Does anyone knows how to hide a "next" button until the whole slide is seen? I know how to do it with variables, although I find it quite tricky because I have to generate a different variable for each slide... Perhaps there is a simple way that I am not finding.
The idea is that the user can go back and forth in the contents already visited to watch them again (with the possibility to go forth without waiting the already seen slide finishes).
It would be ideal if an option to hide/show elements "if slide was already visited", independently in each slide.
The idea is that the user can go back and forth in the contents already visited to watch them again (with the possibility to go forth without waiting the already seen slide finishes).
Imagine a power point with only two big buttons inside the screen "previous" and "next". When you are watching the slide, you only see "previous". When you finish the slide, "next" button appears. Then, you can go to the next slide.
If you want to refresh contents you have seen in previous slides, you may go and watch them again (Slide behaviour: "Reset to initial state"). But in that case, both buttons will appear in the slide, because you have already watch it before.
Anybody else can help me making this simplier, without having to set 2 or 3 lines of variables on each slide?
I am sweating again with this issue. Two weeks ago I've tried making what Piotr did and worked, and now i'm doing the same and it doesn't. I am comparing both files, and they look exactly the same :/
I did an extensive programming on each slide, adding 1 point to a variable "page" to each slide, I spent many hours doing this.... it worked in preview, AND IT'S NOT WORKING WHEN PUBLISHED OHMG!! why??

Check out this KB article on restricting navigation with the menu and buttons
Hi Wendy! Thank you for your answer.
Does this work for customized buttons too? Or it only works with Articulate default "next" button?
If it works for customized buttons, do you know where I can find the Additional Options? I have the spanish version and some names are different.

HI Luciana
sorry I didn't realise you were using Custom navigation - no these instructions are for the built in navigation.
What slide revisit option do you have set? This KB may help you
Perhaps if you share a couple of your slides someone may be able to offer a solution.

Hi Luciana
perhaps if you share a few slides of your story file we can take a look and see what will work for you.
Hi!
I share some slides with you : https://didactix.com.ar/muestras/articulate/story_html5.html
Hope there is a simple way to achieve this, as I always use custome navigation buttons.
Thank you,
Luciana
Hi,
Maybe something like that:

Exactly Piotr!
How did you di it? It takes a lot of coding? I've got Storyline 3.

Hi,
I used 360, but you can use S3 as well. Take a look on the source file. Is simple.

THANK YOU Piotr!!!
You've help me save many hours of work :D
I tried using True and False variables before, but did not realize to set it this way.
Have a nice day,
Luciana
Hi,
have a nice day.

Am I forgetting something?
Thank you!!

Hi Luciana,
Please change initial state for the next button to Hiden cos is Normal right now:
I hope this will help you.

Hi Piotr,
Thank you so much again!!! You should be promoted to Hero!
I was playing "spotting the differences" in both files ':) I didn't know that initial state feature existed at all.
Regards and have a nice day,
Luciana
No worries. That was my pleasure.
Have a nice day and good luck with your project.

Hi,
I'm going crazy with this next custom buttons...
When I add more than one slide, "next" viariable turns "true" for all... so all next buttons appear unhidden. I thought this would be easier :O
Someone knows how to do this?
Luciana
I did an extensive programming on each slide, adding 1 point to a variable "page" to each slide, I spent many hours doing this.... it worked in preview, AND IT'S NOT WORKING WHEN PUBLISHED OHMG!! why??
I think I understood why this is not working:
My client wants:
Not to be able to go to next slide before watching all content. "Next" button is available only if the slide has already been watched.
After finishing slide, it has to run to new slide automatically, like a video (this point is different from Priotr's example)
I think this two things are not compatible...
Try this.
Set the slide to initial state on revisit, and you have to use a unique variable for each slide.
