Next button not working until timeline of slide ends (imported PowerPoint)

I imported a PowerPoint that had slide timings on it, which converted to auto advancing in the slide setting as well as added triggers to go to next slide when timeline ends. I fixed both of those things, and now it advances when I click the Next button, but the button doesn't work until the slide duration is over. Any thoughts on what is happening or how I can fix it? Thank you!!

Edit - It appears this behavior is occurring due to the restricted navigation option. Anyone know if there is a way to restrict people from jumping around in the menu without viewing the slides in order, but not requiring them to spend a certain amount of time on each slide?

Yes, yes I know, free nav is better. It's a compliance thing. :-/ Sometimes you do what you have to do!

Hi, Rebekah -- Thanks for reaching out! My apologies if I am misunderstanding, but have you had a chance to take a look at this information on How to Restrict or Lock Navigation Throughout a Course?

I'd like to know too!! Rebekah, your issue is the same as mine. I also have trouble adjusting the time. How to Restrict or Lock Navigation doesn't explain the issue. Does anyone know how?

Rebekah, I've just resolved the problem!!!

You just need to adjust the time on Timeline on the bottom pane. It's simpler than I thought.

If you show the built-in menu, the user can click it and jump around.

Here is a sample using a custom menu. The "Restricted" slide has a menu that requires the user to visit slides in a specific order, but leave them when they want. It allows free navigation to go back to slides already visited.
