Can anyone please remind me how to prevent a user skipping a question on a quiz by pressing the built in navigation next button? Currently I can press the next button on my quiz question pages and skip past them all - I want the learner to have to answer the question before the page moves on.
you can uncheck the next button in the slide properties and the user would then click submit to proceed. If they try and proceed should get the 'invalid answer' popup
Untick the Next / Prev checkboxes in the Slide Properties, so that the navigation buttons don't appear at all, OR
Add a trigger to your slide, changing the state of the Next/Prev buttons to Disabled. This way they are still visible, but are greyed out and not clickable
One of the things I've done before is setting the submit button to disabled and the next button hidden for the start of each question. Then setting up a trigger with a state event that activates the submit button only when any of the choices are selected.
Instead of making the continue button show with feedback, I make my feedback layers hide the submit button and show the next button.
Takes a little bit of setup but once you've got it set, copying and pasting the question makes replicating your package pretty fast. Since I like my question slide layouts with the stem on the left and choices on the right, I can't really use the slide masters and new slide wizard to create the question layouts I want. So copy and paste questions is what I end up with:)
I have deactivated the next button as recommended however users can still move through the quiz questions by clicking on menu navigation on the left. is there a way to lock this too?

You could either:
Hope this helps!

Hi Eoghan
I just responded with a link to a workaround for you on your other thread
Hi Eoghan,
I didn't see another thread as Wendy mentioned, but you could lock down the menu navigation as described here or remove slides from the menu entirely.
Oops sorry - wrong Eoghan...what are the odds, I answered two posts on the same night for 'Eoghan' ;-)
I saw the other post last night too Wendy, similar question as well! I would have been easily confused as well. :-)
