Trying to Resume Saved State of Slide...
Mar 08, 2018
I'm working on an eLearning and I have the Slide Property of "when revisiting" set to "Resume saved state". This slide has buttons which take the user to different slides, then back to this 'menu' slide. I would like the user to click all of the buttons before the the 'next' button is available. I have all of the triggers and states set correctly. However, when returning to the 'menu' slide the buttons are not in the down state as I expect them to be since I am revisiting the slide. I have attached images to show triggers, states, and the slide properties I have set.
Am I wrong to think that the states of the buttons - after being clicked - should be in the 'down' state when returning to this slide?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Kati
if you are using the built-in states I would expect them to be in the Visited state on return to the menu slide.
Yup - I am using the built in state of "down" for the button once clicked.
I would duplicate whatever your 'down' state is and call it 'visited' if that's how you want it to display - and you won't need triggers to do the change of state as Storyline knows what action to do for the built in states. Adding triggers can cause issues.

So, I changed the state to visited, and removed the triggers. All works now... except, I have a trigger for the 'next button' to be disabled until all buttons are in a 'visited' state. Now that does not work. I'd like the end user to go through the information before being able to move forward. I'm using the player's next button.
Is it, Change Next Button to Normal when All of Button 1, Button 2, Button 3 is visited?
Change the trigger to
change state of Next button to normal when timeline starts on the menu slide on condition that Button1 = visited and Button 2 = Visited etc - see if that works for you.
Thanks, Wendy! That suggestion worked. I appreciate your help!
Great Kati - glad you got it working and all the best with your project!
