Can't Change Navigation from Restricted to Free

Hi Bill,

Just to make sure that you haven't locked any slide navigation in Slide Properties, take a quick peek at this tutorial:

http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/locking-the-player-controls-on-selected-slides.aspx

Also, if you saved the template with a new name, you'll need to make sure you select the new template from the publish menu in Publish Properties -> Player Template: 

http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/publishing-a-presentation-for-the-web.aspx

And to clear up any kind of cache issue that may be causing the problem, you can create a new folder on your desktop & then publish to that new folder.

Keep us updated, and good luck!

Nope, no luck - same behavior.

No slide is locked in Slide Properties

Player template, properties show the same player template as specified in Player Templates

[except that it says "(In Project)"]

created a new, never used before  c-drive folder "c:\000000" which is the web publish location

When publishing is complete and presentation started (as flash), nasvigation remains restricted.

Hey Bill,

After making your changes and when you go to publish your presentation, make sure that you're selecting the Player Template that you just saved. The drop-down for Player Template will automatically select the last player template that you published with. Depending upon the changes that you made, the selected player template might not be the one that you expect.

Make sure that "In Project" isn't shown in the Player Template name. Otherwise, you'll continue to publish the player template that doesn't have your changes.

Interesting I have 2 templates  one is named with (In Project) appended

the other is not ??!! I have no idea how this happened - but am re-publishing now

to see if that is the root cause.

Will let you know.

That was the problem.

Shame on me - pilot error

Mortifying

Thanks for you help & patience

Awesome, Bill! Glad you got it resolved, and I'm happy to help. That's what we're here for

Now I have successfully switched to restricted navigation; however, at Articulate Online runtime, when I click on a slide that has not yet been viewed, the system simply presents a dialog box with an OK button and X in upper rights corner. All the text that used to explain that the student must navigatye slides in the proper order is no longer present  ?

This is unexpected behavior.

I am good at pilot error, any thoughts on what I have done wrong ?

Hey Bill,

Glad to hear the navigation is working successfully, but the missing text certainly is unexpected. We'll get it worked out, though.

Can you start by trying this:

and letting me know if that resolves the issue?

Thanks!

Seems to have corrected the problem!

Now how did those text labels get changed ?

I have never used that tab in player templates and there's no one else here but me ??!!

Hmm, I'm guessing it happened when you switched away from the (In Project) template.

Glad you got the issue resolved, though! Keep us in the loop with any other questions you may have...
