Change default advance from "Auto" to "By User"

Hi Kris.

The easiest way that I am aware of is to go to Articulate > Slide Properties, and then select all and choose the option for the user to advance the slides, which will then be applied to them all; this is part of my routine. Personally, I think it should be the default OR we should be able to define it as the global default preferences, which of course doesn't seem to exist in Articulate.

Is there an answer here for how to stop auto-advance on PPT/Presenter slides?

This is an example that just popped up (again, it's been around for ages) last week. In this instance, it's from QuizMaker, but again, we need a Global Preferences GUI for all of Articulate. The solution is as follows:

(Inside quiz) Player > Features [ ] Require user to scroll to bottom on longer questions UNCHECKED!!

Attached is a screenshot that a user took of what they were experiencing. I recognized it immediately.

It should be a global setting for anything involving Articulate and slides. Every time I add a slide (from PowerPoint) I have to go back and change the setting to user advance or I'll have an auto advance when I publish in Presenter; that's kind of a pain. 

And this issue goes back seven years. Would it be that difficult to make a place for global settings?

This is happening when I imported slides from Powerpoint not Presenter.  Are you saying this cannot be changed?  Then why would you want to import from Powerpoint at all?  

I think the heart of the issue is to have global settings so that we can make our own choice about all Presenter defaults, instead of having the software impose a default on us; that's pretty much a standard feature for modern software. Not having this ability is extremely annoying to those of us who process hundreds of courses.

Hi,

Is this still the case? I would like to turn off auto-advance for Presenter and have that be the default for all my users' licenses. Thanks.

Hi Cheryl and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

It looks like this conversation is a bit dated and was specific to Presenter.

I see that you mention StoryView, but perhaps you were elaborating on Nancy's share above :)

Let us know if you are you running into an issue that we can help you out with.

Hi Tom,

By default, slides in Presenter courses advance automatically upon completion, but you can change it so learners control when slides advance. But you can change this within the slide properties, as shown here. To change the advance behavior for all slides in your course, press Ctrl+A to select all the slides, then click the Advancehyperlink in the Properties panel on the right side of the window.

oops, never mind - you were talking about Presenter, not Storyline.

You can't change the default but you can select all the slides in the "Slide Properties" and then change the advance property. This will apply to all the selected slides.
