[HowTo] Multiple correct answers in a Freeform Hotspot
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but I happened to come across it today as I was freeforming* in Storyline.
You know how on a freeform hotspot slide you can have zero/one/many incorrect hotspots but only one correct? Turns out you can have as many correct as you like. What you need to do is this follow this procedure :
- Create a new hotspot freeform slide.
- Set your correct and incorrect answers - at this point you can only set one correct hotspot, but we will set the rest later, but do go ahead and set all the incorrect ones.
- Now remove the freeform from the interaction by going to Insert-->Remove Freeform
- Now copy and paste the correct hotspot (the only green one) to other areas of your screen.
- Once you've set them all up, then go ahead and revert back to freeform by going to Insert-->Convert to freeform-->Hotspot
With any luck you will end up with something similar to the following :
That's all there is to it.
Enjoy!

* That thing you do, when you don't know what to do, but go ahead and do it anyway, instead of getting as far away from the PC as humanly possible.

I'd like to set up a slide where the learner has to select two hotspots for a correct answer. Is this possible?

Hi Debbie
Try using Transparent shapes instead of hotspots - so a shape with fill (100% transparent) and use that in the form view as the correct selection - you won't get the little spinning wheel - but it may work for you. Might need to add some sort of 'selected' state to the selected areas so the user knows they've been clicked.
Not ideal but it works - see attached rough sample
