Navigation - Restricting - can only view current or prev slides

Hi Linda!

Details in this tutorial.

The navigation method for Presenter courses defaults to Free—meaning learners can view slides in any order. If you're building a linear course and want learners to move through it in order, switch to Restricted or Locked navigation. This prevents learners from using the menu to jump to other slides. Here's how to switch and how to decide which navigation method to choose:

1. Click the gear icon (the Additional Options button) below the menu.
2. When the Menu Options window appears, use the Navigation Restriction drop-down to choose one of the following:
   • Free: This lets learners click slide titles in the menu to navigate to any part of the course at any time. They can view slides in any order.
   • Restricted: This means learners can view the current slide and any slide they previously viewed, but they can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides.
   • Locked: This means learners can only view slides in the order you've designed. They can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides, nor can they use it to go back to any previously viewed slides.
3. Click OK when you're done.

Tip: If you just want to lock specific slides in your course so learners are required to view those slides in their entirety—regardless of the navigation method you chose for your overall course—you can do that in the Slide Properties manager.
