Issue with syncing in scenario scenes
I have got the scenario as a way to check knowledge using a small case study. I have two response options per scene - one is a correct answer, and the other is incorrect. For some reason, when I type the answer, it is syncing with the next scene's response options. If I change one or the other, it syncs back and forth with the wording.
eg. first scene responses says: You do X. Feedback: Correct. X is correct because of ABC
You do Y. Feedback. Incorrect Y is incorrect because of MNO.
Second scene response says: You do X. Feedback: Correct. X is correct because of ABC
I change second scene response to say: You do W. Feedback: Incorrect. W is incorrect because of PQR.
I check back and First scene response first response is now saying: You do W. Feedback: Incorrect. W is incorrect because of PQR.
I change it back to the accurate one and it changes the second scene back again.
How do I fix this?

Without seeing the *story file, it's a bit challenging to deduce what could be going on. But you might try a couple of things to keep separate scenes. First, insert a neutral slide after the first scene that offers some meaningful feedback or provides a "clean slate" for the second scene. In some cases, I've just used a literal blank slide with a "Next" or "Continue" button. The purpose of the slide is only to keep the two scenario setups separated.
A second recommendation is that you do not duplicate the first scene to make the second. This is especially problematic when you have logic actions (triggers, variables) in the first scene that you try to manipulate in the second to produce the desired outcome. I've found that building the scenarios from scratch (copying elements of the first scene, but not the entire slide) works effectively.
Hi thanks for your suggestions - after speaking with someone else who uses Articulate, have found that this was just a glitch in this version. Will learn to make copies so can use different version segments to be able to change it if this should occur in the future.
About the "spacer" slide idea: you could even have a content-free slide (just the background) in between, with a Trigger that navigates to Next Slide when the timeline reaches 1 second. The learner wouldn't even notice it, if all three slides have the same background.
Hi thanks for your suggestions - after speaking with someone else who uses Articulate, have found that this was just a glitch in this version as it did have a spacer slide, but glad to know this in future. Will learn to make copies so can use different version segments to be able to change it if this should occur in the future.
