Storyline - Knowledge Check
I have created a Knowledge Check with the standard Results Page - Success and Failure. With the training I am creating, I need a third option, as there is branching contained within the presentation where the user will select whether they require the full training, or just a summary of the updates. If they choose the summary, it takes them to a slide which summarises the updates, with the next slide being the start of the Knowledge Check. If they fail this knowledge check (6 questions) they then are required to complete the full training, so I need a results page that states this and then takes them to the start of the full training slides. Can anyone help me with this - I have tried a few different triggers and variants, but can't get it to work.
Grateful for any advice.
Thank you.
There are different ways to do what you want. Here's one way:
Create a T/F variable to track whether the user chooses the summary path. For example, have the default value be False. Change it to True when the user clicks whatever they click to go to the summary. Be sure this trigger comes before any trigger that jumps to another slide.
On the Failure layer of the Results slide:
- Have a button that jumps to the full content.
- Have a button to Retry the quiz. Give this button the Initial state of Hidden.
- Add a trigger that changes the Retry button to Normal when the timeline starts on the layer with the condition that the variable = False.
A user who does the summary, fails the quiz, and then goes through the full content still needs to retry the quiz. So on the slide before the quiz, have these triggers run when the timeline starts on the slide:
- Change the variable to False.
- Reset the Results of the quiz.
This is demonstrated in the attached file.

Thank you Judy. I have given this a go, but can't quite get it to work correctly.
I will have another try in the morning.
Leaving a project for a while and then coming back to recheck it is one of the all-time great troubleshooting tips. I hope it helps you. 😄
If you still can't get it working, upload the .story file. Here are the best practices for doing that:
- Only include slides that are related to the problem.
- Be sure objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
- If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with “ipsum lorem” text.
Judy, thank you so much for all of this advice and the demo slide deck.
I am confident I now have it working, although final testing/sanity checking being done by a colleague.

You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
Definitely will, Judy 👍
