Pausing and resuming timeline for different layers not working the same across slides

Hi lea,

Like Rachel said, you don't need a trigger to pause the timeline of the base layer when you show a different layer. You can automatically pause the timeline of the base layer using the layer properties of whatever other layers are showing. On all of your layers that are not the base layer, adjust the layer properties to pause the timeline of the base layer. 

I looked at your course and made some simplifications and reattached your file here:

• Changed the layer properties to pause the timeline of the base layer
• Removed the triggers to start/pause the timeline of the base layer
• Removed the triggers to hide the layers when their timeline ends (it is confusing for the learner if there's a close button and the layer closes automatically when it's done)
• Removed the triggers to change the states to Visited because "visited" is a built-in state in Storyline that occurs automatically once the learner clicks the button

This should fix your issues, but if you're still wondering why your postpartum nurse and lactation consultant button froze everything, it had to do with the trigger order. When you have a trigger to "resume timeline" on a layer, followed immediately by a trigger to "pause timeline" on a slide, you're pausing the entire timeline.
