Storyline - Slides set to Advance by User are Automatically Advancing

Sep 23, 2022

Hello,

I have several slides that are automatically advancing even though I have my properties set to "Advance by User" and the only Jump to Slide triggers I have are "jump to x slide when user clicks the next button."

The slide seems to advance as soon as a slide's media completes, but there's no trigger on the slides that tells it to do that.

This is happening when I preview in Storyline.

Without seeing the file, it's hard to diagnose. Here are the usual culprits:

Have you checked

  • triggers - 'jump to next slide when timeline ends' 
  • master slides - (if you are using them) advance when timeline end triggers
  • layers - advance when timeline end triggers
  • slide properties 'advance automatically' is not selected.

Hi Lindsey, 

Thanks for sharing a copy of your project file! 

I was also able to observe the same behavior on my end. I was able to control the advancing of the slide by enabling the feedback layers for the slide, but I understand that you prefer to have no feedback layers for your slides. 

I opened a support case on your behalf so we can have our support team take a look at your project file to check what's happening. Someone will be in touch with you shortly!
