Is there a quick way to add a custom "next" button to every slide?
Nov 01, 2016
Hi Folks, Here is my dilemma:
My client wants to force the learner to listen to the audio completely on every slide before the next button will function. This needs to be done in a series of LONG courses that have already been mostly constructed. I went about adding a variable for every page and setting it to false and having the variable change to true when the audio completes and having he next button work only when the variable is true but ... GEEZ LOUISE that's gonna take me days to do that on every single page! So now I am thinking about cheating to save time by having a custom "next" button on the page that a triggers a change to the next page ... but I am wondering if there is a "nuclear option" whereby I can add the custom next button with the trigger function to all the pages at once?
I'd appreciate any ideas!

Hi Bruce!
Do you need a custom Next button?
You can restrict or lock navigation in an Articulate Storyline course to prevent learners from skipping ahead without actually finishing the content. Here's how.
Otherwise, the Slide Master may be your best friend. Things placed on the topmost Master show up on any slide using any of the layouts below it, while placing an item on one of the layouts causes it to show up only on those slides using that specific layout.
Thanks Walt ... I feel kinda dumb for not thinking about a master slide!
Appreciate the help!
I could use a custom next button! :)
Glad you were able to get the assistance that you needed here Bruce :)
Triggers, along with their variables, can also be copied and pasted. Makes it easier to just select the object/action then creating a whole new trigger with variables.
