Storyline 360 - Feedback Master
Hi all,
I'm unsure if the Feedback Master is misbehaving or I'm misunderstanding how it's supposed to be used.
Historically I have edited the 'Try Again' slide that's generated for screen recordings manually, on a slide by slide bases. I've placed a simple 'X' icon that flashes up and vanishes, easy peasy.
I've recently decided to try and get this done via the Feedback Master slides to save editing 100's of layers and slides.
I have removed all elements from the Feedback Master and the Try Again Feedback layout:
For whatever reason Storyline keeps depositing text boxes and buttons into the Try Again layers:
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
If a layer is dimming the slide and the Player, plus preventing interacting with anything except the layer, the Slide Layer Properties are set to present as a Dialog.
The solution is to change that setting so it presents as a Layer.
If a layer is dimming only the slide, it has a semi-transparent background. The solution is to change the background to No Fill.

Thank you for the input Judy,
Typically I also create a 'Storage' layer that I setup and copy / replace the existing Try Again layer for each slide, I was hoping that Feedback Master would negate some of that effort.
The best solution I've manage to come up with is to simply move the text and button elements from the Try Again Master layer off slide. This prevents new ones being generated and allows me to have full control of what's on the layer.
This has presented a new issue to solve, how to stop the layer from dimming the player / menus. đŸ¤”

As I understand it, the functionality for creating a Try Again layer includes inserting the standard feedback text, naming a button "Try Again," and giving that button a trigger that hides the layer. Normally, it does that with the placeholders on the Feedback Master Try Again Layout.
But, as you've seen, if those placeholders aren't on the layout, the program creates new text boxes and a new button, because it needs someplace to put the programmed elements.
Thus, even if you set up the layout with just the X you want, you'll have to delete the 3 automatically inserted elements from every new Try Again layer.
Another option: Create a "set up" slide for each type of question you typically use. Adjust its Try Again layer as desired, including the removal of the default elements. Then, instead of inserting new question slides, duplicate the set-up slide(s).
FYI: That's the sort of slide I usually put in an extra "Storage" scene, so they're easy to find—and easy to delete (or just hide) when the project is published.
