<\/p>\nSlide layers are used to create different interactions and sequenced scenarios within Articulate Storyline 360 eLearning modules. As indicated by its name, slide layers provide an extra layer of content that appears over the main slide. You can add many layers to a slide, which provides a lot of flexibility on how you want your content to be displayed. In this blog, we\u2019ll talk about how to do some of the functions with slide layers:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can add as many layers as you want to each slide. To add a layer, click the New Layer <\/strong>icon in the Slide Layers <\/strong>panel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alternatively, go to the Insert <\/strong>tab on the ribbon and click Slide Layer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To duplicate layers that already exist on the same slide, select the layer(s) in the Slide Layers <\/strong>panel and click Duplicate Selected Layer <\/strong>icon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To copy layers from one slide to another:<\/p>\n It’s always a good idea to name your layers with a simple, descriptive name to make it easy to identify when you\u2019re creating triggers. To name a layer:<\/p>\n You can change the properties for each layer on a slide. Select the layer(s) you want to edit, and then click the icon.<\/p>\n Make your choices as needed and click Close<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You have slide visibility options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are the visibility options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can find different options at the base layer to control the slide navigation and gestures for the buttons and swipe. You can choose which buttons or swipes to add or remove, and you can customize these options for specific slides. For example, you may choose to only have the \u201cNext\u201d button for this layer with no option \u201cBack\u201d button.<\/p>\n You can also customize the player features. For example, you can choose whether to use the default player features or add custom ones for a specific slide. Similarly, you may need to add resources for a specific slide or remove the notes of this slide, etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also reset all the settings to default by clicking on the Reset<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Layer properties give you a feature to Hide objects on the base layer, which allows you to hide everything on the main layer. If you want to hide a base layer only:<\/p>\n If you want to delete a layer, select the Layer and click the trash can icon or just press the Delete key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n Working with layers won\u2019t be complete without adding triggers to show interactions, animations and\/or achieve scenario goals. You\u2019ll be able to add triggers to display or hide a layer, start a media, show steps and create feedback layers.<\/p>\n Articulate Storyline 360 Slide Layer features and options provide a variety of ways to help you design interactive eLearning modules for your audience to encourage engagement with the material. Enjoy using layers\u2019 capabilities and properties to achieve the best possible results.<\/p>\n Reference Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n Articulate Storyline 360 Tutorial: What are Slide Layers and how to Work With it? <\/a><\/p>\n Slide Layers in Storyline 360 – E-Learning Heroes<\/a><\/p>\n Best Tips For Working With Slide Layers in Articulate Storyline<\/a><\/p>\n![\"slide](\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide-Layers.png\")
