Disabling past triggers

I scoured the forums but couldn't find a topic similar to this so I'm hope I'm not creating some redundancy with this question.
I have a series of introductory slides that act similar to a video, and upon completion the eLearning a trigger activates which automatically switches the eLearning to the next scene. However, this has created an adverse affect as the user cannot go back to the title slide (it automatically kicks them back to the next scene). What I'm hoping to do is create another trigger or variable that disables that initial trigger once it's activated, i.e. I want the trigger to work once and then have it disabled. Is this possible?

I would create a T/F variable like TriggerUsed and set it to false.
Create two triggers in this order:
Assign True to variable TriggerUsed when timeline ends
Jump to Scene ... when timeline ends if TriggerUsed == False
Thank you!
Did that solve your problem. If you are only wanting the module to jump to the next scene when the scene is complete, then I would set the trigger to be a true/false variable to changes to false at the beginning of the timeline and true at the end and have the scene only jump when the trigger is true. That way whenever the user comes back to the scene, the trigger will change back to false until it reaches then end. Something along those lines. Otherwise you could do a second trigger that is titled review and only allow the scene to jump when the review trigger is false.
