We have courses where the user must view every slide in order. BUT we also need to display the menu. is there a method to make the menu "unclickable" so the user can't jump ahead? Thank you very much

Hi Steve! Yes, there sure is.

  1. On the Home tab, click Player.
  2. When the player properties manager pops up, click the Menu button. 
  3. Click the gear icon at the bottom as shown in the picture below, and change the Navigation method to Restricted or Free. .
  • Restricted means learners can view the current slide and any slide they've previously viewed, but they can't use the sidebar menu to jump ahead or skip over slides.
  • Locked means learners can only view the slides in the order you've designed. They can't use the sidebar menu to jump ahead or skip over slides, nor can they use it to skip back to any previously viewed slides.

Hope that helps!
