How To Make Learners Click and View All Items Before Continuing

In this Articulate Storyline tutorial, you’ll learn how easy it is to require learners to click all on-slide objects before continuing to the next slide.

This type of requirement is in Storyline's sweet spot. Using basic states and triggers, you can easily evaluate which items were clicked and set conditions based on the learner's on-slide actions.

Great Idea! This way we can also ensure that the content have been seen by the learner. Thanks for sharing.

Hi David, this worked for me when the buttons are only on the slide but not when I direct a button to another scene and then back. Any suggestions. I want to use with a Main Menu of options. Thanks!

Hi! thanks for the tips! How can we do this if using click and reveal interaction (but without buttons!) With the 'cards' template I am using, cards don't have "visited" states. https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-2-card-style-click-and-reveal

Any chance of a SL1 copy? My company doesn't want to upgrade quite yet ...

Thank you for this, it's really excellent! I am having a problem though, I've recreated this and it works when I preview the slide, BUT if i preview the scene this slide is in, the next button never returns to the normal state. HELP!

I just tried this using SL360; however, my interaction takes the user to a slide layer. Once they've visited all slide layers, then the Next button becomes re-enabled. The problem is -- if they go back to the Base Layer, the Next button is still disabled. What am I not seeing?

Deb: Can you share your file so we can see what's happening?

Hi Deb – just wanted to follow up with you to see if you're still having trouble with your file. If you can share your file, that would really help us pinpoint exactly what's going wrong. Usually it's something very simple.

I just went through this on a project I'm working on. I found that I had to also - change the slide properties to when re-visiting reset to initial state. The automatically decide option wasn't picking up that it should reset and on second viewing the Next button stayed hidden regardless of how many times I selected each object.

Great video, it really helped however I have came to the same problem as Deb Korbel above. My interactions are taking learners to layers. When i preview the project the menu next button will appear on the final layer clicked, however if i return to the base layer the menu next button disappears. Help please!

I am having the same problem as Emma C. My interaction goes to layers from buttons on my base. Even though the buttons on the base layer change to visited, the forward arrow is not enabled. BTW - I'm using Storyline 360. Please help!
