Hi everyone, I'm using software simulations for the first time and I'm struggling with a few things.
\n
When I use the Demo view, Articulate adds helpful little bubbles to describe the step. I can edit those but how do I get it to pause so the learner can read the bubble at their own speed and then click close/next to progress the demo?
\n
Some of the descriptions takes a few seconds to read and understand the importance of the step. I find it goes very quick. I don't want to slow the whole thing down as this is only on some of the slide.
\n
I've tried doing it on single slide and pausing on cue points, then adding text boxes and hotspots to progress. The problem with that is I end up with 15 textboxes/hotspots all on top of each other on the timeline as they are all on the one layer. This becomes a nightmare to edit.
\n
Any help/advice/examples would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Leslie, the example you have above seems to only work in the 'try' mode with the layers.
\n
In the first instance I'm demonstrating to the learner how to navigate the software so I'm selecting 'view-by-step' mode first. The view mode doesn't have layers, rather, the view-by-step mode has captions on the timeline.
\n
I want the timeline to pause on the slide when the caption pops up and restart when user clicks 'X'
\n
I think I have a good work around now. I've added Cue points when the caption starts to pause the slide. I've then added a hotspot to restart the timeline when the user clicks on the hotspot. By shortening the caption on the timeline the learner can now control the speed:)
