TurboDemo Support - How do I create a transparent pause button?

Why would you use this feature?

  • You have a slide that contains a menu with multiple links on it and you do not want this slide to continue automatically onto the next one
  • You do not want to use the success/error message ("Click Area" option) to appear after you have clicked on a field to move to the next slide
  • You want the final slide of your demo to remain visible instead of jumping back to the first slide

For TurboDemo version 7.0 or later

  1. With your TurboDemo project open, select the slide you wish to add the pause button to
  2. From your toolbar select "View | Single Slide Mode"
  3. From your toolbar select "Slide | Insert Pause Button"
