Show/Hide Resources?

Is there a way to show/hide resources in Storyline??  If not, I'm open to ideas to accomplish the needed effect... Here's the setup: 1. I've got a course that contains 9 different scenes. 2....

As Jonathan stated, this thread seems to have fallen of the radar. I'm looking for help on a similiar issue.

A client has requested that a document become available in the resource section only after the course is completed but ideally, they do want it available when revisiting the slides later. Meaning, if the learner comes back to the course, the resource section is open and available.

Seems like an easy ask but I've not been able to make this happen with just the standard functionality. Do I need to get into variables and triggers? Do they even work for a resource page?

Thanks!

    Hi Gillian:

    I know you're looking for a better built-in option, but I have done something similar in the past using lightbox.

    What I did was create a separate scene with my lightbox files available on separate slides. Next, I put a button on each slide with a trigger to lightbox a slide and adjusted the lightbox options as the user progressed through the training. My icon was a, "briefcase", and filled with the applicable documents as the user progressed through the course. So, once the user reached a certain point in the course, the button would allow access to the entire suite of files/documents. 

     

    I'm not sure if that solves your issue, but that was a workaround I used.
