I am using a template from eLearning Heroes' Downloads. I have disabled the "Next" button using a trigger but it does not become "Normal" even after I set the condition for it to be - after the tabbed buttons have all been visited.
the goal is that only after all 5 buttons have been clicked (visited), the "Next" button becomes Normal.
Thanks for the tip! I did as you advised and it worked.
However, once I link those buttons out to another scene/slide, and learner returns to the slide by clicking the "Previous" button, the states of my button no longer stays visited.
As a result, the "Next" button doesn't appear even if learner has gone through all 5 scenes.
So I am back to square 1. Pls advise.
Have attached the file. Content not all in yet, so its only 7mb. Thanks.
You'll want to change the When Revisiting setting in Slide Properties for Slide 1.3. Right now it's set to Reset to Initial State but we need it to be Resume Saved State.
Thanks for responding Lauren. I found an alternative solution via a separate thread by James Holt. Using true/false variables instead to control the behavior.

Hi Benedict!
It looks like just a small change is needed!

Here's what the setting looks like:
After that, you're good to go!

The community support here is amazing. Love it. https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-disable-next-button-on-a-slide-until-all-buttons-are-visited#reply-691898
That's great, Benedict! I'm glad that you found what you needed and I appreciate you sharing the link for anyone following along.
Perhaps due to recent updates, there seems to be an easier way to do this:
1. Add trigger to Disable/hide next button when timeline starts on base layer
2. Ensure all objects/tabs have Visited states
3. Add trigger to Set Next button to Normal, when the STATE of (select objects/tabs) is Visited.
This doesn't dictate the order in which they can view the objects but it won't let the learners proceed without viewing them all first.
OMG so much easier than the other documentation I found.
