Storyline: Read the marker text before proceeding

Resolved - Its working

Hi Manpreet - 

First: Welcome to E-Learning Heroes. I'm glad you got your first question answered so quickly

Another option is to use a trigger to evaluate when the marker(s) are closing. If you select your marker, you'll notice you have some new events at the bottom of the list: Content opening and content opening.

You can evaluate the marker closing and enable the next button or any other action.

Here's a very quick overview on how that works:

This was super helpful for me - I have a question taking it a step further... I have 4 markers on a slide, two on one layer, and two on another. I'd like to make the button state 'normal' only after the learner has closed ALL markers... Any ideas on this?

Hi Sara, 

This thread is a bit older - and if the markers are on layers, their status is only on the layer so you may want to look at using variables on the layer itself to change behavior based on the value of the variable once the user returns to the base slide layer. 

Hi Ashley - Do you know if there are instructions on how to add the variables for the layers to change behavior based on the variables?  I have the same situation as Sara Strickler.

Hi Jamie and welcome to E-Learning Heroes 😊

Thanks for contacting us and sharing that you have a similar set-up need to Sarah here.

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to understand your goals and possibly help you with any triggers and variables. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
