Scenario slides: how to lock or hide navigation buttons?

Mar 14, 2022

Hi, I am trying to create a course in Storyline 360 that includes multiple scenario slides. I am using the 'Perspective>Scenario' template from Content Library 360 for these slides. Briefly, the slides consist of two choices and the user is asked to select a choice. When they do, a layer with some feedback for that choice is displayed. This all works fine using the built-in template, but when previewing the course I observed that the user can proceed to the next slide without making a selection. Is there some way to lock or hide the navigation buttons until the user has made a choice and reviewed the corresponding feedback? Thanks!

Hi, Zane,

You can disable the Next button when the timeline starts, and then enable it with triggers on the Consequences bases. 

FYI: In that sort of situation, I typically use a T/F variable in the condition that disables Next. That is, the trigger will only disable Next if the variable = False. Then adjust the variable to True when the interaction is done. That prevents the Next button from being disabled again if the user returns to the slide. 

You can see how this is done in the attached file.
