I am creating a slide where the user needs to view each tab before they are able to click the "next" button. Unfortunately I seem to be missing something for the feature not to work and could use a second pair of eyes. Thank you for your help.
Hi Zachary . . . to me, it looked like you had extra layers and triggers that were preventing the Next button state change. I've attached an updated file that simplifies things, and I think, still accomplishes how you want the slide to function. Highlights include moving the layers you had established into the 'Visited' State, simplifying the number of States and how they change for each 'Section' rectangle, and changing the Variable to one that tracks a value instead of True/False. There is a Trigger that adds value to the Variable each time one of the 'Section' rectangles is visited, and then another Trigger that enables the Next button once the Variable reaches a certain value. I haven't figured out why Articulate is adding a value of 2 to the Variable each time one of the 'Section' rectangles is selected when I have the Trigger set to add 1 (maybe someone else that reads this can figure out why), but the slide still works none the less. Hopefully you can follow what I've done.

Oh . . . and I added a text box to the slide so you can see how value is added to the Variable each time a user clicks a 'Section' rectangle.
Thanks for your help! I had a feeling I was making it way too complicated.
