Storyline issue – Layer not persisting during review since recent updates

Hi SafeTeamAcademy,

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, I can see how this would be frustrating, especially since your setup was working as expected before.

I also appreciate NateMarshall-91 chiming in and sharing what your team is seeing. Based on testing and similar reports, this behavior is related to a bug in the latest Storyline update (Update 114), particularly affecting how layers behave when revisiting a slide.

Specifically, there’s an issue where layers set to “Hide other slide layers” don’t behave as expected after a slide is revisited, which aligns with what you’re seeing with your “Lock” layer not persisting and the Next button becoming available again.

This worked correctly in previous versions, so it’s not related to your setup or trigger logic.

This has been reported to our product team and is currently under investigation.

In the meantime, a possible workaround is to revert to a previous version of Storyline (Build 3.113), where this behavior works as expected.
