when I go to 'rename button 1' and change the button title it does not appear. However, when I right click again to rename the button, it gives an option of renaming it .. but with the title I changed it to...changes are not showing though? can someone help?
Thank you Montse for sharing this very useful accordion interactions. I just downloaded the template. I am able to edit everything except the button title. Like Omtta, I tried to rename the button by right clicking it and by trying to change in the object triggers.. It doesn't allow to rename it. I am looking to change button names and the vertical to the left. Please help. Thanks
I love this, Montse, thanks for sharing! Hope it's okay if I edit the Animation for each layer's salmon/Active object to be "Float In/Up," so that it behaves a little more like the corresponding Accordion interaction in Rise. I like to try to keep the behaviors of interactions fairly similar from one course to another for a given client, so learners experience consistency instead of differences and "surprises."
I figured out the "how to rename button ##" question posed above (as did Angela) by editing the text on each of its states, so my primary and most imporant question is: *Why* is this renaming behavior the case only for the "Active" or salmon-colored button on each layer, and why is it selectable in the timeline yet not on the slide itself -- as opposed to the other, gray buttons,...

The button isn't locked or hidden on the timeline, and I can't spot anything in slide/layer properties, shape format, triggers, variables, states, etc. which seem to be causing this behavior. I'd like to use this in the future, but I want to fully understand what it's doing and why, not simply "trust the magic." ;)
A secondary and less-important question: I've noticed that you and some other Storyline designers include a "Background" rectangle behind text boxes, which seems to be invisible and serves no purpose -- while others do not. Is there a specific, technical reason related to a buggy Storyline behavior which could occur, if one does not have such a Background -- or is it simply a design standard some developers learned early on, and so they just continue doing it?
