Action Button is now an invisible button or invisible hyperlink

After removing all the fills from the action button, it is now invisible on the screen. You will note that the selection handles, indicated by small, white circles, show that the object is currently selected, even though you see no color present. When you click somewhere else on the screen, the selection handles disappear, but PowerPoint recognizes that the object is still there on the slide.

Test the Invisible Hyperlink

Before continuing on, it is a good idea to test your invisible hyperlink.

1. Choose Slide Show > View Show or press the F5 shortcut key.
   
   
2. When you reach the slide with the invisible hyperlink, click on the linked object and the slide should change to the one you linked to.

After testing the first invisible hyperlink, if necessary, continue adding more invisible hyperlinks on this same slide to other slides, as in the example of the quiz.
