Hello Maribel!

Are you in Story View or Slide View? If you're in Story View and selecting all slides, the Slide Properties shouldn't be locked. If you don't have any slides selected, the Slide Properties can't be changed and will look locked. 

I'm happy to take a look at your project if you want to attach the .story file to this public discussion. You can also upload it privately in a support case.

I've imported a PowerPoint and then added a few graded question slides.

I cannot change the slide advance properties from automatic. Is it the questions that have caused this? If so, what is the solution. Do I have import again, change the setting, then add the questions? Seems a bit of a pain if I'm honest.....

Hi Scott! I just tested this on my end, and I'm having trouble replicating your issue.

After importing some PowerPoint slides into Storyline 360 and adding a couple of graded question slides, I can change how the slide advances for multiple slides, like how Wendy explains here or each slide individually.

I want to help get to the bottom of this! Could you share your file with me? And I'd be happy to dig in further!
