Revisiting a Visited Button
Jun 18, 2020

Hello! I am building a course in Storyline in which I'd like to feature 8 different principles. I have set up each button to navigate to a dedicated slide and automatically return to the top slide (pictured attached) when the timeline ends on that slide. Users are prevented from proceeding until they have visited all buttons.
If a user clicks a button is shown as "visited" to re-visit a principle, it does not navigate back to the dedicated slide but rather replays the top page (e.g., If a user has visited "Security" and clicks the button again, it does not re-visit "Security." It stays on the selected page.)
I searched through previous posts, but I could not figure out how to fix this. Any ideas?

Hi Ivy,
I am not sure if this is exactly what you are after, but what I have done in the attached example is to create a main menu and three option slides to replicate a portion of your principles setup.
When the user clicks on one of the options, they are jumped to the appropriate slide. When the slide timeline completes (only set to 3 seconds on each slide for this exercise) a variable (Option1Complete, Option2Complete or Option3Complete) is changed from False to True and the user is then jumped back to the main menu slide.
Once all three variables are True, the Continue button appears and allows the user to jump to the next slide.
The user is currently able to revisit any of the options as often as they want to, but you can now use the variables in any way you wish in order to provide greater control over the menu.
For example, you could prevent the user revisiting options or you could ensure that they are all visited in the correct order.
Hope this helps, but if you have any queries, just get back to me here.
