Is that inside the layer on on the main timeline? I have the button in a layer and it's not giving me the "This Slide" option.
My apologies if I misread your set up. Yes, it looks like if the button is on the layer - your choices are to pause that layer, or to insert a new layer, but not pause the base layer.

Hello Hollie!
You can set each slide properties to Pause the timeline of the Base Layer from the slide properties tab:

That won't work. The layer shows on timeline start. I don't want it to pause the timeline until the pause button is clicked on.

I didn't think so. I submitted a feature request. Thanks.
Hi Hollie,
Probably too late for you as this post is two years old, but for anyone else having the same problem, I just got around it as follows:
1. Create a new layer (call it pause) and in its layer properties tick 'Pause timeline of base layer'.
2. Create a new trigger to show the layer 'pause' when user clicks on your pause button.
Hope this is helpful.
Never to late to share a solution Fran, thanks for popping in here.
