I have a group of 4 elements that display at the start of my Storyline. When I grouped them, the group defaults to "Show Until End" and the entire group displays. When I shorten the group's display time, all 4 elements display at first, but 3 of the 4 disappear almost immediately. Any ideas?
If you go to that group in the timeline you can open the group and see each individual item within it. Is each item in the group set to Show Always? That's bitten me before.
Also check the animations for the group and for each individual item. I've noticed that sometimes once items are grouped the animations are still applied to each individual item, but you can't "see" it as easily. So check the animations on each item to make sure they are not set to disappear.
Maribeth, can you show a screenshot? Do you want the items to be shown always? If so, maybe set each item to "Show Always" or "Show Until End" (if they aren't already).
I don't want them to show always or until the end, I want the entire group to disappear at around 14 sec. The problem is, part of the group disappears at 1 sec.
If I set the group to display until the end, all 4 elements remain visible. It's only when I shorten the display timeframe that part of the group disappears.

Thanks for the response, Kristin. The group doesn't have any animations, nor does any element within the group. And, nothing is set to Show Always...

I would open up the timeline for the group, I suspect the items do not go until the end
Ah - that was the issue - thank you!
