slide auto advance

Yes. Go into Story View. Select the slides and on the right side panel you'll see the option to change it.

Thanks for your response. I was able to do that and change it on the specific Story.

Is there a way to change it on the application so I don't have to change it on each Story? I can't imagine I would ever want to advance automatically and I just want to turn the feature off all together.

When you create Storyline project from scratch, it is set to advance by user as a default. So you shouldn't have to do anything.

If you import PowerPoint slides into Storyline, PowerPoint is a presentation tool so it will come in with the slides set to advance automatically after X seconds (can't recall what the PPT default is). You'll need to set that to advance by user.

Thanks so much for your help.
