I added a couple of checkboxes to a slide and want the transition from each of those choices to be slower. For example, when a user checks the box, I want them to see the checkmark as it transitions. Right now, it transitions so fast you don't see the check until you come back to that slide. However, when I set the transitions duration, it doesn't affect those specific transitions.
You say users "don't see the check until you come back to the slide." So, as I understand it, the checkbox has a trigger to jump to another slide, but you want to ensure there's time for the user to see the checkmark appear before advancing to the other slide.
If my understanding is correct, you'll need to add a delay. Unfortunately, there's no "When" in the Trigger Wizard for indicating "1 sec [or other time] after the click." So you'd have to create your own delay. Here's one option:
Create a shape in the area off the slide.
Give that shape a Motion Path animation that lasts as long as you want the delay. For more info about Motion Paths:
A perhaps simpler method is to show a blank layer when the checkbox is clicked. Set the layer to hide when its timeline ends, and to jump to the other slide when the timeline ends. Be sure these triggers are in this order.
Of course, learning to use motion paths to time activities provides you a lot more learning and opportunities.
As is often the case, Walt comes through with the simpler solution. (And it's kind of embarrassing that I didn't automatically think of using a blank layer, since I recently posted about that very subject...)

Brilliant! I learned so much by completing this one thing- Thank you!!
