Layers Not Displaying Properly During Authoring But Display Properly in Preview
Forgot the attachment.
If the "Revisited" dropdown is set to "Reset to Initial State," the base layer and additional layer behave as expected when returning to a previously created slide.
Hello again, Judy. I think I have this figured out.
Your were right, on one of my three "generic" slides the visibility button had somehow disappeared so those new slides copied from it did not behave as expected in the Slide View.
But what was still confusing was when clicking my "Interrupt" layer, the base layer was still visible even though the "Hide objects in base layer" was checked. (See attachment.)
THE AH-HA MOMENT.
When one first creates a slide and clicks on such a layer, it behaves as expected. The base layer is hidden.
If one goes elsewhere in the scene or the program then comes back to a previously created slide, the base layer suddenly is visible when it shouldn't be.
It turns out this happens when the layer properties box "Revisits" drop-down is set to "Resume Saved State." When it is set to "Reset to Initial State" then the layer behaves as expected while it the Slide Mode.
Problem Solved.
Bonus Lesson Learned: "Revisited" setting can be different in each layer.
Thank you for your patience, Judy.
