If I want the learner to watch the entire lesson without being able to skip ahead and then when revisiting, be able to skip around as needed, should I set all slide properties to resume saved state but keep my menu to restricted? ( I feel like that only prevents them from using the menu to move ahead without viewing a slide, but they could still click the next button and skip through a slide). Also, there's always a 'resume' and a 'restart'. I want to get rid of the restart-is that possible?
Hi Becky! You're just a few clicks away from getting this set up the way you'd like.
Restricted navigation will prevent learners from using the menu OR the Player Previous and Next buttons until the slides' timelines are finished. Check out this article which goes deeper on how that works. I think using the restricted option would be perfect for your needs. You can revisit any slides that have already been viewed, in any order.
Resume functionality can be set so that the course always resumes, rather than offering the choice that you see in your screenshot. Go into your Player Properties window to make that choice.
yes, I know that works...until, the replay function is clicked upon
resuming a lesson that is finished. If you don't hit resume, that will
start everything over again. Can I remove that function??
You could set the course to 'Always Resume'. Then they will not be presented with an option. It's covered in this documentation that Crystal shared above as well.
Nope, if you're using restricted navigation that will still be in place when you enable the resume behavior set to Always. Those two features sound like it'll accomplish what you need for the course to restrict the learner the first time through and have them pick up where they left off.
You can set a trigger to disable the Next button until animation/timeline/interaction has been all completed so that the Learner has to complete the slide to advance.

Let me know how that works!

okay, but is this going to allow someone to skip around before they have
completed the lesson fully, once?
Thanks.
