Delayed appearance for next button

Jan 09, 2024

Hi all, Storyline newbie here that greatly appreciates your help in advance!

I creating a slide and want the next button to be hidden until all of the slide layers have been visited. I've read threads and watched several videos on the process of creating T/F variables/corresponding triggers and am stumped without success.

-I have the button set to "hidden" when the timeline starts.

-I have set T/F variables for each layer.

-I have triggers for each variable to turn to "true" when the layer is clicked.

-Lastly, I have a trigger to change the state of the button to "normal" when all layers have been visited/value is true.

Am I missing something? I've read that this can be halted by transitions, but I don't have any applied to the layer changes.

Thanks for your help!

FYI: Here's a post with a file that demonstrates various ways to control the Next button (including when you want to require users to view layers): https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-controlling-the-next-button-101

If that doesn't help you, I suggest you upload a .story file. It'll be easier for someone to troubleshoot by viewing/testing a file.

Here are the best practices for uploading a .story file:

Only include slides that are involved in the problem.
Be sure all objects, layers, motion paths, and variables have meaningful names.
If there is proprietary content, replace or delete it. For example, replace proprietary text with ipsum lorem text.
