Hi all, I am working on a course to outline key elements of a new software. I thought that I would use the Button Stack block to give the learner a choice of which of the three subjects to look at first. I placed the block in the software, but I cannot figure out how to return to the button stack. Is this a logical use of the button stack? Most examples I have seen were scenario in nature, where the button stack was used to choose which response, followed by feedback. Do I need to add the block in after the end of each of the three subject lessons? Thanks for your advice.
As you have discovered, using a Button Block to send a Learner to a different Lesson is a one-way trip. There is no built-in way to return to the starting Button Block.
You would have to add a Button Block in the destination Lesson to get back to the starting point.
I saw your Rise 360 example for scenarios, and I was curious how you got the image in the first scenario to appear like it's a photograph (with the shadow effect). Thank you in advance!

Here's an older scenario I built and you can see how I handled the back function doing what Karl mentions.

Just click on the first scenario, it's the only one enabled.
Tom your link does not work.
That's because I'm an idiot. :) Link above fixed.

Hi Romy,
The image actually looks likes this:
The shadow effect is applied outside of Rise in an app like Photoshop.
With Articulate 360, you get Studio (which is an add-on to PPT). You can insert the Content Library characters.
In this example, I inserted the character on a PPT slide, then applied PPTs image effect and saved the image as PNG.
