How to change the look of an object if a certain slide has been visited?

[NatGi-pXyzoE]

Hello all,

I have a navigation or overview slide with different icons (=images) for the chapters of the training on it. How can I change the look of the icon when the user has visited a chapter and returns to the overview slide? So the users know, which chapter they have allready worked through?

I'm using Captivate 8.

Thank's a lot for any answers, I hope I could make myself clear.

Too bad that you are still on CP8, for CP9 this can be done with the new multistate feature. For CP8 you have to use Hide/Show for the images. I have published several blog posts for this work flow. Here is one about CP8:

Sorry, forgot: look at the first movie, I call such a menu slide a 'dashboard'.

Many thanks for your quick response. I will have a look on your blog.
Unfortunately CP9 is not yet used in my company...

Best regards

That is why I pointed to a post that used CP8

*I will have a look* I meant...

Thanks again for your help, this is the answer I was looking for.
However, it is rather more than I need, as I don't need to have the times the chapters are visited counted.

So I guess, if I only want to have the buttons changed, I use the hide, show and jump-to-slide actions and forget about the increment actions, right?

Indeed. That less complicated scenario was described in older posts.

Sorry, understood your sentence but forgot to correct the typo, just done now.
