Exit Course in Storyline

We are embedding Storyline files in our LMS. I have added an "Exit Button" at the end of the course. When you click the Exit button, the learner gets feedback telling them they can now close the window, but the user must click a very tiny (NOT obvious) "X" in the upper left. Is there a way to have a button in the course that actually closes the course?

    If they are embedded it cannot close the window, and if it is opening a new window sometimes the LMS will not allow the window to be closed.

    Depending on how your LMS responds, you may be able to use an Execute Javascript Trigger, attached to your Exit button, with either of the following:

    window.top.close();

    or:

    window.parent.close();

    In my case, Cornerstone SBX (aka Saba) does not play well with allowing a course to close itself, even though the course has successfully returned all of the relevant learner data. Other LMS' I've worked with, including Absorb, SumTotal, Pathlore, Learn.com, and SCORM Cloud, have no issues with the course handling that aspect.
