Issues with stacking order Master slide
Hi There, since the March updates I have issues in my "template". The issue is tht my title bar and Nav buttons are on separate layers of the master slide, and suddenly the nav buttons hald dissapear behind the title bar after I click to go to a previous slide .
I read from my AI tool that Storyline has inserted a new stacking logic, especially after clickiing on "previous".
I've tried changing the order of the master slide layers, changing the timing of layers. etc.etc. But I have not found an answer to this issue. Mostly I was wondering if more people are experiencing "stacking" issue since the march updates, especially in the context of using different master slide layers in combination with clicking to to to a previous slide.
I must admit, I didn't test it extensively, only in one scene and it seemed to work there, but it's likely that I would have the same issue that you do. I just came across a feedback layer issue of my own, so I checked the update site and they released a new version yesterday:
"Fixed: Slide layers, including feedback layers, didn't behave as expected when a slide was revisited."
Hopefully updating to the new version will get rid of our issues!

I don't have much to offer than curiosity. Many years I successfully used master slide layers to create a "universal" nav bar that the learner used to navigate around a course like a sandbox, so I'm wondering how that would be different now with these updates.
Happy to take a look at a project file if you're willing to share. Your LLM's use of the expression "more strictly" is interesting and I do want to learn more.
Thanks for your curiosity. I've attached the file. Note: this template uses two navs. One from the master slide and one on regular slide level as a layer. This used to work fine for a long time, but as mentioned when clicking previous the navs dissapear behing the title bar. (Link valid for 3 days)

I was curious too! Changing the order of the layers in the panel seems to do the trick, from

That shouldn't make a difference, as far as I'm aware - I think it's a bug in the current version of Storyline. But maybe Andrew can find an explanation for this behaviour of the layers when he takes a look at it!
Thanks Lisa!
I did try this, however I wound up getting stuck at every last slide of a chapter since the slice navs stopped working since the last update when clicking a previous button.
Did you also have that?
