How to stop auto advancing slides in Storyline after import from PowerPoint
How to stop auto-advancing slides in Storyline after you have imported your slides from PowerPoint?
I've imported slides from PowerPoint, and they seem to have made all the slide auto-advance (forward). I want to turn this feature off. Can someone help me with this situation? I've seen similar threads to this question, but none provide me with an answer. I know how to change the advancement on layers but what about the slides themselves?
Thank you in advance!

I logged out of the program and back in and it is working now! I have no idea what the issue was but it seems to be working now. Thank you for your quick responses and for working with me!
Hi, Shauna.
That's great news! Thank you for taking the time to share the solution, as others might benefit from this discussion!
Hi team,
i am experiencing the same issue. I have imported slides from PowerPoint into Storyline 360, and I have manually changed the Slide Advances setting from "Automatically" to "By User", using multiple methods (i.e. on each slide individually, selecting all, in the story view and in scene view).
I have also saved the project, closed and reopened Storyline and every time the setting is reverting to Slide Advancement Automatically.
Is this a new issue?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Do you know if there is a way to override the automatic slide advancing when you create a custom player in the software?
Hi, Samantha.
Thank you for reaching out!
Can you clarify what you mean by "a custom player in the software"? Are you asking about importing or opening a custom layer in Storyline?
You should still have the same options to change the slide advancing settings in Story View:
If this is not your scenario, I'm happy to continue troubleshooting!
