How to remove the default next/previous button in Articulate storyline 360

Hi Kiran,

If you want to get rid of all of the player buttons you can select player button from the ribbon

Then set Menu & Controls to Off.

If you want to just turn the Next and Previous buttons off on a slide by slide basis, you can select that from each slide. To do this select the gear icon at the bottom of the Slide Layers panel.

The deselect the Previous and Next buttons and Swipe actions on the Slide Properties panel.

Hello Dave,

Thank you very much for your reply.

How I can set Menu & Controls to Off for Classic player style? Because, I'm not able to select On & Off from dropdown list.

In Slide Properties panel, we had already uncheck the Previous & Next button for all the questions. See below:

Hi Kiran,

Yes, that feature is not available for the classic player. 

If you've already deselected the checkboxes, and you are still seeing the buttons, then you could try adding a trigger to change the state of the button to disabled when the timeline starts.

I would press CTRL twice on story view there is a chance a next/previous button is still in there which will cause them to appear. 

There is however also an open bug for appearing buttons when revisiting slides  in certain circumstances

Hi Kiran,

When learners review a quiz (or revisit question slides they've already submitted), they'll see Articulate Storyline's built-in Prev and Next buttons in the lower right corner of the player—even if you've disabled them throughout your course. These navigation buttons are necessary for learners to review quiz slides.

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for your message.

As per my business partner requirement they don't want these buttons. We have created entire course is customized (i.e. buttons & everything).

If this not work, I will try adding a trigger to change the state of the button to disabled when the timeline starts.

I hope this will be work.

The Prev  button on my slides is not working.

I have set up the wizard to Jump to Prevous slide when user clicks previous slide.

What could be the issue, anybody facing similar problem.

Hi Vidhya,

Thanks for reaching out, and good call to start a case! I see my teammate, Jan, was able to walk you through the steps to fix the issue!

Let him know if this issue appears again!

Hi Ren,

Could you publish these steps? We are encountering the same problem.

Hi Drew, 

If you're having trouble with the navigation of your project, we recommend opening a support case here so our support team can take a look at your project file to see how it is currently setup. 

Looking forward to hearing from you! 

Is there a way in the player to just remove all the previous buttons and keep the next buttons?

I know it can be done on a slide-by-slide basis, but was looking for a more efficient way.

Hello S T,

 You can use Story View to make changes on multiple slides. 

• Storyline 360: Using Story View

To remove the previous buttons on all of the slides in a scene, follow these steps:

1. Press Ctrl + A to highlight all of the slides in a scene in Story View
2. Remove the check mark for the Previous Button in the Slide Properties section
   
   

Hope this helps!

Hi All,

I found a faster way to hide the next or previous button. 

1. Create a new trigger on the slide where you would like to hide the prev/next buttons.
2. Action: Change State of
3. Object: Next (or Previous) button
4. Set state to Hidden
5. When the timeline starts on this slide.

See attached screenshot.

Thanks for the tip :)

Just to add, our project has custom navigation throughout and these triggers worked on the Review layer - however, first I had to enable the player buttons on the base layer, so I could add the triggers - then these stayed on the Review layer, even after disabling the player buttons everywhere 

Hope this helps someone 

Thank you for this Jina :) I was facing a similar issue, I just used the trigger and it works! :)
