Reverse/change transition on Previous button

I have a forward-moving timeline, using the push transition, which looks great moving forward! But when using the previous button it looks quite ridiculous, without being able to reverse the transition!

Hi Jacqui!

You are welcome to share your thoughts with our product development team here as well.

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here too! It's something that a few folks have submitted as a feature request but has yet to make our roadmap. Here's a bit more about how items like this become features in new versions of Storyline.

I've been hoping for years that this would be added.. hoping it was added to Storyline 360, but when playing around in the trial version, I do not see it as a possibility. Is there any update about the potential of having this feature?

Hi Erin!

I don't have any updates to share on this feature request. Thanks for checking in!

Any updates?

No easy way to achieve a reversed transition alas. Phil's solution is probably the easiest one. Another option is creating a transition with GSAP and javascript. That would be easily reversible as you can use timelines with built-in functionality to reverse it. In fact that is quite easy... biggest problem is for push or cover transitions you would need the graphical look and feel of the next and previous slides in the current one...so you can make it look like a transition on the current page.

Moving the currentview... well thats the easy part..

let player = GetPlayer();
var tl = gsap.timeline({onComplete:readyAction});

let slideContainer = document.querySelector("#slide > main");
tl.to(slideContainer, {x: '100vw', duration: 1});

function readyAction(){
console.log("timeline ready!");
player.SetVar("isTransitionDone","2")
}

The code uphere just does that...moving the actual content out of view to the right.
Now figuring out how to get the next page to show properly..

A first sample of this... pages are grouped on a slide and with GSAP controlled to move out of view. Gonna finetune this, because it is a bit messy still... but the principle works...

First 2 pages only work... next and previous..

Hi Karen, 

We still don't have any updates to share on this feature request, but we'll be sure to drop an update in this thread as soon as one becomes available! 

I threw in a feature request too. I would love a backwards transition where you could opt for the opposite transition as the one that appears when navigating forward. Ex. navigating on a mobile device through a slide deck/deck of cards,

it just looks funny when you go backward-but it appears the previous slide is underneath the current slide.
