Issue with a slide in SL - click to reveal interaction
Hello - I am looking for some help for slide 1.8 in my project and the recurring slides on it. the text on the layers keeps disappearing and when i click the refresh button it plays the audies of the base layer and the layer it is on. can i add the SL file here? i know there used to be an option.

You said the text on layers keeps disappearing. That could be due to a few things.
- Does the text have an exit animation?
- Is there a trigger to hide the text?
- Is there a trigger to close the layer when the timeline ends?
- Are the Slide Layer Properties set to hide the layer when the timeline ends?
Any time you replay a slide's timeline, the audio files and animations on it will replay. To avoid that, set the Slide Properties to "Resume saved state." (Note that triggers set to run "when the timelines starts" will run every time the user returns to the slide, if when it's set to "Resume saved state.")
Beyond that, troubleshooting is just guessing without seeing the .story file. As CarlFink1 pointed out, the paper-clip button is for uploading attachments. You might have to click the More (...) button to access it.
Here are some best practices for uploading a .story file:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.

You can easily upload a file. Reply to this (or your own message) and click the three-dots (ellipsis) menu, then the paperclip icon.
