Bear with me if this has already been answered somewhere in the thousands of questions about the NEXT button.
I have a slide with 10 layers: Layer1 [the base]; Layer2; Layer3 ... Layer10.
I want to use the NEXT button to sequentially reveal the next layer in the series each time the user clicks it, and jump to the next slide from Layer10.
I've tried setting a trigger on each layer, doesn't work. I know I could use 10 slides (strikes me as inefficient)
I know I could hide the NEXT button and set a button on each layer to reveal the next, but that seems inelegant.
You could use a 'LayerCounter' variable that is increased every time the Next button is clicked. Based on the variable value, a layer is shown and once the last layer is reached, the next click would go to the next slide. See attached a quick example with five layers.
Sorry you couldn't see Michael's attachment, sometimes it doesn't show if it's the only response and it's been verified. Now that you and I have both replied, you should see the attachment there within his post.

Sounds like you will have to program your Prev button as you did the Next button to perform for your custom set up. Perhaps slides vs layers would be best :)
Not sure if anyone in the community has set something similar up and would be able to chime in and assist with your design.
