Previous button

Previous slide is historic unless you add a trigger to jump to another slide

Yes, indeed! However, as mentioned in my post - whenever I go to previous in the beginning of one scene, I'd like the player 'next btn' to go to the last slide of the previous scene. This doesn't happen. It goes to the first slide of the previous scene. Is this normal? I even reset the slide, but nada.

Ps...I am checking the rest of the course and realized the next button skips over quiz slides and go directly to the scene that is before the quiz slide. I want to to function it is historic role as previous no matter where I am in the course. Really odd behavior.

Hi Kai, 

The default trigger for the Prev button, which jumps to the last visited slide, is hidden in Articulate Storyline. If you customize the Prev button with an additional trigger—for example, to adjust a variable—it replaces the default trigger. As a result, you'll need to add another trigger to restore the default Jump to previous slide functionality.

Custom triggers for the previous button might look something like the image below.

 Since it sounds like some of your other triggers are misbehaving, it may be worth checking into the following first and then if the behavior persists we'll want to take a look at your .story file:

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
• You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.
• Try importing your existing project into a new .story file. 

Thanks Ashley! I couldn't wait for a response, so I went ahead and applied the new trigger to all the slides that were misbehaving. ( Just saw your post).

I am good on all the suggestions you mentioned above, hence my confusion. I didn't try importing into a new story. file. If this persists, I will definitely go that route first. Especially so if the file was created by someone else and I have to do troubleshooting.

Thanks!

Kai

No problem Kai - and keep us posted if you need anything else!
