Do I have to disable the Player Forward/Backward Buttons and wipe function manually...

Apr 22, 2021

when I show the Feedback Layer?
Problem: if the feedback layer is shown, I have to buttons on it and i want to force the user to use this buttons. But in my course the user can still click on the player buttons and can wipe to move in the course...
I thought, while the feedback Layer is shown, the navigation function of the player is turned off.... isn't it?

thx for your answers...

Hi, Oliver,

For a question slide that provides immediate feedback, the SUBMIT button is automatically disabled when the user reaches the Correct or Incorrect feedback layer. The built-in way to advance is to click the Continue button on the layer. 

By design, the PREV and NEXT buttons don't show when someone is taking a quiz. In fact, if you look at a question's default Slide Properties, only the SUBMIT button is selected:

  • The built-in functionality will show the PREV and NEXT buttons if the user is allowed to Review the quiz. 

It is possible to manually add the PREV and/or NEXT buttons to a question slide. If so, then you'd also have to manually control when them. 

If you're asking about layers in general: showing a layer doesn't automatically impact the Player navigation. That would have to be done with custom triggers.
