Previous button
Good Afternoon,
This may be a silly question, but it seems as though when I publish at Storyline project the Previous button returns you to the last slide you viewed as opposed to the actual preceding slide. I’m pretty certain that my settings/triggers are correct. Is there any way I can fix this so that the Previous and Next buttons take you to the actual preceding and subsequent slides as listed in the menu?
Thank you in advance!

It would be really great if Articulate could add some options for the previous button. We have to manually change every single instance of the previous button because the previous functionality just isn't helpful.
If you build any kind of menu system the previous button gets confused and loops you around because of what it considers the previously viewed slide.
This has been brought up continually for 6 years, you keep saying about the 'power' of feature requests, well.... where is the fix then?
Hey Jake. I know this conversation about the Previous button functionality has been going on for some time. We have a process for feature requests to help us prioritize and implement features that add the most value for our customers.
Let me do some digging and see if I can revisit this with my team to make sure we've got it prioritized correctly. I'll make sure our documentation is up to date with your comments!
Any progress on this issue after 3 years?
Would be nice to have the default setting for the Previous button to display the adjacent page in the menu and then we can customize it to trigger differently as needed.
Hello Orlando,
This feature has not been implemented yet.
Currently, the trigger 'jump to slide previous slide' when the user clicks the Prev button goes to the slide previously viewed, similar to a browser back button.
- Example: Slide 1 > Slide 4 > Slide 6 > Prev button > Slide 4

As Wendy mentioned above, you can manually set the slide to jump to slide x when user clicks Prev button then slide x would be shown.
- Example: Slide 1 > Slide 4 > Slide 6 > Prev button > Slide 5
- Scene 2 from attached file:
