    I think the current setup might be overcomplicating things by using multiple True/False variables to manage just a few status values. Instead, you could simplify it by using text variables that switch between "Not Started", "In Progress", and "Completed".

    Also, unless you're using state changes on text boxes to visually indicate something specific (like applying colors to shapes based on status), there doesn't seem to be a strong reason to handle it that way. It might actually add more confusion to the setup.

    I’ve created a simple demo using 4 text variables to track 4 chapters. Each variable is displayed in its own text box, and the status updates automatically as you move through the slides. Each chapter in my example has 3 slides. The corresponding text variable updates to "In Progress" when the first slide of the chapter is reached. It doesn’t change when returning to the menu unless the last slide of that chapter has been visited, in which case the variable updates to "Completed".

    Check it out and see if it could simplify your current project.
