Character Issue on Layer
Thank you Luciana and Nathan for your replies below, much appreciated. My apologies for not showing you what I was seeing in my original post🤦♀️ I'm unable to launch Peek right now (an issue I'll deal with separately) but have attached a PDF containing some screen shots of what the issue was (it occurred in both Preview and when published to Review 360). Interesting that neither of you saw the same. It was helpful to know that the basics of what I had done was correct since it displayed properly for you.
In the meantime, I was able to fix the problem by deleting character from layer Feedback 3, inserting new character Demond, creating states for each character, and manually creating the triggers (see attached .story file). The only differences from what I had done before were a) Demond instead of Phoebe, Iris, or Claire and b) manually creating the triggers instead of copying from the Base Layer. Not sure why that worked but, as long as it did, I don't care! Thanks again for your help.

When you preview, or when you publish? Published, I had no issues with the character swapping on any slide or layer. Previewed, there were issues but previewing sometimes breaks functionality when things depend on changing variables, states or timeline triggers. If your issue is only related to previewing, then I wouldn't worry about it and just publish to check things.
The only real issue I had with the preview was if replay was selected, then the state changes were not triggered because the timeline triggers do not seem to fire as expected on replay. This is an issue on many projects. Otherwise, it seemed to work as expected, at least on my machine.
