Hi all I have disabled the Prev and Next button for all the slides. I have created a custom button to allow reset the quiz. I published the project to both html5 and flash. The flash version works perfectly fine but the issue with HTML5 version is that the "Prev" and the "Next" button would appear after revisiting the quiz (as seen in the picture). They only appear after revisit the quiz. I am using Storyline Update 1. Is it a bug of this version or I have done something wrong. Thanks. Yang

Hi Marge, Since I can't see your project file I am going in blind with my answer, but maybe it can help. Possible fix When you are enabling the option to 'ALLOW USERS TO REVIEW QUIZ' (found under the options on the result slide) you are actually creating an extra layer for each of your question slides. And in contrary to popular belief, you can manipulate this layer and do anything you want with it on this layer (like adding an extra button with a trigger that brings the user to any place you want). How to see this extra layer in your project For each question, make sure the view is set to 'FORM VIEW'. Then look for the FEEDBACK AND BRANCHING options found at the bottom of the form. Underneat the CORRECT and INCORRECT feedback you will see a box POST-QUIZ REVIEW. This box is empty by default. This means that you will never see this when you go back to SLIDE VIEW. What you however do see on the slide view (automatically) is the CORRECT and the INCORRECT layer. This makes sense because there is something to display on these layers since the feedback text is pre-filled. Now comes the clue of the story. If you type something in the POST-QUIZ REVIEW box there is a new layer added to the SLIDE VIEW. Storyline will now add a new layer called REVIEW. Now you can play around with this layer and have full control on what you want to achieve in your project when users are reviewing a particular question. Extra tip The REVIEW layer added by using the POST-QUIZ REVIEW field listens to the REVIEW FEEDBACK layout in your FEEDBACK MASTER. If you work with master slides, you now know where to change the default look and contents of this layer. Let me know if this was helpfull in any way!

I don't understand the reasoning behind forcing the default navigation buttons to appear because "Storyline may not know that you set up your own custom buttons." Then why does the feature to turn off the default navigation exist? Wouldn't any page potentially be without navigation if that's the reasoning you're using?

I know this is an old thread.. but if anyone is still listening, I'm wondering how to set a trigger for that Next button that appears by default when revisiting a quiz slide. I've got a scene that has a series of quiz questions. You access that scene from a main menu slide in another scene. And at the end of the quiz questions, I want users to be able to return to that main menu slide again. This works fine first time through... the Continue button has a trigger that returns them to the main menu slide. If they revisit the Quiz scene, they can review each of their questions/answers, clicking Next to go from question to question. This is fine. But when they get to the last question, the Next button doesn't do anything. And there is no way to add a trigger to the Next button on that slide to send it back to the main menu slide... because the Next button was turned off for all of the quiz questions. It's only showing up because it is the default behavior in Storyline, as noted above. As a possible solution, is there a way to add a button on that last slide that will only display when the quiz question is being revisited? And then I could add a trigger to that button? Thanks for any help here.

I found a solution to this. I chose to enable the prev and next buttons on my slide and then used triggers to hide them when slide starts. this over-rides the review mode showing the buttons on the slide.

Hi Yang, I'd recommend installing the latest update to Articulate Storyline (Current version is update 5) which has numerous performance improvements and has fixed several bugs related to quizzes in HTML5. Hopefully the updated version will resolve your issue with the buttons.

Prev and Next button appear after revisit the quiz.

Hi Yang,

I'd also agree that you'd want to update to the newest version update 5 as Jacob mentioned there have been a number of fixes which are detailed here in the release notes.

Also, the previous/next buttons will reappear on a quiz review (using the review button from the results slide) as the user would need a way to continue navigating throughout the course and Storyline may not know that you set up your own custom buttons. If you'd like to have an option to disable the Prev and Next buttons during quiz review so you can use your own custom navigation buttons, please let us know. We value your feedback.

Thanks Jacob and Ashley. I will try to upgrade the software.

In my case, the buttons reappear when I reset the quiz, not review. Would this be part of the design as well?

Thanks for your suggestion and I 'will submit a feature request.

Oops, sorry, I mean "resit the quiz".

Hi Yang,

Are you revisiting the quiz after you've already answered the question? If so, then it sounds like the same behavior as Storyline currently doesn't know that you inserted your own custom buttons but is recognizing that the user needs some way to navigate away from that slide.

Hi Damon! This is directly related to quiz review mode it appears. Are you having difficulty with something that we could assist with?

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes btw :)

Another person on my team (Dane Boyington) has commented elsewhere on issues we have using custom navigation. It's just very frustrating how much relies on automated features that can't be accessed or replicated through custom navigation. To have the default navigation appear when the developer has expressly disabled that feature could compromise an entire course. The default navigation won't have any custom triggers applied to them that the developer may require. In our work, we use an "IsQuestionActive" variable to determine whether the user has interacted with a quiz in a particular way. We disable default navigation to ensure that this variable has integrity. If Storyline's default navigation can appear in certain situations, then the user could bypass the custom navigation we've setup with its attached triggers. This would make our "IsQuestionActive" untrustworthy, and could cause the user to get trapped on a page (which is ironically the situation you claim this behavior seeks to avoid).

Hi Damon! I do not see any recent threads by a user with that name, so I was unable to dig a bit deeper into what may be going on with your team, but if you were to disable the Quiz Review, that would eliminate the issue discussed on this thread. You may also want to take a glance at this tutorial and see if states may better fit your needs.

Hi,

This issue still persists with update 7. My setup is similar to Damons and Yangs: I want learners to be able to revisit quiz and survey slides without resubmitting them. The default buttons still reappear in html5. Any progress on this?

Thanks, Ayoub

  I've been having this issue for some time (SL7 too like yourself) and decided to take a brute force approach which seems to be working well so far.
  
  Rather than having to modify the generated HTML output each time (yuck! Who wants to do that?) I add code in the Master slide:
  
  In the Master slide, I add a trigger to Execute Javascript and add the following code:
  
  // since the Quiz in review mode shows the default SL Prev/Next buttons (SL2 Update 7) we force them to hide
  var currentStyle = document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].innerHTML;
  //only modify the style tag the FIRST time
  if(currentStyle.indexOf("controls") === -1){
  document.getElementsByTagName('style')[0].innerHTML = currentStyle + "#controls{ display:none !important;}";
  }
  
  All it does is modify the <style> tag in the HTML5 output, and adds styling for the #controls <div> that houses the pesky Storyline default navigation and sets it to hide. I also add a check to only add this style once rather than potentially many times on a new page visit which could lead to trouble.
  
  Hope it helps.
  
  Cheers

    Dear Paul Douglas,
    
    Thank you for providing great solution to hide controls in review mode. If possible can you please let us know how show the controls once we exit from review mode.
    
    Look forward for your great solution.
