My best guess is that you copied all the icons and text from each separate tab layer and pasted them onto Tab 05 to show all tab content on that layer.
Since all icons are on the base layer, copying and pasting them into Tab 05 would also copy the triggers. As a result, all the icons and text may appear for a brief moment, but then disappear and show only Tab 01, because one of the duplicated triggers (eg. Show layer Tab 01 when the timeline starts on Oval 1). If so, make sure you remove all triggers from Tab 05.
Your setup clearly indicates that Layer 01 is being shown because one of the triggers on Tab 05 is forcing the Storyline to switch back to Layer 01.After removing the unnecessary triggers, your setup should show only Tab 05.
You can review the attached .story file for reference.
Based on the pic of the timeline, it looks like the ovals are set so they never appear at the same time. Best guess is that the layers have triggers and/or Slide Layer Properties settings that impact what shows.
Beyond that, it's virtually impossible troubleshooting without seeing all the programming. Someone might be able to solve the issue if you upload the .story file. Here are the best practices for doing that:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
Thanks Judy - When I try to drag and attach the .story file into this repsonse so you can see the programming, it says file not allowed. This is the link, but I worry that since I use the european version, it might not be openable.

Hi ! Nedim's solution worked! When I removed the triggers from the slide layer 05 it ended there. Apppreciate your imputting here!
