Solved

Bookmark property "Selected Visuals" vs "All Visuals"

"You can now change the bookmark through the bookmark’s menu to Selected visuals instead of All visuals, and it will only apply the bookmark to those visuals you selected." What does the latter mean? I cannot produce a use case.

    Hi FrankT (and RolandsP),

    Now it works on my side too, but I think that more explanation is indeed needed how to configure these bookmarks. Note the following:

    • Make sure you do not have a bookmark selected when creating a new one. Otherwise it will overwrite this bookmark with the new selected visuals. You can only deselect the bookmark by making an image visible/hidden.
    • After creating the bookmark with selected visuals, you cannot see which visuals are related to this bookmark. They are no longer marked in gray. 
    • In case of multiple toggle buttons you have at least four times a visual called 'image'. By switching on the Title, give it a suitable name and switch off the title, you can distinguish them (thanks FrankT for this tip). 

     

    You can see the configuration of the bookmarks on our blog and YouTube:

      Thanks, of course I know this video.

      Amanda has shown how to select some visuals, but (unfortunately or deliberately) not how to set up the bookmarks.

      It's easy to produce a toggle, but for the time being I could not produce two toggles working independently.

      For me "Selected Visuals" does not work and for the time being I don't know anybody who got this working.

      What about you?

    Use Ctrl to select the visual be control by the bookmark. The rest of visuals not selected will remain the same when you click the bookmark.
