I'm attempting to restrict navigation in the course I'm working on so users cannot go to the next slide without finishing the one they are on. I've selected "Restricted" on the menu option - which I've realized means that the user cannot select a slide title in the menu ahead of what they have already viewed. But the user can still hit next on the slide and move forward without waiting for the audio/animation to complete.
How can I prevent the user from being able to click the Next button before the audio/animation is complete?
You could set a variable set to false when the slide begins and then set it to true when the timeline ends. Set a condition on the "jump to next slide" only if your variable is true. I am attaching a sample document to help (sorry its So so basic!)
Check out Jeanette's screener on showing a warning if the user clicks the next button before conditions are met.
Thanks so much! That worked. Now the time-consuming part is copying all of those triggers to every slide in my course. But at least I know it can work.
Glad to hear that it worked! I guess ultimately it would work better if you knew those were going to need to be set before you started your course so you could just duplicate slides over and over again.

Hope that helps!

Good luck on the process!!
