Is there a way to get a note and student input box to appear after an action button is pressed? I don’t want too much showing up on the screen right away. I want my students to be able to fill out a table, then hit submit, then have to answer a question.

You can use the hidden sink for each one. It’ll stay hidden while the button hasn’t been pressed, but you can obviously use all types of conditions.

`hidden: buttonName.pressCount=0`

Thank you! I am new to CL so appreciate any help I get 🙂 The hidden sink worked perfectly.
