Hi, Matt and Faffie.
Thank you for reaching out!
While you can't access the Scene.ElapsedTime or Slide.ElapsedTime values from a different scene/slide, one suggestion would be to assign it to a variable, which you would then display on your end slide.
This will look differently depending on how you set up the course (is the navigation restricted? How many slides are in a scene? Does the user click a button to go to another scene? etc.), but as examples:
- Set Slide1Time to variable Slide.ElapsedTime when the timeline ends on this slide.
- Set Scene1Time to variable Scene.ElapsedTime when the user clicks Next.
I hope this helps!
