I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I happened to come across it today as I was freeforming* in Storyline.You know how on a freeform hotspot slide you can have zero/one/many incorrect hotspots but only one correct? Turns out you can have as many correct as you like. What you need to do is this follow this procedure : Create a new hotspot freeform slide. Set your correct and incorrect answers - at this point you can only set one correct hotspot, but we will set the rest later, but do go ahead and set all the incorrect ones. Now remove the freeform from the interaction by going to Insert-->Remove Freeform Now copy and paste the correct hotspot (the only green one) to other areas of your screen. Once you've set them all up, then go ahead and revert back to freeform by going to Insert-->Convert to freeform-->Hotspot With any luck you will end up with something similar to the following : That's all there is to it.

Hi Becca, Rebecca Fleisch Cordeiro said: That is, to explain it to myself, I created a freeform Quiz Question with a photo of flowers in a garden.

Great find, Alex! I wonder if anybody knows of a way to set it up so that the learner could select multiple hotspots?

Hi Wendy: I used the Pick Many form and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion!

Love that thing you do... This is cool, and just to be sure I'm understanding, it doesn't allow the Learner to select more than one correct answer, but it allows the developer to place a potentially correct answer in more than one location on the slide.

Tx for the confirmation, Alex. Hope your w/e is going well.
