I've set a variable to change once all buttons on the slide have been visited. This variable change is meant to trigger a button appearing. It works when I preview it on the single slide, but not when I preview the entire project. At least not usually. Although sometimes it does work when I preview the entire project.
It's difficult to troubleshoot without seeing the file. Best guess: I've seen this issue occur when the same variable is used for different interactions. For example, a T/F variable might be changed to True on completion of the first interaction the user encounters. Well, then it's already True when the user reaches the second interaction.
If that's the problem, the solution is simple: use a unique variable to track completion of each interaction.
If that's not the problem, I suggest you upload a copy of your file, so someone can look at it.

Hi Judy
Thank you kindly for your help. That actually did the trick!
I did notice the issue occurs again when return to the slide though.
I changed the when revisiting setting on these slides to resume to saved state and that worked, so I guess that's my workaround.
Thanks again!
It's a setting in the program because it's best practice. Best practice is not a workaround. :)
