Create individual "Invalid answer" in a hostspot question

Dear Storyline-user,

how can I change the "invalid answer" for a hotspot question (if no answer was given and "send" was clicked immediately), i.e. not only the text and the color, but make it completely new?

Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Su,

    Thanks for reaching out about this! The "invalid answer" box that appears when you don't answer a question is a built-in feature that can't be edited.

    You can create an "invalid answer" layer that works similarly to the "correct" or "incorrect" layer in your slide layers menu. Here's a conversation discussing that option complete with a sample file. 

    I hope this helps!

  • FYI: It's true that you can't change the look of the built-in dialog box used for the "Invalid Answer" message. However, you can edit the text. That's done in the Text Labels part of the Player:
