Hi Sofie,

You can certainly add a button to the first slide that appears when all of the categories have been completed.

You would do this with triggers and variables. If I was doing this, first I would add the button to the first slide and change its state to hidden.

Next I would create three True/False variables (initial value of False), named something like Category1, Category2 and Category3.

On the final slide of each category I would add a trigger that adjusts the corresponding variable to True when the timeline starts or the learner clicks the submit button.

Then on the first slide (with the green buttons) I would add another trigger that changes the state of the button we added at the beginning to Normal when the value of all three of my variables were equal to True.

I hope this helps but let me know if you need more info.

Hi David,

Thank you, this sounds like a perfect solution! The button doesn't show up, but I haven't used true/false variables before so I'm sure that I just missed something. I followed your steps like this:

I added the button and changed the state to hidden (when timeline starts).
I created the variables with value False.
I added a trigger on the final slide of each category (Set "category1" equal to True when timeline starts).
I added a trigger on the first slide (change state of Button to Normal when timeline starts If category1 is equal to True and category2 is equal to True and category3 is equal to True).

Did I miss anything here?

The only thing I can think of is that you're setting the initial button state to hidden using the timeline, you don't need a trigger to do this in the first instance.

If this doesn't work I'd be happy to look at your file for you to see what's happening?

Hi Sofie, 

Another good troubleshooting tip is to add the Variable references to that first slide so that you can confirm that they did change and that your trigger should execute. 

You may also want to play around with the slide property settings and set it to "reset to initial state" so that everything begins again.

As David mentioned, with your permission, we can always take a look at your project file to investigate what’s happening. You can upload for the community using the Add Attachment button. If you’d prefer to keep the file private, please share with me directly by uploading it here. I’ll delete it when I’m done troubleshooting.

I removed the trigger and also set the slide property to "reset to initial state", Works perfectly! Thank you so much David and Ashley!

Glad you got sorted!
