Scene slides appearing horizontally, as triggers to move forward are within the masterslide

Sep 07, 2023

Hey there

Can anyone tell me how I can get my slides showing in a scene vertically and not horizontally? My trigger buttons for 'next' and 'previous' slides have been created in the master slide, which is used as the base for all content slides, so I don't have the triggers within each slide.

Thanks

You could go apply a swipe trigger to the slide to create the link at the slide level so you can see the slides vertically. Then turn them off when you publish.

  • Go into Story View and select all the slides.
  • Then go to slide properties on the right side and deselect the prev/next buttons but select the swipe options.

What you see in Story View is merely thumbnails for your convenience. It has no connection to what the learner sees. 

What the learner sees is controlled by the triggers.

Some people cannot overcome their OCD enough to live with that. If you can, you don’t need to make any changes.

There is no recommendation about putting triggers on masters, except for creating the effect you need for the learners.
