I have been looking into using Articulate Storyline to create systems training. So far so good, but now I'm a bit stuck.
I have inserted a screen recording video using the "step-by-step - View mode Steps" method. I would like the timeline to pause at a certain point so the learner can have time to take in some additional information before continuing.
Any suggestions how I can pause the timeline (without the need for the user to trigger the pause)?
Thanks Helen. This is great solution. Thanks for the example too.
Thanks Harri. You offer an alternative to Helen's solution in that you don't need to create a layer. I don't know if i'm missing something but I could not get this to work...
I didn't need off-stage objects to pause a Layer timeline without user participation.
CONTEXT: On top of my base layer I created different layers that are invoked according to a user-informed variable. When the user is then sent to one of those layers, the timeline stops until the user selects a button which sends them to a different Scene.
To get the timeline to auto stop, on the layer:
1. TRIGGER: Set up a trigger to pause the timeline at a Cue point.

Hi Kevin
The easiest way to pause the slide timeline is to open a layer, and in order to trigger it at a certain point in the timeline follow these steps:
See the example on slide one of this quick sequence
Hope this helps,

Hi Kevin,
You could try pausing it by using an off-screen shape.
Hope that helps.

1. TRIGGER: Set up a trigger to pause the timeline at a Cue point.
2. SLIDE LAYER PROPERTIES: select these:
Hide other slide layers.
Allow Seeking: NO.
Present as: LAYER.
Prevent user from clicking other layers.
Pause timeline of base layer.
When revisiting: Reset to Initial State.
