My one concern, and what you may be seeing is if the timeline finishes prior to the other layers being visited, then your final layer will not automatically open.
You could either have another button appear to prevent confusion or you can extend the timeline if needed.
Ok so should I make the base time line as long as the longest on the layers?
Actually the base time line is already longer than the layer base lines so should I make the layers timeline slightly longer. I can see it worked for you by your video! Thanks
It's moreso a matter of how long you think your user will hang out on the slide :)
I see that you have the base slide set to pause when viewing layers, which is great. If they are not taking action on the slide though, the timeline may run out on them.
I'll let you decide what may be best for your learners.
I initially extended the base timeline to last a bit longer than the layers but then I had a moment of clarity and realised that I was just making things too hard for myself and re set the trigger to show the slide if all the buttons (that launch the layers ) were "visited" on condition that the crosses to exit (on the layers) had also been turned to "visited" first and this works...hooray and thanks for your advice.

want to show layer text..with for 3 buttons, I clicked on 1st button I can see the text with all buttons but when I click on 2nd button , I can see text only, I want to show still previous text after clicking next button..
If I'm understanding correctly, you would like the other layer text to appear as you progress?
Perhaps like this:
You can accomplish this by editing the slide layer properties to allow other slide layers to be seen (by unselecting the option to hide other slide layers):
Let me know if this is what you needed. Your updated file is attached as well.

Yeah, you're trying to show Intravenous twice (on timeline end and on click) and intra-muscular not at all
Ah thanks very much.
So just to be sure should the trigger be on the base slide or on all the other layers, or both? Thanks
Hi Nick!
Great question. On the base layer is where this would be needed.
Take a look at your updated file attached here.
Hi Leslie thanks, for some reason it is now not showing the layer, any ideas?
Hi Nick!
You're not seeing that final layer?
Here's what I'm seeing.

Ok I have sorted it.

Hello Mayuree and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I'm not sure I'm following your question here. Do you have a sample slide in a .story file that we could take a look at?
Hi!.. Leslie, :)
Please find attached .story file
I hope you will do it perfect.
Thanks in advance.
