Previous/next button

Hi Don,

Let's see if I am following you. You have a series of scenes or slides and on the very last slide you only have the previous button and because of that it is where the next button is on the previous slides.

In any case, there is no way to change the position of the previous button. You would have to have the next button there as well in order to keep the position uniform throughout the whole project. That would be the only way for the previous button to stay in the same place.

You could create your own previous and next buttons using triggers. I'll throw together a video showing that and post it here soon.

Always Happy to Help,

Adrian

Hi Don,

Here is the video I promised on how to add your own custom next/previous buttons.

This will allow you to control the positioning of the buttons rather than relying on the inflexibility of the default buttons themselves.

Hope this helps,

Adrian

Thanks Adrian, your answer was right on!  I now know how to correct for the last image of a series.

Best wishes,

Don

Hi Don,

You're very welcome. I am glad that helped you.

Always Happy to Help,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,  Is there any way to do this on a slide layer?  I can't find how to disable the next and previous buttons on slide layers like you can on the regular slides.

Hi Teresa,

Are the built-in next and previous buttons showing up in your layers?

Adrian

the showing but not working. how can i make them work

Hi Salau!

Did you check out the Screenr that Adrian shared above? 

Here's a head scratcher. I have the Next and Previous buttons showing up when repeating an assessment even though they are not checked in the slide properties.

Hi Jon,

unfortunately imho you can not change this when repeating an assessment.

do you use this assessment in a LMS or for any kind of certification?

If not you can change your slide properties. Set them in the status "Reset to initial state". Then the user must take the quiz again but the buttons will appear.

Maybe it is a workaround for you.

Storyline may not know that you set up your own buttons and tries to give you an opportunity to navigate through the course.

Hi Jon!

Are you utilizing the built in retry from the results slide or are you setting this up manually somehow?

If you have a .story file that you would like us to take a look at, you are welcome to share.

Hi Folks, I'm getting a "Connection is Untrusted" msg with Adrian's link above. I see that the video is on Screenr.com.  Didn't Articulate shut this site down this week?

Hi Richard!

You are getting an error message when viewing the embedded video from Adrian above?

You should still be able to view Screenr videos and download if needed. I can see the video above.

I have narrowed it down to corrupted file. Uninstalled/Reinstalled Storyline and it cleared up.

I appreciate you popping back in with an update Jon and for sharing your resolution as well.
