Tab order and layers

Here's a post that might help: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/customizing-the-tab-order-of-slide-objects

Hi Andrew,

I'd recommend the new slide method - as the tab order that you can set is for a slide and all it's layers. 

Unfortunately no way to modify the close button associated with the lightboxes, so I see where you'd be stuck there. 

Keep us posted if you come up with another solution worth sharing with the community! 

Being able to set the tab order by layer would be a great addition.  In lieu of that at least being able to toggle between the layers while setting the tab order.  

Hi Karin,

Thanks for chiming in to share your thoughts as well. 

I'll add this conversation to the request that we are tracking which will allow us to pop back in here and update you when we can.

I am running into this issue today. I developed a 9 question true or false activity with individual feedback and, for accessibility purposes, this is a huge problem.

Forget that. I figured out how to fix this.

I would like to add another suggestion related to tab order. Currently in SL 360 you can only move one item at a time to re-order it in the tab order. I suggest that you could choose multiple items to move all the same time. You could do this hitting CTRL and click on the ones you want to select, then drag and drop the group of items to move them in the list. It is super time consuming to have to move each item one at a time.

Another suggestion is mirror the tab order to the order of the items in the timeline. The timeline items and the tab order could be synced so that any time changes are made, they are made in both places. This could also save some time especially when working with multiple layers. 

I'm running into this issue today working on a slide. I have 5 layers in addition to the base layer and I'm having to move each item one at a time in the tab order (which is basically in backwards order of what it should be). If you can provide me with any tips to do this more efficiently, I would love to hear suggestions! Thank you!
