Removing or Hiding the Previous/Next Buttons?

Hi, Ethan! 

You can turn these off in the slide itself on a per-slide basis but I prefer to go into Story View, select a heap of slides and deselect the Prev / Next / Submit properties all at once:

If you have the review quiz switched on the next and previous will appear, really frustrating because this destroys any design where you removed the buttons

Hi, Anna - 

Within Story View, you can select multiple slides using SHIFT-CLICK within a scene.

Hi Steve, 

I've removed the Next and Prev buttons from the player and added my own custom navigation buttons. Now on question slides when I go back using my custom buttons the Prev/Next buttons appear on the player. Is there a way to hide those as well?

Thanks

Hi E,

You're using a custom "Submit" button and they're still showing up? Do you have the default buttons enabled on any other slides in the course? If so, that may be what's happening.

Are you able to share the .STORY file here? I'd be happy to check it out and see what's happening.

Thanks!

Christine

If I remember correctly, if you add custom prev / next buttons to your question slides and control the visibility with a variable, the built-in buttons do not appear since there's already a slide trigger on the slide.

1) Add custom back / next buttons (default to hidden) to your slides along with your submit (might be best to do this in the master slide for the questions)

2) Add a variable (inTest = true)

3) For each slide (or master) add a trigger to show the custom prev / next buttons if inTest=false.

4) Also add a trigger to hide the submit button if inTest=false;

5) On your results slide, set the inTest variable to false

This'll make your submit go away and the prev / next appear during the review. It should also suppress the appearance of built-in navigation, provided you have them unchecked in slide properties as well as the player.

Thanks Steve, if that works I owe you a pint of your favourite poison

Hi Annie!

When learners review a quiz (or revisit question slides they've already submitted), they'll see Articulate Storyline's built-in Prev and Next buttons in the lower right corner of the player—even if you've disabled them throughout your course. These navigation buttons are necessary for learners to review quiz slides.

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.

I was having this same problem. The easiest solution that I found was to simply add a trigger in my master template to hide the default prev and next buttons every time a slide is loaded. Not the most elegant solution, but seems to work.
