You could try the restricted setting instead of locked. But it only applies to the menu. If you have the default Previous/Next buttons they override the restriction/lock. If you have the seekbar enabled it could be used to fast advance a slide. However if you don't have the seekbar enabled the user will not be able to review slides easily that they have already reviewed or rewind a current slide to review.
The information on how to set up some restricted navigation in your course is detailed in this tutorial, and as Lara mentioned you'll want to keep in mind that if you use Locked or Restricted navigation,this only affects your learners' ability to click on menu items to navigate.If your slides include a Previous or Next button, users will still be able to click thoseto move forward and backward in your course at will. To prevent that, there are a few things you can do:
One approach is to remove the Previous and/or Next buttons from specific slides by changing the Slide Properties. Then, either make the slide advance automatically (which you can also do in the Slide Properties), or create your own Previous and/or Next buttons and use the Timeline to delay the buttons' appearance until the slide is finished playing.
Another approach is to add a condition to the Next button's trigger, so that the button works only if a specific condition is met (such as the slide timeline ending). For more on how to add conditions to your triggers, see this tutorial.

Well, thank you very much to both.
Happy to help Manoella.
