I wish I could move back and forward only for the viewed slides (for the entire timeline). In addition I would lock, from the menu, all slides not yet viewed.
I can implement this logic using the default player?
at this moment, I managed to lock the slides not yet viewed through a variable. The problem is the menu, the menu must be visible but I can't allow to select the slides not yet viewed.
I don't think you need the variable. Open the Player Properties and select the Menu Tab. At the bottom of that screen is a gear. Select the gear and the Menu Options pop-up will appear. In the Navigation Restriction Dropdown select "Restricted"
you have your slide properties set to advance automatically. Change this to by user and then remove the triggers on each slide that say jump to next slide when timeline ends and just leave the trigger jump to next slide when user clicks the next button
It is set up in the slide properties to advance by user. There is a trigger on each slide to jump to next slide when timeline ends. The player is set to 'restricted' so they can't use the next to jump ahead but they can use previous to view slides that have already been visited.
In my example you can go back and forward on the menu if you have previously visited a slide. I don't think I understand what you mean if that is not the behaviour you are after.
Hello, My organization prefers to lock the forward screen option, because they do not want users skipping content. However, I would like the option to go back only. Is that possible?
Look at enabling Restricted navigation in your courses. That will allow a user to go back to slides they've already seen but not jump ahead of the next slide in line.

Thanks for your help
I tried to enable the Restricted option, but locks also the back and next buttons of the player.
Hi Pino
you do want to use the default SL player or not? If using a restricted menu, the next button won't become clickable until after the timeline ends.
I want to use the default SL player, but if I set a restricted menu
(tab HOME->Player->Menu->Additional options->Navigation Restriction = Restricted)
the next buttons is clickable but it still does not work after the timeline ends
I attach a test with restricted menu.
What am I doing wrong?
PS:
but if I want to create my buttons back and next to realize the logic described in the first post, I have to make use of the variables?
Thanks for your help
Hi Pino

But if I want to advance the slides also automatically?
My target is to automatically advance the slide but the user can move back and forward only for the viewed slide
it's possible with the default player?
Hi PIno
see if this works how you want.
It is set up in the slide properties to advance by user. There is a trigger on each slide to jump to next slide when timeline ends. The player is set to 'restricted' so they can't use the next to jump ahead but they can use previous to view slides that have already been visited.
Hi Wendy,
In your sample project I can move only back to the slide views.
If I go back, I should also can go forward to the slides viewed
Thank you very much for your assistance, I am grateful to you
