There are no states as such for the Next or Previous buttons, however you can add conditions to their triggers so that they only function if other things are in place, such as the state of on slide objects:
To do this open the Show COnditions link on the Trigger Wizard and Add you condition based on either a variable, shape or window.
Can you disable the Previous or Next buttons on slide layers without having to add conditions? It would be SOOOOOO much easier and so much less confusing for the learner!
My best solution so far has been to uncheck the next button for that slide and when the interaction is done take the user to an identical slide (copy) that has the next button. For the user it is seamless. You will still need to tell the user that they get the next button after the interaction is complete.

Hi Anthony,
Yes go to Storyline View
click ONCE on the slide that you want to desable the next button
look at the menu that is on your right there disable Next or Prev
This action you will have to do it one by one of the slides you want to desable the NEXT button
2nd OPTION
Open your slide and on the right menu
You will see a little ring like a tool click on it and then disable NEXT or PREV
I hope this helps, good luck

Cool. Thank you! I am currently using a true/false condition to advance, but appreciate the quick responses.
Thanks,
