Custom "Back to Top" button (Skip navigation)
Hey All. I am creating a custom course with my own navigation buttons. I am using the Modern Player. I was not seeing the "Back to Top" button while doing 508 testing. I found that I have to have at least one of the "Player Tabs" within the Player menu selected for this to be used. We do not want to use the Menu and we have custom buttons for all of the other options (Resources, Glossary...). The only way of using Back to Top is by adding a New Player Tab like EXIT for example. This is frustrating. I don't want to do this. Is this the only way?
I know I can create my own Back to Top button and use it to Set Focus but of course it only sets focus to items on the slide and NOT items from with the Master Slide. Also, how would I make the BtT button invisible and then visible when tabbed to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi RussLickteig,
You're right about the behavior. In the modern player, the built-in Back to Top / skip navigation only appears when at least one player tab is enabled. If all tabs are turned off, Storyline disables the feature, so adding even a single tab is currently the only way to keep it.
If you go the custom route instead, you can make your Back to Top button start Hidden and switch to Normal when it receives focus or when the user first presses Tab.
If you want help setting up either option, I’m happy to walk through it.
You’re also welcome to reach out through a support case. And if you’re comfortable sharing your Storyline file, we can take a closer look at your project.
