How can I restrict the Next button in the Storyline player until either the entire audio has completed on the student has clicked on all the options; for example using a Sticky Notes format? Thanks as always.
Take a look at this example. This uses a shape off of the stage and a condition on the next button. When a shape has not yet been shown on the timeline, it's equivalent to hidden. So hinging the condition of the next button on the visibility of this shape works to restrict navigation.
In the second slide, I hid the shape by default and showed the shape when all four Click Me objects were visited. Same mechanic, different implementation.
It looks like you're getting some great help here, and there are some additional examples/explanations in this tutorial on how to disable the next button (built in or your custom button) until a user has interacted with all slide elements.
Your idea makes sense but the problem I have is that I cannot figure out how to deactivate the next button in the player. I also tried Steve's solution and that work great on the slides that require some action from the student such as the Sticky Notes. That problem is now solved. But I would love a global solution to the player if one exists. Thanks again for the help.
Just a note to say that your input (and others) has been invaluable. The course is starting to come together with all the desired constraints that I was hoping to use. At the end of the day, this program requires that you actually use it and to become familair with all the capapbilites. I look forward to devellping many more course with this concept. Thank you so much.

Hi Rocky,
Desactivate the classic Next button and create your own "Next" Button.
First state of this button: hidden.
Then create a trigger: Change state of "button" to Normal when time line of audio ends.
Hope that helps!

Hi Rocky,
The next and previous buttons are able to be removed on a slide by slide basis from the individual slide properties.
