Hover State "Normal" doesn't disappear on Hover State
I've set up several images that when hovered over, will show another image (in it's place). All hover states have been set up the same way, but only a few work correctly. On a some of the images - the hover state works correctly, but the normal state doesn't disappear under it.

Amazing. Fourteen years on and this is still the only way to achieve this. Articulate really should address this and the fact you can't add states to groups. Thanks Phil! 😀
Hi fraserwexport,
Thanks so much for following up on this request. I understand it can be frustrating to not have a feature that would be of great use to you! I've shared your feedback with our product team, and we'll let you know if anything changes.
Hi Kelly, no problem at all, this work around works really well :).
Totally unrelated, but is there any update on when sharing Rise files between the EU and US data centre will be possible? It would be a massive help for us.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. Still not resolved?
I'm curious to know if this issue has been looked at by Articulate. I am having the same issue with the Visited state, if a user clicks it the Normal state is visible behind the Visited state. The workaround is creating a box the same color as the Normal state icon to "cover it up" but that won't work with pictures, etc.
Hello Natalie!
Thank you for sharing that you're impacted as well! Our team is currently looking into this bug, but I don't have a timeline to share just yet. When I do, I'll be sure to return to this discussion with an update!
I dont understand that issues like these are a few years old and still not fixed. I understand that the dev team needs to follow a roadmap and doesnt have time for extras, but there should also be time available for fixing bugs reported by users.
Hi Leslie! Tell me more about what's going on with your states. Are you seeing the normal state behind another state?
Try using a custom state instead of a built-in state (like Hover or Visited). If that doesn't help, share a sample of your file, and we'll take a closer look!
I'm also having this problem. Whilst your solution does work, I think with is just a workaround rather than a fix to what looks to be an 8 year old problem.
It's also worth noting using your solution can break the file in other ways. For example a slide with multiple links that are set up this way can cause them to randomly disappear on rollover.
When is this basic feature going to be fixed?
I am having the same problem, it seems to be some kind of bug, do you have any idea if it will be resolved?
Good luck on the rest of your project! 🙂
Hi Alyssa,
Thank you so much for pointing me to that discussion. It is very helpful, I will try those ideas!
Hi Marina!
Thanks for sharing your file with me. The picture cards up in the Visited state is because 'Visited' is actually Normal state + Visited state. Check out this similar discussion for ideas on how you can reconfigure your states to hide the picture cards. I hope this helps!
Hi Everyone,
I am having some trouble with my visited state (please see attached). I have added states to a number (in a circle). In the normal state, there are a couple pictures in the state next to the number (though these pictures do not exist outside of the state). In the hover and selected states, the image and number are highlighted, and in the visited state, the pictures have been deleted, and only the number outlined in gray remains. For some reason, when you preview the file and click on the number, then click again to deselect, the picture from the "normal" state is always visible even though it does not exist in the visited state. Why does the normal graphic appear in all the other states, even if that graphic has been deleted?
Thank you,
Marina
David,
Thanks for your help. I added the hidden paint splotches, and the flicker was eliminated. However I needed to include a custom "painted" state for each splotch in order to trigger the final layer. From now on, if I move an object within a state, I'll not include the hover option.
