Screen Recording Previous Trigger
Hello,
In utilizing Record Screen in Storyline, is there a way to add a trigger that allows the end user to go to the previous slide? I've tried adding, but no luck on the slides that have Record Screen.
Thanks in advance!
CLA_ScDoCo : Like graded-question slides, slides from a screen recording automatically have the Prev and Next buttons deselected (turned off) in the Slide Properties. You can't add a trigger for the Prev button because that button isn't available.
As you discovered, the trigger will appear if you edit the Slide Properties to show the Prev button.
You can save yourself time by going to STORY VIEW, selecting all of the screen-recording slides, and adding the Prev button in the Slide Properties area in the lower right of the window.

Hello CLA_ScDoCo,
Welcome to the community!
Typically, adding a "Jump to slide -> previous slide" trigger should be enough to allow learners to go back to the previous slide they were on.
This trigger also works on screen recording-generated slides. Would you mind sharing a copy of the project you're working on so we can check why it's not working as expected? You can share a copy of your project file here or privately by opening a support case for testing. We'll delete it when we're done!
Thank you! There is no way to add that trigger when you're in the slide itself, for screen-recorded generated slides:
You have to add via story view, on screen recording generated slides:
Is there a way to be able to add a previous trigger from the slide itself? Thank you in advance.

Thank you Judy! I wish we could do it all in one screen, but this is definitely a workaround that we can utilize. I appreciate your response!
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 🙂
