I imported a PowerPoint that had slide timings on it, which converted to auto advancing in the slide setting as well as added triggers to go to next slide when timeline ends. I fixed both of those things, and now it advances when I click the Next button, but the button doesn't work until the slide duration is over. Any thoughts on what is happening or how I can fix it? Thank you!!
Edit - It appears this behavior is occurring due to the restricted navigation option. Anyone know if there is a way to restrict people from jumping around in the menu without viewing the slides in order, but not requiring them to spend a certain amount of time on each slide?
Yes, yes I know, free nav is better. It's a compliance thing. :-/ Sometimes you do what you have to do!
I'd like to know too!! Rebekah, your issue is the same as mine. I also have trouble adjusting the time. How to Restrict or Lock Navigation doesn't explain the issue. Does anyone know how?
If you show the built-in menu, the user can click it and jump around.
Here is a sample using a custom menu. The "Restricted" slide has a menu that requires the user to visit slides in a specific order, but leave them when they want. It allows free navigation to go back to slides already visited.

Hi, Rebekah -- Thanks for reaching out! My apologies if I am misunderstanding, but have you had a chance to take a look at this information on How to Restrict or Lock Navigation Throughout a Course?

Rebekah, I've just resolved the problem!!!
You just need to adjust the time on Timeline on the bottom pane. It's simpler than I thought.
Glad to hear you are all set, Hyunjoo, and thanks for stopping back in with an update! :)
