Can I retain the overall slide state on revisit?

Question

The slide I'm working on is like some kind of menu with some triggers and stuff. I tried putting all the layers and stuff in the same slide, but it didn't work, so I'm trying to see if putting each "menu layer" on a different slide works. The problem is, that when I go back to the menu slide, it starts all over again. Is there a way to "omit" all the animations and stuff once you are visiting the menu items? I feel like getting rid of the animation would work, but it would look awful with no animation.

Thank you!

Could you put a screenshot of the timeline?

Here is some explanation about micronavigation:

Micro-Navigation in Adobe Captivate - Captivate blog

You could create a user variable: v_visit with a default value of 0. Assign the value 1 to it with the action of all the buttons that jump from that menu slide to the other chapters. You will have to calculate the frame number to jump to (see explanation in that blog post) and a conditional action On Enter for the menu slide has to check the value of v_visit:

IF v_visit is equal to 1

Assign cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume with v_frame v_frame = calculated frame number

ELSE

It could be done with micronavigation. The idea is to track if it is a first visit (user variable), if it is not, the playhead will be moved to a frame that is just after the animations.
