Storyline issue – Layer not persisting during review since recent updates

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue in Storyline that seems to have appeared after the most recent updates.

Context:

I’m using a question slide with:

• one Correct layer
• one Incorrect layer

I added a third layer called “Lock”, designed to hide the Next button.

Main slide:

• Standard question slide
• Next button visible after answering

Correct / Incorrect layers:

• Display feedback
• Next button available to proceed

 

Triggers in Correct / Incorrect layers:

 

Lock layer:

• Hides the Next button

Trigger logic:

• The “Lock” layer is triggered when the learner clicks the “Next” button
• Its purpose is to prevent navigation when the slide is revisited
• This is mainly used during review mode via a lightbox (recap)

Expected behavior:

When the learner revisits the slide in lightbox/review mode, the “Lock” layer should remain active, ensuring that the Next button stays hidden.

Current behavior:

• The “Lock” layer does not persist upon revisit
• The slide returns to its base state with the feedback
• The Next button becomes visible and clickable again
• This breaks the intended restriction logic during recap

Additional info:

• This setup worked correctly prior to the recent updates

Question:

Has anyone experienced similar behavior with layer persistence or slide state reset in lightbox/review mode?
Could this be linked to a recent change in how Storyline handles layer states or slide revisits?

Thanks in advance for your help!
