Thanks, Jurgen.
Here is the reply I got from the Articulate Customer Support Engineer this morning:
The Slide Property will affect just the specific slide, not the entire course. You are also correct that the "resume saved state" resumes the state of the slide when the user revisits it. In your case, the behavior was caused by combining the "jump to slide when timeline ends" trigger and the slide's property to resume saved state. Here's how it goes:
1. You visit a slide with the "resume saved state" property enabled.
2. The slide jumps to the next slide at the end of its timeline.
3. The final state of that slide is saved.
4. You click back to return to that slide.
5. Since you resume its saved state, you return to the end of its timeline which will then activate the trigger to jump to the next slide.
In short, you return to the previous slide but are immediately taken to the next slide because of the trigger that fires at the end of its timeline.
