Persistent Layer in Slide When Restarting Scene
I am trying to add a navigation layer with three buttons that will allow the user "Restart the Course", "Restart the Scene" or "Continue".
The "Continue" button works fine and hides the layer.
The "Restart the Course" works correctly in that when the user starts from scratch and gets back to the slide with the layer, the layer is hidden as it should be.
However, when the user clicks on "Restart the Scene" and works their way back to the slide with the layer, the layer is still visible. The slide should be in its initial state.
I've tried every combination of behavior buttons in the layer dialog but I cannot get this slide to reappear with the layer hidden.
Help!

The solution is to double-click on the Base Layer. In the "Slide Properties" dialog there is a field for "When Revisiting". Select "Reset to initial state" and everything works as it should.

What are the triggers on the restart scene option?
I am a two-week-long user so you will have to help me along.
The trigger I use from the drop down menu is Action = "Jump to Scene" and the Scene = "2 Atmospheric Basics" which is the name of the scene.
I originally tried this by setting the trigger to "Jump to Slide" and selecting the first slide in the scene but got the same results.

Have a wonderful start to your day!
Well, now I have about a hundred pages to update. If a change is made to a master page, are pages previously created updated or only those pages yet to come?

It was created to address a different issue, bu the ability to change all slides at once is the same
Thank you, Ron. A huge time saver!
