I have several slides throughout my project where the Next button is disabled until all interactions on a slide are complete. This works fine if the student keeps progressing through the project in a linear fashion.
However, if the Previous button is clicked to view the Previous slide, the Next button on the originating slide is disabled. I don't know how to create a trigger to cater for this scenario.
Are you able to assist?
I have attached a file that hopefully explains the difficulty.
I just tested the file I sent you and I have no trouble going to the previous slide using the Prev button. Can you look at the attached screen recording and tell me what you are doing that is different then I can try and help you troubleshoot
The Previous button now works but the slide with Why Who What ... displays and activates the Next button before the remaining two buttons are clicked. I'm at a real loss to understand why as all buttons are listed in the trigger.
that's because the timeline was set to 7 secs and the trigger was set to 'change next to normal when timeline ends'. If you don't click all the buttons by 7 secs it was triggering.
I have updated the trigger to change to normal when the state of all 'buttons' are visited.
I now have a new problem which I might have to contact Support about.
The Drag and Drop options is missing from the Ribbon so that I am unable to modify all the options I want for my drag and drop slides.
I opened a new blank project at the Question > Drag and drop was present. I then imported my existing project into the new project but then the Question > Drag and drop option was no longer there.
I do not have administrative right to the PC I am using so I don't want to uninstall and then re-install Articulate Storyline 2.
Do you have any idea how the Drag and Drop options can be reinstated on the Ribbon and how to keep it visible?
was just checking as you can access the D & D options from form view and slide view. In that case I think you will need to run a repair of SL2 (you'll need admin rights so perhaps your IT guys can do for you) or you can contact support as you wanted to do.

Hi Anne
I added a number variable instead of T/F. If you have a T/F variable you would need a toggle to switch it on and off.
See if this example works for you...I tweaked a few of your triggers.
Hi Wendy
The changes you made are great!
The slides now have another glitch.
The Previous button does not work after a slide has been revisited.
I still have my L-Plates on so I don't understand how to go to the next step of enabling the Previous button.
Best regards
Anne

Hi Wendy
I tried to upload this file last night but was not successful. Please take a look and see what you think.
Hi Anne
take a look at your story file now I have updated. There was no trigger on the Prev button so I added one in- Let me know how you go

Thank you very much Wendy. I might just get the hang of this one day.
Thanks again.
No problem at all Anne, we were all newbies at one time or another...don't hesitate to post questions if you need help.
Have a good week.

Hi Anne
if you access the Form view of your D & D slide can you see the options in that ribbon?
Hi Wendy
That's the problem, it is not there.

SL2 repair
Thanks for all your help Wendy.
