Icon from initial state automatically copies to other states: Any workaround?
Hi everyone,
I'm developing a set of buttons and included an arrow icon in the initial state of each button. I want the visited state to display a checkmark instead of the arrow.
However, I noticed that the initial state's arrow automatically gets copied into other states, including the Visited state. As a result, both the arrow and the checkmark appear together on the Visited state.
I tried creating a new custom state by manually copying and pasting the arrow, but the issue still persists: the arrow keeps carrying over into the Visited state.
Has anyone found a good workaround for this?
I’d really appreciate any advice or tips!
Hi Hong Shu, With built-in states the normal button content shows through.
- This link from Judy Nollet explains more about in-built states and how they work
- Here is a video from David Anderson explaining the process, what to do..., and also how to create custom buttons. Button States.
Easiest way to resolve this when using built-in states is to add a shape on the additional states to mask what is on the normal state.

My pleasure HongShu, it flummoxed me when I first started using Articulate.
