Thank you for sharing, this looks really great :-) I have the same problem as Tony does... I have set the variables to 'completed' once user clicks on the menu item however the tick only appears on the front page not on subsequent slides. I have tried all sorts, does anyone have any ideas?
I love the look of this menu and was hoping to use it for a course. Can this we used with slides that include a screen recording? I think I have it set up properly, but the screen recording itself (try it) covers up the menu icon. I can't figure out how to get it to display. Is there a way to get objects on the slide master to appear above the screen recording image? thanks!
Hi Clare and Tony -- I am running into the same problems too. I can't figure out how to keep the menu items in a completed state once users re-visit the menu slide. I have my project configured such that when they select a menu item it takes them to a new scene.
Did you figure out a solution?
Hi Lila,
If I'm understanding your issue correctly, I may be able to help.
The template uses a trigger in the master slide to change the state of each menu item when the timeline starts based on the value of a certain variable. If this variable is not set to a specific value when the menu opens, the menu items will revert back to its original state which, in this case, is the state without the tick.
Basically you need to set a trigger to change the relevant variable. If we look at 'Menu item one', the associated variable is 'VarCompl1'. Once the user has completed this particular section create a trigger that sets VarCompl1 = True, this should then change the state of this menu item to complete when opening the menu.
Let me know if this helps - or not, I'm happy to take a look... Expand

Thank you for sharing this with us, Jeff. I'm an Articulate novice and even I was able to set it up in a course, and it works perfectly.
I was curious. Is there a way to set this up so that instead of menu items, I could use a script to pull in the text from the Notes tab and use this as a way to view a transcript?
If so, do you have any advice on how to go about that?
Thank you so much for this template and all the explanations on how it's done. I was looking for so long how to use variables in this way. I have learn so much I can't thank you enough.
Hi Jeff, the menu is amazing! My client wants to use all their background colors on their slides (five) and I am trying to get the menu to live on top of any background color I pick. Any ideas? Do I need to have five show slides and five hide slides each with their own background color? Thank you for the help!
your templates are beauty, but pretty hard to modify. no many guys will use your template, cuz you make it like for you only. i don't even found where background pic is!
Hi Harry sorry to hear you're having trouble using the template. In my original post there is additional explanation plus a link to a YouTube video that shows how to set this up. http://www.seriouslearning.nl/animated-menu-for-storyline-2-w-source-file/
Everything I create does require basic knowledge of storyline so if you want to brush up on that I recommend checking out the tutorial section of this site.
Hi everyone, I really like your template as well! We managed to include it in our course and to adapt it as well. At the moment we set the variables true, when the scene is completed- thats fine so far. But we will have to add triggers everytime we start a new scene- for us its not a problem. But we have a lot of subsidiarys and we want to have our e-learning as adaptable as possible--> so do you know a way how I can show the completed state everytime the user clicks on one menubutton only by adapting in the master slide?
