Now finish setting up your end story slides.
After entering the end of the story, then insert a shape on that slide which will enable a person to click on to go back to the pick a path slide to choose a different path. Have another ‘button’ which you can click on to go to the end of the slides to completely finish.
Look for different buttons available under Insert, Shapes.
Hint: Once you have action settings set, copy and paste the button onto another slide and just edit the settings as relevant.
