Using JavaScript - we can create our own custom feedback box and set the information the way we desire depending on the context. The nice thing is that I can reuse this same box and simply change the information and eliminate the need to create multiple boxes with custom messages. In this tutorial, I will walk you through how we can accomplish this.

**1. Create your custom feedback layer.**

Select View \>\> Feedback Master

Select Insert Layer and select the newly created layer so it is highlighted.  
Be sure to place a check in the box for Text in the placeholders section in the ribbon. Color and style the layer as you desire.

We have a few things to do here…

You will want to rename the objects for your feedback layer so you can easily refer to them later.

I chose to name the Title Box as _feedbackTitle_  
I chose to name the Message Box as _feedbackMsg_  
I chose to name the Button as _feedbackBtn_

Set an onClick action for the button to Hide the Feedback Layer. You may change the text on the button at this time as well if you so desire. I set mine to OK

Finally, change the name of your feedback layer as desired by clicking Rename.  
For this example, I am changing the name to _myFeedback_

Close the Master View.

**3. Create an event that will call the feedback**

Your event can be whatever it needs to be in order to fit your project.  
For this example I am just making a button with the JavaScript code.

Create a shape on the stage to serve as your button and create an onClick action to Execute JavaScript.

Here is the code you will place in the JavaScript editor.  
Notice that I am showing the feedback box first before setting the text.  
Sometimes the order of things matters.

```auto
// Display the Feedback Box
prez.showFeedbackByName("myFeedback");

// Set the Title Text
prez.object("feedbackTitle").text(
    "Congratulations!"
);

// Set the Message Text
prez.object("feedbackMsg").text(
    "You have successfully created a customizable feedback box that you can easily modify!"
);

```

You would just need to change the title and message to match your project needs.

Now when the learner clicks my button - the feedback will show. This can be a great way to alert the learner to something important in your course.

Hopefully this will help someone or provide some ideas for a project.
