Return to current slide from the summary
Mar 07, 2024
Hi there !
I'm currently working on a serious game on Storyline 360 (current version) and I'm trying to understand how the learner can go back to the slide he previously was on.
So my issue is that I'd like my learners, at any time during their training or when they're on any slide of the chapter, to be able to go back to the begining dashboard, via un button. But, once they're on the dashboard, and they feel like continuing the chapter they were on, I'd like them to be able to back where they've stopped their chapter. For example, learner called B is on slide 3/7 on chapter 2. B wants to check something on the dashbaord, so they click on the button made to go back there. Once B is on the dashboard and satisfied with everything, B clicks on "chapter 2" in the bashboard and arrives on slide 3/7, not on slide 1/7.
Is that something possible please ? Thanks for the help !

You could let them use the PREV button (in the Player, or a custom one on the slide), since the "jump to previous" trigger goes to the most recently viewed slide.
Another simple solution would be to have the dashboard open in a lightbox (instead of jumping to that slide). That would let the user review the dashboard without leaving the slide they're on.
Otherwise, you need to use variables to track the slide they're on when they jump back to the dashboard. And each "chapter" buttons would need one conditional trigger for every slide in the chapter. In other words, jump to slide 1 if the variable indicates they were on that slide, jump to 2 if the variable indicates they were on that slide, etc. etc. etc.
FYI: Even if you don't use variables and conditions for this situation, it’s worth the effort to learn about them, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s the User Guide info:
