User notes that they can print and email

Hi Phil, many thanks for your suggestion!  I'm now closer to a solution but not quite there yet. Here's what I've done:

*Created a NotesOpen variable as you described
*Reconfigured the master so a button opens a notes layer and sets the NotesOpen variable to true, and sets the variable false when learner clicks the close button
*Set the notes layer not to hide other layers

Here's what happens now:

When I apply this layout to a slide with multiple layers that show/hide one at a time as the learner clicks a series of buttons, the Notes panel disappears with the first button click. Since the My Notes button still displays on the page, this isn't a dealbreaker, but it would be nice for learners for the open notes layer to stay open until they close it (rather than requiring them to keep clicking the My Notes button to re-open it when they are still interacting with the page).

Hmmm....
