Hi - I'm a new Storyline user. I'm trying to create a slide where the user works through 4 steps of using a particular document. I have placed 4 buttons on the primary slide - when the user clicks each button, they are taken to a layer with additional information and a question (ungraded) for them to answer. I would like to keep the user from going back to press on a prior button - if that button is pushed once, they can't go back - they have to move to the next button. I can't figure out how to do it. Is there a way to make them follow the buttons in a consecutive order?
I created a sample here. I have 4 buttons that display layers, each button (except the first) has an initial state of disabled. When you click on button 1 it changes the state of button 2 to normal as well as displaying layer 1.
I deselected the player next and prev buttons so they can't navigate that way on this screen. You can't go onto the next screen or previous screen until you've done all 4 steps because the next screen button is hidden until you click step 4. And you can't do the steps out of order. I hope this is what you are looking for.
Here is a screenshot of a trigger you can use so that once a button is pushed it cannot be pushed again. Basically, you change the state of the button to "Disabled" when clicked. The trick is that you have to have this trigger before the show layer trigger. Combine that with the above and I think you should be good.

Yep, that worked - thanks so much to both of you for your help!
