edit the "invalid answer" look and feel
How do you modify the action of the Invalid Answer feedback? Mine is jumping to the next slide and allowing the participant to skip over the question entirely! I know that I can format the look of the Invalid Answer, but how to I change the functionality?

Hi there, Sandra. The invalid answer feedback works behind the scenes, and there isn't access to the trigger attached to the "Ok" button that appears.
- Is this happening on every question?
- If it's happening on only one question slide, what are the triggers and slide properties for that slide? Feel free to attach some screenshots of these areas.
If you'd like to attach your file for me to test, I'm happy to have a look! With your permission, I'd investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

You can bypass seeing this Invalid Answer screen at all Sandra.
I disliked it so much, for a couple of reasons (1. that it's pretty ugly, and 2. that you can't fully customise it to fit in with your design) that I've implemented a workaround so I NEVER see it again!
I use a custom "Submit" button, with an initial "Hidden" state - so the learner can't progress until they've selected an answer, at which point a trigger changes the state of the custom Submit button to "Normal".
I also dislike the Resume screen - but I just change the setting in the Player and haven't even looked at whether this can be customised or not...
You can see a live example of how I've modified this functionality here where you can also download the free template and see how I've put this together.
