Variable for Slide Number in Storyline File, Not Published Output
Here's my scenario: In my course, I have a question bank of 15 questions, but only select 5 questions for the learner. If I used the variable Project.SlideNumber, it will only show numbers 1-5 on a question slide that might be the 10th question in the file. If it is the 10th question in the SL file, I would like it to show "10".
The purpose is I'm trying to use this as a debugging tool, so if there is an issue on question 10, Suzy can mark down question 10 instead of maybe the first few words of the question.
I hope I'm making some sense. Thanks in advance!

Perhaps the simple answer is to put a text box with the question number in the upper right corner. Once all your bugs are worked out, move the text box off the slide to prevent it showing in your published file.

Thanks Garth! That was my solution as well. I was just curious if there was a system variable that would help achieve what I wanted it to do. But yes, your solution makes the most sense if there isn't.
