I've been previewing my slides as I go in my scene to make sure all my triggers are functioning. Now I've completed the entire scene I went to preview scene and now several of my triggers aren't working?? Closed the scene preview, went to check slide and they worked on slide preview again.... ugh. The triggers are state changes for the most part. Which way will it publish? Like the slide preview or the scene preview??
Hi Edie! I'm not sure I understand what you are describing here or why they would be different. Are you utilizing the same variables on each of your slides perhaps? That could cause issue.
Would you be able to share your .story file for us to take a look?
Depending on how theses slides are linked throughout the scene that could by why the triggers are not working as expected. It would publish the same as an entire preview of the course, so if you're having a difficult time figuring out what the issue is, you are welcome to share a copy of the .story file here with us to take a look at.
In general, the built-in states, (especially Visited) are at their most reliable within the same slide. If you visit other slides, they can get confused, and that may be why things aren't working when you preview the whole scene. Ashley is right, if there is any discrepancy in how it previews, previewing the entire project is the closest to what will happen when it is published.
Ok- so I have a trigger on a pic that takes them to another slide. I also have a trigger that changes the state when the pic is clicked. It does what it is suppose to when I preview the slide but when I preview the scene, it doesn't? What do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks for sharing your file and allowing me to take a peek.
It looks like you are jumping to another slide before state changes are allowed to occur, which is probably the issue you are reporting here.
Articulate Storyline lets you apply multiple triggers to the same object. You can also apply triggers to master slides and content slides. Here are the rules regarding the order in which all these triggers get executed when learners view your published course.

It's big and after I tried to preview scene and the "meet the team" slide 1,40 didn't do all it's "tricks" I didn't preview the scene any further...
The file you attached here shows 0 bytes?
I'm trying, it says it's 189MB... Did I mention I was new and self taught:)
Ok- trying a link to it
