Turn off auto-slide advance
How can i turn off auto advance for all slides.. I just want the learner to click the fwd arrow to proceed?
I am currently having this issue in storyline. I am on the latest version and cannot turn of automatic.
Hi, AngelaDunn-b8d7!
Thanks for reaching out. I'm also using the latest version of Storyline (Build 3.96.33815.0), and I have no issue selecting Advance by User in the Slide Properties. Here's a quick Peek to show you what I did. Are you taking these same steps?
I'm also curious if this is happening in a brand new file or only in this specific file. If it's happening with all files, I suggest trying a Storyline repair, but if it's only occurring with this file, you may want to try importing your slides into a new Storyline project.
If the issue persists, please let me know here or privately in a support case so we can investigate further!
I am on that version. Thank you. After reloading a new scene, it worked.
I'll try to send in the morning. I think it is the upload from powerpoint. If i create a new one from scratch and copy and paste the slides in from the one created from the upload, the problem isn't there. I'll show more tomorrow.
I've imported a PowerPoint and then added a few graded question slides.
I cannot change the slide advance properties from automatic. Is it the questions that have caused this? If so, what is the solution. Do I have import again, change the setting, then add the questions? Seems a bit of a pain if I'm honest.....
Hi Scott! I just tested this on my end, and I'm having trouble replicating your issue.
After importing some PowerPoint slides into Storyline 360 and adding a couple of graded question slides, I can change how the slide advances for multiple slides, like how Wendy explains here or each slide individually.
I want to help get to the bottom of this! Could you share your file with me? And I'd be happy to dig in further!
iF you have selected a question bank when you selected them it will be disabled
When I try to change all slides at once, mine is defaulted to "Automatically" and it is locked. I can change them individually, but not all at once.
This was the default setting after I imported a powerpoint. Any ideas?
Hello Maribel!
Are you in Story View or Slide View? If you're in Story View and selecting all slides, the Slide Properties shouldn't be locked. If you don't have any slides selected, the Slide Properties can't be changed and will look locked.
I'm happy to take a look at your project if you want to attach the .story file to this public discussion. You can also upload it privately in a support case.
go to story view, Select all slides and set the properties (little gear icon lower right corner) to Advance by user.
