Branching Scenarios is an interactive element that allows the user to make decisions that influence the development of the content.

Since the path is not linear, it becomes a dynamic, personalized, and meaningful experience, ideal for simulating real cases and encouraging analysis in decision-making.
This resource transforms static text into an interactive experience, with branches and alternative scenarios.
It is not a game or a simple exercise, but rather an exploratory and interactive element, where the main goal is to experiment and learn freely.

💡 We recommend carefully planning the content and structure of this element before you start, as it is one of the most advanced resources in isEazy Author and may be somewhat complex.

You can see here an example of how to configure this exercise:

Usage Examples

With branching scenarios, you can recreate situations where the user has to choose how to act. Here are some examples:

• Claims Resolution (Customer Service)

• Office Conflict (Leadership)

Configuring Branching Scenarios

Cover

Inside the editor, you will find the usual customization options for the cover:

• Color: Choose one of the template colors and adjust its opacity. You can also select any other color using the custom color editor.

• Gradient: Choose one of the template gradients and control its opacity and angle. You can also select any other gradient using the custom gradient editor.

• Image: If you decide to use an image for the cover, you will have the same configuration options as in the Image element.
  Check the related article on the Image element for more details.

Title
You can add text as a title or introduction, which will be displayed on the cover of the element.

Scenes

To add content to your interactive element, start by creating the first scenes of your Branching Scenarios by clicking the plus symbol to create your first scene.

For each scene, you can edit the following elements:

• Scene name: Assign a name to your scene. This name will not be visible to the user but is very important for configuration, as these names will appear in the scene list and help the content creator stay oriented at all times. Keep in mind that this element involves multiple levels of depth.

• Scene title: You can add a title to each of the scenes in your Branching Scenarios.

• Text: To complete each scene, you can add formatted text (bold, italics, bullet points), which will appear directly on your slide.

• Multimedia: You can enrich each scene with audio, video, and images to provide context. Each resource has its own configuration options, as explained in the corresponding element.

Scene Map

✨ The Scene Map is a key tool within the editor. Thanks to it, you can move freely through your content scenario. Just click on the part of the scenario you want, and you will go directly to that scene, decision point, or response to continue editing without interruptions.

This way, you can:

• Navigate visually and quickly between scenes, decision points, or responses.

• Go directly to the point you want to edit.

• Always maintain an overview of your content structure.

The Scene Map gives you total control over your editing, without losing sight of the interactive element’s organization. It is visible at all levels as you navigate, so you always know exactly where you are.

Branching

At the end of each block of scenes, you can configure what we call Branching. Enabling branching will create a decision point (usually a question), which, depending on the user’s choice, will lead them to one of the next branches of the journey.
Activate the Branching button to display the decision point configuration.

‼️ Before starting, define how you want to structure your Branching Scenarios, to make navigation easier.

Decision Point

After activating the Branching button, you will access a new level where you can configure a Decision Point. In this level, you will present the options the user must choose to continue their journey.

Add the decision-making question with multiple response options.

Write the question text in the editor and create responses by clicking the plus symbol.

You can duplicate them, reorder them, or delete them, as with any list of elements.

For each response, you can add text and assign an image.

Continue your Branching Scenarios from each response by creating new scenes or additional branches.

If a response does not lead to new scenes or a new decision point, that branch will end, and the user will be able to go back or restart the Branching Scenario from that point.

Final User Navigation

In each scene (except the initial one), the final user will find navigation controls (left and right arrows) to move to the previous or next step.

When reaching the last scene of a branch, the user can go back to the previous scene or restart (return to the beginning of the Branching Scenarios) by pressing the ↩️ arrow.

The user can freely navigate through the Branching Scenarios, choosing a different branch each time.

You can create as many scenes as needed before reaching the end of your journey.
This gives you the freedom to develop the process or situation you want to narrate, add content, propose situations, include multimedia, and prepare users for the final decision.

👉 To ensure manageable content consumption, this element supports up to 10 levels of depth in terms of possible branches.

Remember: it’s important to plan your Branching Scenario before creating it in the tool—think about how the situation should unfold, what information each text requires, and the possible user choices.

This way, you’ll create an interactive, dynamic, and easy-to-navigate learning path, allowing users to explore different routes and return to the beginning to try out new decision combinations. 🌟

Editing Branching Scenarios in Accessible Mode

• Add alternative text and long descriptions for all images in any scene or decision point response.

• Assign a title by choosing from different headings so learners can identify the element. You can use H2, H3, H4, or text to define your text hierarchy across all slides.

• Try not to repeat this title in the project section.
