Make Hint Caption always visible
When I recorded in Try Mode, I selected Show Hint Captions = When Hovered as below
http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/inserting-or-deleting-screen-recordings.aspx
Now with a bunch of slides, how do I make adjustment to make Hint Caption to always show? I tried all including trigger the slide to show Hint Caption layer on timeline start and turn on Always Show in the layer. But it does show and then disappear within 3 seconds. I want Hint Caption to always be there.
Is there a workaround beside copy the Caption and put in the main layer? I want to avoid that as there are many triggers connecting to this layer. I don't want to screw something up.

I understand, Jina!
I appreciate the additional clarification 😊I was able to make this work with just a few steps:
- Increase the total display time on the timeline of the Hint caption layer
- Remove the Exit Animation
- Add a trigger on the Try Again layer to show the Hint Caption layer when the Try Again layer button is clicked.
Here's a recording of those steps. If that's not what you had in mind, can you share your project with our team so we can help tailor something to fit your needs?
Looking forward to your response!
Hey Gina!
You can also keep the Hint visible this way:
Go to the Hint Caption layer > Right click on the Item and from the menu, select Timing.
A pop up window will appear. There, you can select "Always show on slide"
I hope it works.
Thanks, Maria. Will check it out.
Or..... just place the Hint Caption on the Base Layer
