Hi guys. Thanks in advance for all your help. I've set a slide in a way that prevents the learner from moving to the next slide until he/she clicks in every option possible on the slide, and it works well. But when the user is coming back from a later slide it simply doesn't work, he/she clicks on every option once again and the next button simply prevents him/she to advance. ¿Any ideas? Please its important. Disabling back button is not an option for my client.
Set up a T/F variable, with the initial value = False.
Disable the NEXT button when the timeline starts (it sounds like you did this), but add a condition to that trigger so it only happens when the designated variable = False.
Enable the NEXT button after every option is clicked (something you already did).
Adjust the designated variable to True after every option is clicked. That should prevent the NEXT button from disabling when someone returns to the slide.
FYI: I can't tell for sure, but I'd guess you're enabling the NEXT button based on the options reaching a Visited state (or other custom state). In such cases, that sort of trigger works when the final object changes to the desired state, i.e., when something happens. But when the objects stay in that state, the trigger won't work again, because nothing "happens" to any of the states.
The same logic applies if you're enabling NEXT based on a variable having a given value. The trigger would work when the variable is adjusted to reach that value. But the trigger wouldn't work again if the variable remains at that value.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate not only your very useful answer, but also its speed. Thank you so much! It worked so well.
I'm glad I happened to be on the Forum site yesterday and could help.
