NEXT button has to be clicked more than once

Jul 10, 2015

Sometime the NEXT button has to be clicked a couple of times to work. Is that a bug that's been resolved with the newest release?

Hi Debra, 

Articulate Storyline 1, restricted and locked navigation settings only affected the menu. In contrast, the navigation settings in Articulate Storyline 2 affect both the menu and the player buttons, making it much easier to control the overall navigation for your course. To learn how to restrict or lock navigation in Storyline 2, see this article.

Hi Debra,

I'm not sure what you mean by previous lessons? Are they linked all with the same .story file? If so, the only way to jump between specific slides would be to use the player menu. 

Having to click it more than once is likely based on your slide's overall timeline as I mentioned - in Storyline 2, the menu navigation settings also impact the next/prev buttons in terms of not allowing the user to leave th eslide until it's been completed. You could change the slide timeline to much shorter (if there isn't audio/animation/media) so that the user can advance when they'd like.

Yes, there's one story file that is divided into Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc. The slides are  set so that the user advances by clicking the NEXT, CONTINUE, or some other button as directed. Should I still adjust the timeline so that so many clicks on the NEXT button are necessary to advance. The problem is only with the NEXT button.

I have audio that corresponds to each slide. I have realized the reason I cannot proceed when clicking on "Next" is because the audio is still playing, even if silenced. Is there a way to keep the navigation as "restricted" but still move forward without listening to the audio? Obviously I could set it to Free, but I do not want to have freedom in the menu bar--just the ability to click Previous or Next.
