Some users don't have audio, and I have formatted every screen to reveal text in paragraphs. The client prefers we keep the text reveal staged for all, but allow users to click Next or some other icon to reveal all base layer text - essentially to default out of the staged reveal.
I have looked high and low and can't find a way to do this. I was thinking adding a trigger to jump to the end of the timeline, but this doesn't appear to be an option. Is there a simple solution or workaround here?
At the very least, I need to keep the slide from advancing until all the screen content has been revealed. As it stands, some users are clicking Next and advancing to the next slide without having seen all the content.
I think you might want to place your text, or even everything onto a layer. Leave the base layer blank (or just have basic objects on it), then a button/trigger that when clicked reveals a layer.
You can set it so that you have a trigger on the base layer that says "show layer 1 when timeline starts". That will show the next layer immediately and you could treat this first layer as your base layer.
Thank you, Tracy. This looks helpful, although I'm not sure what would happen with the audio, if someone has audio access and elects to click the "reveal all" button. Would the audio continue?

Here's an idea of what I am thinking, but perhaps not explaining well. It's potentially a lot of duplicate work, but I think the effect is achieved.
Note the storyview is all blank though....that's troublesome as a designer.
