Working with the new Slide Number variables

Hello all, 

I am building a new course and would like to include a simple way for the user to know how much of the course is left. I have added the new slide number triggers to my master slide so it shows on all slides. However, my issue comes when I preview the course. The numbers work great as long as they progress forward, if the user clicks the back button the number doesn't move backward.

How do I get this to happen? Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help in advance. 

Oh, I should also note I created the navigation myself, I am not using the building storyline navigation and next/back buttons. 

Thank you much! 

  • Hi Melissa!

    Are you adding to the slide number when moving onto the next slide? If so, you could choose to subtract from the variable when the learner presses the previous button.
