Menu Header links to wrong slide in course
I have a course with several sections. These are shown in the menu in closed form. In the menu clicking on a section heading will take the user to the wrong slide. Instead of the first slide in that section the user will end up on some other random slide. Has anyone else had this issue?

Menu headers are not designed to jump. If you want to jump to the first slide in a scene, you have to use that slide as the menu heading.
And yet it does. In the past clicking the header would just toggle the folder to see the nested courses
You might attach it here and see if anybody else gets the same results.
Its only happening on a section header I added manually (the randomness) All the rest just go to the first slide of the section
Sounds like you are getting to the bottom of it Randall, but if you need us to take a look feel free to share.
On second thought Randall, we do have a similar sounding issue reported. We found an issue with custom headings where instead of jumping to the first slide under the heading, the course jumps to the next slide from where you leave off.
We're investigating this issue currently, and I'll tag your post to be updated. The only workaround we've discovered is to break your slides into different Scenes instead of using custom headings.
Any updates? I have the same problem with my menu
Hi there, Mathieu. Sorry you've come across this!
We're still looking into the problem where clicking on custom menu headings incorrectly brings you to the next slide from where you were last. I'll tag your post to the Storyline 360 report so we can keep you updated with any changes to the bug.
In the meantime, we discovered these two workarounds:
- In the Menu panel of your Player Properties, reset the Menu. Rename the first slide in each scene to your custom menu heading name. Promote that slide to a Heading. Delete the remaining slides. (More on customizing the Menu here!)
- Or, break your slides into different Scenes instead of using custom headings.
