Good morning Hazel,
Thank you for your reply. I did not think it could be removed, but could not hurt to ask, right? :)
Here is the reason my client asked if it could be removed: "The buttons are confusing. The CONTINUE button allows you to move to the next slide without completing the actions. The START button and the ARROW button both do the same thing but I wasn’t certain whether each did something else so I clicked each to confirm – wastes time."
I did provide the option of adding a note (see attached) to avoid confusion.
Have a great day Hazel!
Dianne
