Is it possible to paste a trigger to all of my slides at once? The specific trigger I need to have on every slide is to disable the next button until the timeline ends. I know that takes 2 triggers. It's time consuming to have to go to each slide to paste.
Also, my keyboard shortcut for copy and paste will not work.
Have you tried putting the trigger on the slide master - that might shortcut the process for you. Or alternatively, you could add the menu restriction in the player, that has automatic disabling of the next button built in.
I know that this is an old post. We have a presentation done using Storyline that we would like to add triggers to for a simple laser-pointer clicker . So I added Page Up & Page Down triggers to my Master and all the layouts contained therein. But for some reason, these triggers added to the updated Master pages do not appear in the actual slides.
We're talking hundreds of slides here. Isn't there a way to reapply a master slide to my existing slides so that the master slide triggers transfer over?
Triggers on the Slide Master will not appear on the slides themselves, but they should still work on all slides.
It may be that you need to select all slides within a scene, right-click and select Apply Layout. This will ensure that the latest version of the Slide Master (including triggers) is applied to that group of slides.
Have you published the course and tested it on a web server or LMS with the laser-pointer clicker yet?
That is really good news. I didn’t realize the triggers from the Master are there – just can’t be seen. Whew! This saves a lot of cutting and pasting – Thanks!
Hi Alyssa. I appreciate the response. When I preview a scene in Storyline, the page-up/down functionality appears to work fine using my keyboard. Trouble is, when I preview the entire package in Storyline, the Page-up/down using my keyboard does not work. Iw ill try publishing to see what happens but figure if its not working in Preview, it prob won't function in published version. My file is almost 700 MB so I cannot upload to y9ur system.
I saved it out in CD format and opened it on my PC. Unfortunately the key nav does not function. In an attempt to reduce file size I greatly reduced the number of slides/scenes but the file size remains about the same. Is there a way I can send you a file that is 680 MB?
There is no file upload limit if you share directly with our Support Team. They'd be happy to take a look at the original 700 MB file if you're able to share with them!
Let us know if you do share that way and we can follow along!

Unfortunately, there's no way to paste triggers onto multiple slides at the same time, or even to paste two triggers at the same time.
Hi Maggie,

I need the next button. Putting the trigger on the slide master didn't work. I guess I'm out of luck.
Hey Maggie - It may save some time to do this functionality from Story View. I'm attaching a short Peek video here to demonstrate.

I went ahead and submitted a case (01843563). I will update when I find out more.
Thanks for letting us know that you reached out to the support team, Bart. I can see that Peter is working with you.
