Question

Change default "on success" behavior for click box?

Hello,

I create a lot of pptx --> Adobe Captivate eLearnings, and as you know, when the slides are imported, they are given a click box, which when clicked, advance the user to the next slide. I want to keep the click boxes to stop the project at the end of each slide,  but dont want the user to be able to interact with it. (I have a customized navigation bar)  I can achieve this by changing the "on success" behavior to "no action".  Question -- do i have to do this for every click box?  Unfortunately, I cannot apply this to all click boxes like I can apply the timing settings, for example.

Thanks for any help!!

Ryan

Actions are never part of a 'style', not even for visible items. And look at the accordions as well: the Actions accordion has never the small curved arrow that allows you to apply the change to all similar items.

Evan, if you don't know yet that the only interactive object that can be applied to a master slide, question slide, score slide or timed for the rest of the project is my favourite shape button, it is time to explore my blog.

Lilybiri, Indeed, I think we are in agreement that his options are limited? And I did know the shape button is there, but I think he was looking for a quick way to adapt the current clickboxes. A shape button would work though for sure, on a master slide.

As far as I know....and hopefully someone can correct me (I would be curious for sure)... but I don't think you can change the properties of multiple click boxes across slides all at the same time. Other items like buttons and smart shapes can be visually adjusted using the Object style manager, but as far as On Success options and such...unless you select them all in a given slide, you can't. Clickboxes can't even be added to master slides unfortunately. If the clickbox can be in a common place across slides, I would delete all of the clickboxes except the first, make the necessary changes to that one, then do a ctrl+c for copy, and then just paste it into all of the remaining slides. Again, I hope there's an easier way someone can share.
