Unable to Unlock Menu Navigation

Are there any hidden slides and how do you want them to jump around the course; menu or nav buttons. or both?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your quick reply.

There aren't any hidden slides.  I'd like them to be able to jump around the course using the menu and the nav buttons.

Thank you!

Can you share your story file or have a link to the output?

Are there any interactions or slides setup as quiz format that might be preventing navigation?

Hi Julie,

I'd agree with Bill it may be easier if we were able to take a look at the Storyline file, but you could also try resetting the menu to ensure there weren't any hidden slides or something similar causing the navigation issues:

 Also, please confirm you're working with local project files in Storyline. As working on a network drive or USB could cause unusual behavior. 

Hi Julie,

Could you possibly be navigating via scenes.  If the items in your menu are all scene titles with no slide titles you may not be able to set 'free navigation'. (or at least you couldn't in update 4)

Hope this helps

Harri,

That did the trick!  Thank you so much and thank you to Bill and Ashley as well!

You guys are the best

Thanks for the update Julie! 

Hi all,

Regarding this issue, I'd be very pleased if you could confirm that the navigation can't be free if the slides are removed from it so only the scenes remain. Our client doesn't want to have any scrolls, and this includes the menu.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best,

Belen

Hi Belen,

If you remove the slide titles and just leave the scene titles, users won't be able to click on those to navigate to the particular scene - so I guess in that sense it would be a restricted navigation set up? If you'd like them to be able to navigate to those sections while clicking, I would instead include the first slide from each scene and if needed rename it in the menu to match the scene title. You could than determine if the user will be able to navigate freely within the menu, or using the restricted/locked set up. You may want to review the information here on working with the Storyline menu. 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

The workaround you mention is a good solution, I'll try that approach next time. For this time I was lucky enough that the customer finally accepted this scroll bar in the menu.

Sounds good Belen and thanks for the update.
