Previous and Next Button missing on 1 slide.

I have Next and Previous on most of my slides but it is missing on one. I can't figure out how to add it to that slide. Any help would be appreciated. Rosemary

Here's how you can add triggers for the next and previous slides:

1. Click the Create a new trigger icon in the Triggers panel, or go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click Trigger. 

2. Set Action to "Jump to slide" --> "Next slide" (change this to previous slide for the previous page trigger).

3. Set When to "user clicks or swipes" --> "Next" (change this to previous for the previous page trigger). Click OK.

Repeat these steps for your previous page trigger. 

Here's how it should look like for the next slide trigger:

Hope this helps!

    Thanks for your quick response. I've tried to do this but the option "user clicks or swipes" Does not display. I assume it's because the buttons aren't displaying on the screen for them to click or swipe but I don't know.
    Thanks

    I found my answer. Somehow I had deleted the Player Trigger. I found this response on the Community and this fixed the issue.
    Thanks for your help.

    i Jon! It sounds like your player properties might've just gotten changed accidentally. If you click the gear icon in the lower-right of the layer pane (on the slide's base layer), you'll be able to customize the slide properties... just mark the Next button and, if you want the slide advance to be initiated by the learner, change the Slide Advance selector to By User rather than Automatic.
