In my current course, all slides but the last in a scene move to the next slide when the timeline ends. I've noticed, although the trigger says Previous moves to the last slide, it's moving to the first slide in every scene. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
The "Previous Slide" option will actually take you to the last slide visited rather than the slide that is before it in sequential order. To jump to the previous slide in sequential order, you'd need to select that specific slide in the trigger wizard. Something like in the image below:
Thanks, Alyssa. This course is very linear, so it's moving, for example, from slide 1.1 to 1.2, 1.3, then to 1.4.
In a scene with those four slides mentioned, when I'm on slide 1.3 or 1.4, it jumps me back to slide 1.1. Shouldn't slide 1.3 take me back to 1.2 (assuming that was the last slide visited)?
Yes, you are correct. Would you mind sharing your project file here so I can take a peek into it? Just use the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the reply window.
After a good night's sleep, it's working fine. Kind of like going to the doctor's office. : ) I swear that's what I was seeing yesterday. The only thing I can think of is it was on those slides with a layer, and it was skipping the layer and going back to the base layer of the slide. I just tested that and that's how it's working, and I assume that's how it should work when you have layers?
Hi Cheryl! I can relate - sometimes an issue I experience one day disappears the next day! Not sure who really needed to take a break, me or Storyline. ;)
You are correct that the previous and next buttons jump to the base layer of previously viewed slides, not previously viewed slide layers.
Be sure to reach out if you need any further assistance!
If I may ask for advice, I have 5 scenes in my presentation and at the end I have made a slide with some trigger tabs that revisit a selected scene. Question is when thae selected scene has been revisited how can I get the last end of the revisited scene to return to the end slide where the triggers are? Hope that was clear enough. Thanks in advance
