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!

How can I just have the last slide layer showing when I return to the base layer?
I have a base layer, and 4 additional slide layers. After I go through the 4 slide layers, I'd like to return to the base layer to active the 'next slide' function, but retain the information from the last slide layer on the screen. Is this possible?
Hi Tony and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create. Without seeing your file, my first thought is to be sure that:
- There is not a trigger to hide the 4th layer
- Slide properties are set to resume saved state.
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
If you have not tried it, simply add a slide trigger to "show layer" when the "timeline" reaches "this slide" and apply it to the layer you want to show up.
