I want to guide learners linearly through five Modules beginning with the Intro slide. I've created a MC question slide at the end of each Module, and I'd like to use "completion" to ...
1. Hide the navigation Module flag (trail sign) on the Menu slide,
2. Populate a breadcrumb (trail sign), and
2. Unlock the next Module.
Is there a way to control navigation and animation concurrently? I know how to animate, but I'm looking for advance navigation design suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!
When it comes to control, variables and trigger conditions are your best friends.
For example, you could have a T/F variable (initially set to False) to track completion of each module. When the user passes the quiz at the end of a given module, set the associated variable to True. On the Menu, have it change the State of the next-module button to normal with the condition that the variable associated with the previous module is True.
If none of that makes sense, check out Articulate's tutorials about variables and conditions. They're so handy, it's definitely worth your time to learn how to use them.
I agree with Judy, you are going to need to use a combination of variables and triggers to control what is viewed and what to allow the users to move to the next section.
Thanks so much! I've created triggers and states that provide all of the visual cues that learners are progressing, however I'm struggling with implementing the "locking" and "unlocking" (i.e. securing and then providing access) to Modules sequentially. I'll take a look at variable "how to..." information

Hi L'Oreal! I just wanted to chime in and share this article Allison wrote on how to make a custom locked menu. You can also download the example to see how she set it up. I hope that helps!
