Is there a way to remove the next button on specific slides in storyline? I have a couple of slides that I don't want the learner to be able to jump forward. I know I can turn the trigger off, but it confuses the learner when they have that button displayed.
Also, with the tabs interaction set up, is there a way to not have the next button show up or work until they have reviewed all the tabs from that slide?
I dont think so, as I believe the next buttons are there for the whole slide (or not). Be interesting if I am incorrect here as I have wondered this as well.
To get around the problem, I have done a similar thing, where each of the tabs has a state of 'visited' (which to make it easier for the learner I had a little green tick show on it as well). Then you can add a button to the slide that would have the same function as the 'next' button, but only appears when all of your tabs have changed state to 'visited'.
Not perfect as it is slightly different design wise from the rest, but it provides this functionality- of forcing people to view information!
The answer is YES.. on the trigger to Jump to Next Slide when they click on Next button.. - add conditions
You can work with States or Variables to do this.
On states - it would go something like.. only when status of object is = visited
On variables - let's say you create a T/F variable "tab visited", you can set it to false initially that changes to True when a tab is visited.. so your condition will go something like: if tab visited = true

Hi Debbie,
If you go to 'Story View' (top right), then in the slide controls (bottom left), you can choose to turn the next and previous buttons on and off.
You can also do this on a slide from the slide properties (little cog symbol).
Hope that helps
Thank you - that was a big miss by me lol.

Just to make sure it's clear - the Next button will stay visible but will not jump to the next slide until the conditions you have set are met.
Or that! More consistent look with Donna's idea.
Thank you! I will give it a try.
