Morning everyone. We develop our courses in individual 'modules' and then import them into a master course. This allows us flexibility to tailor courses to client requirements. One thing (all) of us have noticed is that when you import one story to another, you tend to get 'phantom' next buttons or transitions appearing in the master course.
This tends to take quite a bit to QA when your course is 2 hours long.
Has anyone else noticed this? We have checked the original files against the master and it seems to be a random occurrence.
Alyssa, thanks for replying. It's not so much that it's just that when I I import the story there is only 1 trigger going to the next slide (for example 'next slide when timeline ends etc). Sometimes it just seems to add in either another trigger saying a similar thing or adding a random 'go to next slide when next button is pressed' (even though it wasn't there before).
I thought it was my mistake but my colleague verified the same thing happening completely independently this morning.
Ah, I see! That's not something I've heard of in the forums, so I'd like to take a closer look.
Could you share one of the original modules with me? I'd like to test importing it into a new Storyline file. You can attach the .story file here using the ADD ATTACHMENT button.
Alyssa, I will do that, many thanks. It is a bit random, so hope it doesn't prove to be a waste of time. Can I send this privately? This is company property and I need to be careful.
Absolutely! I created a case for you--use this link to upload the file directly to your case. Also, be sure to let me know what version of Storyline you're using. Thanks!

Hey Mike!
Are you seeing the Next buttons appear in the Storyline Player? Try this:

Hi Mike,
Thanks for sending over your file. I'll give it a test and let you know what I find!
