Keeping layers visible?
Hi there! I'm new to Storyline and being launched into it headfirst for some serious projects. I feel like I'm picking things up pretty quickly, but I'm facing an issue I don't know how to conquer.
There's a table on one slide and users need to click cells in the table. When they click certain cells, a check mark should appear. I've gotten the check marks all set up, one per layer. My problem is I need them to stay put once they are selected. If I click another cell, the new check mark appears, and the previously selected one disappears. How can I make it so the layers stay put after they are clicked?
Many thanks in advance!

You guys are immensely helpful. Thank you so much!
If I'm not mistaken, the effect you're going for might be better achieved with states rather than layers. There are easy-to-use settings for a Visited state that sounds like exactly what you're trying to build with layers. Here's a quick tutorial on how to use states:

Hope that helps!
I was having the same issue and this is exactly what I needed...thank you!!
Hi Shelby, and welcome to the Heroes community!
What you're experiencing is slide layers hiding one another. To have them all stay visible, go to the layer properties for each layer (the little gear icon) and uncheck Hide other Slide layers. Do this for each layer, and they'll all stay put!

Hi, I've already done this and the layers keep disappearing when passing from one to the other. I'd appreciate any help possible.
Hi RefugeeDepartme,
It would be easier for the community to help out if we could examine your project file to see how your layers are currently set up. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or privately by opening a support case so we can check? We'll delete it when we're done testing!
