subsections, so I'd love to get a closer look at how you've set up your file.
Would you mind sharing it with us? If that works for you, you can upload your file privately to our support team here. We'll give it a test and let you know what we find!

Hi Alexandra!

Thanks Alyssa!
So, if I want the navigation to act otherwise, I need to rearrange the scenes?
Hi, Alexandra!
The menu will behave the same, even if you rearrange the scenes.
If you can tell me a bit more about what you're looking to do, there may be a workaround I can suggest!

Hi Alexandra! Thanks for clarifying.
I thought recording a video would help to explain how the menu works – check out that video here!
If you'd prefer the menu to behave differently, please let us know in a feature request. Thanks!

Hi Alyssa,
I just shared the file. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for sending it over, Alexandra! My teammate, Cleo, is taking a look at your file as we speak. You'll hear from him soon!
