- "4704c58a-32fd-4094-abe8-52863ce6b3fc
- There are several rules that determine if a frame can be hidden or skipped.
- : If all of the frames in a topic are hidden for a specified play mode, publishing for that play mode reports an error in the activity log.
- All frames hidden
- : Not all frames can be hidden. You cannot hide Introduction or End frames. You can hide Explanation, Decision, No Context, and Action frames.
- Exceptions
- Note:
- Skipped Frames
- : In Try It!, Do It!, and Know It? modes, hiding the primary action in a frame also hides the alternative action, and conversely, hiding the alternative action also hides the primary action.
- Alternative Actions
- Note:
- : In Try It!, Do It!, and Know It? modes, hiding the frame for any alternative path disables the frame for all alternative paths. If the Alternative Path frame is hidden for a play mode, the Player skips that frame and continues to use the primary path.
- Alternative Paths
- Note:
- :
- Decision frames
- If the Decision frame is hidden for a play mode, the Decision frame is skipped and the Player continues to use the default path.
- Jump-in points that point to a frame that is hidden for a play mode do not appear in the Jump-in point list.
- :
- Jump-in points
- : In Know It? mode, hidden frames are not part of the calculated score.
- Scoring

- There are other situations where frames are hidden by being skipped. Hiding the bubble for certain frames also skips them.
- Hide the Bubble
- The following frames are skipped when you hide the bubble:
- Start and End frames in See It! and Try It! modes
- Explanation frames in See It! and Try It! modes
- Action frames with the Delay Time set to Infinite in See It! mode only
- These frames are also skipped in the following situations:
- Explanation frames with the Delay Time set to "Skip" and no custom bubble text marked for See It/Try It! modes: The frame is skipped when played in See It! and Try It! modes.
- Explanation frames with the Delay Time set to "Skip" and custom text marked for See It/Try It! modes: The frame is skipped in See It! mode, but appears in Try It! mode.
- Explanation frames in Do It! and Know It? modes if the bubble has no text marked for display in those play modes: These are skipped even if the frames contain sound.
- Decision frames in Know It? mode are skipped.
