Trigger to display Instruction slides on every layer and slide
Good afternoon,
I am hoping someone may be able to assist. I am building a Storyline training on Creating an Adobe PDF with calculations. I have instructions for each step and a trigger to display them at the start of every slide. For some reason instructions are disappearing after a new layer is triggered.
This may be more of an advanced idea, though perhaps I think just a holistic way of thinking about our slides: put the instructions and their associated trigger on a master slide's layer, and then have all of the slides you need for it to use that master slide as a template. You'd create the instruction layer once with one trigger, but it will fire every time an instance of that slide begins, and since it's a "master layer," you'll know it will appear on top of every non-master layer in the course.

Is there a specific slide that this happens on. I couldn't replicate the issue on the first couple of slides, the instruction remained open when other layers open, or do you mean when you navigate between slides?
Before I uploaded, I added triggers to nearly every layer to get the instructions to be available at all times. Initially the first few slides did not have an issue but the rest did. The problem was inconsistent and frustrating.
