Slide with no Next nor Prev has both Next and Prev when revisiting

Hi David,

I believe the main issue you're referring to (the Next and Previous buttons showing) happens when you navigate through the menu itself, correct? It sounds a lot like this issue. Are you running the most recent version of Storyline? 

If it's specific to question slides, I believe this is by design for the "saved state" of question slides. If they're reset, you shouldn't see the buttons when visiting the slides again. However, I do realize you're wanting to use the saved state of the slide. If that's the case, the buttons will be enabled when you revisit the slide. 

Here's a discussion on the topic that may shed a little more light on this functionality.

Thanks!

Christine,

Thanks for the links to the other discussions.  I've spent hours on this. I've read the articles, reduced my course and reduced my course and tried and tried the suggested settings... I give up.  I started over with a simple course and still can't get it to work the way I want. I would greatly appreciate someone telling me how to set up the attached file so I do not see the built-in Next/Prev buttons when I revisit the screen via the menu.

This video shows me explaining what I want to have happen with the attached Storyline file: http://screencast.com/t/ittbL7L3L

Thanks,

David

HI David,

First, check out this support link, which confirms that these buttons can NOT be hidden on Quiz Review - different than what you're doing, but bear with me!

Then check out this support link, which describes what you ARE trying to do (navigating with the menu) and says this was fixed in SL Update 3.

I wonder if it's broken again? I have SL Update 5, and I"m experiencing the same thing as you are, either during review or navigating with the menu...and I've turned off all the built-in Prev Next buttons

Perhaps someone from the staff will jump in and clear up what we're doing wrong.

Thanks Rebecca. I'm looking forward to hearing from Articulate that has implied this is possible. I have version 4, thanks for confirming it also fails (to work as hoped) in 5.  Actually, my intent is to have Quiz Review turned off, sorry for the distraction there.

Hi David,

No sorries...it wasn't a distraction at all. You were very clear. But I'm wondering, if this is in fact broken, if "code-wise" (and I'm clearly not a programmer ) there's some connection. So I thought I'd post it all together here.

Also looking for a response from staff. I'm sure they'll be here soon! Off to work now;)

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing the screenr and the Storyline course. The documentation Becky provided regarding update 3 dealt with individual slides, not question slides. They are treated differently on a revisit as Storyline is assuming that since you've answered it, the submit button no longer exists and therefore you need a way to leave the slide. With that being said, we know a lot of our users are setting up their own custom navigation, so if you'd like to ensure that these buttons are removed completely can you share your thoughts with our product development team in the form of a feature request? 

In the meantime, you may also want to look at the methods described here and here by Steve Flowers where he generated some workarounds. 

Please let us know if there is anything else! 

Hi Ashley,

ah...I didn't realize that Quiz Slides were excluded from the info on the support page. It doesn't say so...tx!

I shared this thread with our team in hopes that we could get the documentation updated, but in the meantime, hopefully this thread will help any others looking for a similar set up. 

Tx, Ashley, Appreciated!
