Jump to Previous Symbol at End of 1 Scene Only
In Story View, a slide at the end of the Scene 1 has a Jump to Previous symbol showing beneath it. This symbol does not appear at the end of subsequent scenes. Is that a problem, and if so, how do I correct it?
Thank you for very clear response. I ended being very specific with the Previous and Next triggers at the beginning and end slides. Having done that, the problem resolved itself. Also, I received a very useful tip about renumbering the scenes in Story View. Thank you everyone in the eLearning community!

The Prev arrows between scenes appear because the 1st slide in a scene has a trigger that links directly to the last slide in the previous scene.
When I look at the file in Story View, all the scenes have Prev and Next arrows between them—EXCEPT scenes 2 and 3.
Slide 3.1 in Scene 3 is the only first slide in a scene for which the Prev-button trigger says "Jump to previous slide." All of the others jump specifically to the last slide of the previous scene.
By the way, Story View does its best to represent the flow of a course. That doesn't always appear as we think it should. The important thing is to verify that all the links in the course work as intended.
Also, because it's a linear course, those Prev-button triggers on the 1st slides of the scenes could all say "Jump to previous slide." (Yes, you need a special trigger at the last slide of a scene, because there's no "next" slide within the scene. But "previous slide" trigger at the start of a scene will jump back to the last slide of the previous scene in a linear course.)
