Keeping layers visible?

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.

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:

1. There is not a trigger to hide the 4th layer
2. 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.

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?

Ah, thank you for clarifying.

You can resume a course, yes. When that slide is a video, there is no way to 'guarantee' that they will resume the video where they left off and different browsers handle this differently as well.

Looks like Robert was sharing a possible solution that another user was able to utilize here.

There is not a setting within our software for this, so seeking the community for ideas and solutions is what is needed for your design.

Support was not able to help me. They referred me to another online post. This file is perhaps my last attempt at a workaround. I cannot think of anything else to try. I need to be able to resume the video where It left off not to restart from the beginning each time. Maybe there is no answer.

Thank you for the follow-up.

Hey LaVon,

Thanks for letting us know that you've reached out to support. I see that Robert was able to share some information with you and a forum thread.

Looks like Phil has been helping you out on your forum thread here as well, so I'm glad that the community is able to help you out with your design needs. 

I have a large number of videos to package SCORM compliant. I did ask this question online but have received no response yet.  Our LMS is Cornerstone and I am using Storyline 360. I have 3 criteria that this course should have after publishing. It needs to pass CSOD Pilot. It must save progress so the user can go back and start where they left off. The Exit button must close the course. I have submitted a ticket to support but that response did not help. Now I am attempting a work around of sorts but I still need help. Please look at this file and help me. I need the button layer on the first slide to be visible and clickable when the user wants to ext and save the progress. I am attaching my file.

Oh my gosh--thank you!!!! Makes total sense.

Lisa,

Thanks for the picture, it clears things up for me.

The Layer 1 - Female layer isn't shown because the trigger to show it is attached to the layer, and it has no ability to show itself:

  (Note that this trigger to show the layer is on the layer and not the slide.) The trigger to show the layer will only fire when the timeline on the layer starts, and the timeline on the layer will only start when the layer is shown, and ... etc.

Go to the base layer, and attach the trigger to show the layer to the timeline of the slide, so when the slide timeline starts, it will show the layer:

Hi there Lisa! I can see that you’re still having trouble with the slide layers since you reached out here and in this other discussion. I’d love to help.  Can you take a look at the questions I asked in the other discussion? We can keep the conversation going over there!
