I guess it all depends on how long you'd like to keep the slide objects/content visible for the learner to read what's on the slide. In the Slide Properties, you may choose whether slides advance "Automatically" or "By user". If slides advance "Automatically", a trigger "Jump to slide next slide when the timeline ends on this slide" will be automatically created in the trigger panel (see attached photo). If your timeline is 5 seconds long, a slide will auto-advance after it reaches 5 seconds. You can extend or shrink the timeline as needed. You can also turn off Slide navigations and gestures in the Slide Properties, such as Next and Previous buttons (attached photo), to prevent the learner to advance before the timeline ends on a slide.
Hi Nedim,
Thank you for your very helpful advice along with a visual (added bonus, thanks!). I did add triggers to the first 2 slides using the timeline as the way the course advances and it worked perfect. I am going to try using the Slide Properties option you mentioned however, to see how that works as well, good practice for me!
Thanks again Nedim, have a great day.
