You definitely can! There are many ways to do this, but my preferred method would be to create a custom state for your buttons and then use the 'Change state' trigger to set the state of the button.
I've attached fully working demo complete with a button that displays another layer so you can see how I setup this method. Feel free to explore or modify the solution to suit your needs!
Also, I wanted to invite you to our tips and tricks webinars. At 11am ET every Thursday, our training team hops on a live call to answer top questions from our customers.
It's super casual (and they're super smart!), so it's a great place to get expert tips and answers to frequently asked questions from our online community. In short, everything you need to create incredible online learning! You can register for the next call here: https://articulate.fyi/3ZiKgu9
And don't worry if you can't make it, because everyone who registers will get a recording sent to them afterwards!
The base and all its layers are one slide, so they have access to a lot (but not all) of the objects and triggers on each other. The trigger you are looking for is “Change state of Button X to Hidden when timeline starts on this layer if state of ButtonX is not equal to selected”. You would use that on each layer if you put new buttons on each layer.
If you let the base buttons show through on each layer, then the trigger is “Change state of ButtonX to hidden when [user clicks or whatever action shows layer] if ButtonX is not equal Selected”.
