Return to last slide

Question

Hi guys. My project has 2 help slides and we can navigate between them, (they are slides 2 and 3 on the project). Slide 3 can be accessed from any of the other slides, and from there the user can decide which aspect of help they need. My problem is that I would like the user to be able to return to the slide from which they accessed the help. Obviously, a simple button with a 'return to next slide' action is no good, as if they access both help slides and then try to return they are in the 'help' loop. So my question is "how do I do that?"

As always, all help greatly appreciated.

Indeed, you cannot use the system variable cpInfoLastVisitedSlide because that could get the user in a loop. You'll have to store the value the slide from where the user navigates, in a user variable (will label it v_last), to 'fix' it. I would recommend to use the same event that triggers the navigation to the help slides to execute that command, which means you'll have a standard advanced action like this:

Assign v_last with cpInfoCurrentSlide
Jump to Help_one

The Success event of the Return button on both Help slides will then trigger this action:

Expression cpCmndGotoSlide = v_last - 1

Depending on the setup of slides, maybe you'll need to add Continue to that return action.
