Tab order
Trying to understand navigating projects using keyboards.
In slides (free form where there are 3 rectangles as choices) where objects are marked as read "object is visible to accessibility tools", and they show up in the right order in the focus order, why can't I use TAB key to try and get to those objects? The tab key only takes me to the first option or the 3 choices/rectangles. Is that how it should work with tabbing through quiz slides? (See second slide in attached).

Thank you!
Hello AnneBaker-ac818,
Happy to help!
Thanks for sharing a copy of your project file! Below is an observation I had of your question slides, as well as instructions on how to navigate a slide in Storyline 360 using a keyboard.
- A trigger in your second slide prevents it from working correctly. It's highlighted in the screenshot below. The highlighted trigger automatically displays the "Try Again" layer when the second option is clicked before the slide's response is formally submitted. This trigger also affects the tab order, causing the "Try Again" layer to appear abruptly when a learner tabs on the second option.
- In a question slide, you can navigate to the other options in the slide by using the up and down arrow keys. This type of navigation is explained here:

Let me know if you have any questions!
