Thin red arrow between slides within a scene
In Storyline 360, there are red lines that indicate the connection between slides within the scene. Most of the time, if you hover over the thin red line, it glows and a pop-up indicates the trigger...
For anyone else looking for this solution, I received feedback from Matthew, Senior Customer Support Engineer at Articulate. When I disable the Next button on the Result slide, the 'phantom' red line appears. To avoid this consequence, I was advised to add a trigger to hide the Next button at the start of the timeline and disable the trigger that jumps to the next slide when using the Next button. Thank you MatthewQ . I will be giving this a go on my next project.
Hi there, DorisChwist-87f!
Thanks for reaching out. I understand that those red arrows are causing you navigational troubles. I'm happy to help!
I opened the portion of the file you shared, but I can't replicate this behavior with the arrows.
As a first step, I recommend double-checking the path the last slide in each scene is navigating at the slide view. The goal is to get the slides to proceed in the order you are expecting them to be! If you can share the entire project file in this thread or privately in a support case, we'd be happy to troubleshoot this further!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
I will likely try to recreate the scene from scratch and watch the navigation arrows (if that is what the thin red lines are called). I also worry about the file going corrupt and as I tend to 'borrow' previously built activities, it is important that I find out how the phantom navigation works.
I will be submitting a simplied version of my file which continues to have the phamtom navigation arrow.
Thank you for opening a support case with your Storyline file, Doris. That was a good call! I encourage you to continue troubleshooting with Matthew to help shed light on this issue.
