How did I disable the Next button in this old story?
Aug 27, 2020
I'm wondering if anybody can help me figure this out.
I have some modules I made perhaps 2 years ago.
Module is a series of slides, each containing a video. The next button is disabled until the learner watches the full video. When the video ends, the next button returns to a state of Normal.
This is the desired behavior and it appears to be working just fine.
What I'm puzzled about is that when I recently opened my old .story file, I see no triggers on the slides to govern this behavior (see attached screen snippet). So how did I manage it?!
I went looking at these old files as I recently made a new module of a similar style. I put in triggers to disable the next button at start of timeline and return to a state of normal when the timeline ends, but it is acting a bit glitchy. Sometimes the Next button doesn't release - I've assigned this module to ~300 users and maybe 20 of them came back to me with this problem. This was never a reported problem with the old modules....but what did I do?! Have I forgotten something totally obvious?

Michelle, does this article help? https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-How-to-Restrict-or-Lock-Navigation
WOW so I just totally forgot that the "restricted" lock function could be used to control the behavior of the Next/Previous buttons.
Way to make a lot of work for myself ! :D
Thank you Brian
hahaha, no worries, happens to me all the time, glad to help.
With that being said, it *might* be helpful if there was some sort of visual indicator in the triggers panel saying that some behaviors are being controlled by restricted navigation settings.
