Player Tab Order and Quiz Slide Layers Tab Order Restrictions
Hello there!
I have two issues that I could really use some guidance on. I am building a course with a 10-questions assessment at the end. I am attempting to create logical tab order for visual focus - 508 compliance. I have reworked the tab order for each base quiz slide and I have turned off objects I don't want visible to accessibility tools; however, I am not able to manipulate the latter on the "Correct" or "Incorrect" question slide layers. When pulling them up using the tab order feature, I can move the position of an object on these layers up or down, but I can NOT delete anything (such as "Line 5" that appears in the dialogue boxes of each and is picked up by screen readers and tabbing).
As a result, when tabbing through the slides during preview mode, issues encountered include:
Tabbing through the base question slide is fine - no issues. But, when the question is submitted and the correct/incorrect slide layer pops up, the tabbing jumps from the slide to the player and cycles through the player (twice) before returning to the slide layer. Everything, including the "rectangle" shape and "Line 5" of the dialogue box are tabbed through before reaching the "Continue" button. So...
1. How do I turn off objects that appear to be restricted from editing (rectangle; Line 5) on the quiz slide layers?
2. How can I redirect the tab order to stay on the slide and read the question result (Correct or Incorrect) before jumping to the player tabs?
And/OR
3. How can I keep the tabs from cycling through the player twice before returning to the actual slide?
I have attached one of the slides for review.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the summary, Ashley. I'll give it a go!
Sounds great Cheryl - and let us know how it goes!
Hi Cheryl,
Are your instructions above the outcome of how we should handle the tab order for feedback layers?
Thanks
I've not given this a try yet, June. Ashley may be able to provide additional feedback.
Hi June,
I did it as a test when this issue was initially filed and it worked in that environment. This is still an issue with our QA but has had a lower priority based on the level of impact and workarounds available.
I'll let the team know that we're hearing from more users running into the issue! Depending on priority and risk, some bugs can be fixed quickly, while others take longer to resolve. Here's more information on how we identify and tackle bugs.
Hope that helps clarify our next steps and let me know if you need anything else!
Hi Alison!
This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if Margaret is still subscribed here. You are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.
Let us know what you are working on and needing assistance with and we'd be glad to help :)
First the problem: On a quiz question, someone using only the keyboard has to do a lot of tabbing to get to relevant things. if I try to remove objects from the tab order, it seems to remove the wrong objects. If I try to change the tab order it doesn't seem to do the order I create.
What I have had some success with is totally removing objects. I did go to the feedback master and get rid of the line on the feedback layer. That prevents it from being a tab stop before the continue button. On the individual slides, I got rid of the words "Correct" and Incorrect" to prevent them from being tab stops before the Continue button.
Hi there Alison!
Thanks for letting us know what you already tried. Could I take a peek at your file? If you'd rather not share the whole thing, just one or two of the troublesome slides will do. 😁
I'll be standing by!
Maybe Storyline and I just needed a good night's sleep and a good lunch. I copied 4 slides out into a separate presentation, and it worked exactly like it should. So I tried it in my presentation, and now it's working. I fought with it for hours yesterday and this morning and it had some wires crossed. But it's working now, so thanks for standing by!
Whew! There's nothing that a good night's sleep and a good lunch won't fix, right? 😉
Glad you've got it working again! If you come across any more roadblocks, you know where to find us.
