navigating up and down between slides
Sep 06, 2016
Hi
I know that a few years back there was a post regarding the vertical scrolling capability of Storyline. I would really like my learners to navigate through a project, by navigating up and down through the slides. Is there a way to do this? I understand this wasn't a possibility a few years back. I have added a transition, but of course the push (cover from bottom) only works if the learner is scrolling down, this won't work if they want to go back to a previous slide. I have made custom arrow buttons and the top and bottom of my slides. Could anyone offer any thoughts/ideas on what I could do to make this work please?
Thank you!

Hi Tamsin.
What does your content look like on each slide? Is it complex, or is it simple static content?

Hi Tamsin,
There isn't a way to change the transitions based on how the user is navigating the course, so hopefully Chris has an idea to share with you here!
Hi Chris
It's complex - I have interactions on most of the slides, I have attached an example for you to see here. Would you happen to have an idea on how I might achieve a deep scrolling effect? I wanted to try and implement something similar to how you use most websites - scrolling down through the content, and back up again.
Thanks for your help both
Hi Tamsin.
The only thought I had was using path animations on the objects instead of transitions on the slides, but that would only be feasible if you used a very simple layout with just a few objects on a slide. Your slides are obviously more complex than that.
Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. You might have to take comfort in the thought that those scrolling pages on web sites are probably just a current fad that will go away at some point. :) Used to be that websites all had scroll bars in the early days, then someone decided that it was too much work for the user to have to scroll through a web page and scroll bars became evil. Now someone has decided its easier for the user to scroll up and down a website rather than going to different pages, so scrolling is back in again. It's like bell bottom jeans. :)
Sorry I couldn't help.

Erm...if you're still looking for a way out, maybe Rise can help. Here's a demo by a very capable Articulate Staff member: https://rise.articulate.com/share/q20w1Ijt1ZXTYYI1#/?_k=9i6nbx
