Change the Previous & Next buttons in Storyline 360?
Sorry if this is a redundant question. I've seen plenty of posts on how to hide the Previous and Next buttons but I can't seem to find an answer on whether you can change them. And by change I don't mean just the color or the text. I mean replace them with other button images. Is this possible in Storyline 360, and if so, how? Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Not a redundant question so I'm glad you asked!
There isn't a way to change how the buttons look other than the options you mentioned such as color/text. If you were to remove them completely you could look at creating your own buttons on the slide itself and using those for navigation.
Hi Ashley,
How do I remove the Next and Previous buttons on the player? Thanks!
Hi Ron
in the slide properties of each slide you can select / deselect the buttons. Globally if you open the file in Storyview, Ctrl A to select all slides then in the bottom right slide properties panel you can deselect for multiple slides.
hi. i have unchecked my prev and next buttons, and they don't appear on my slide the first time it's visited, but when the user returns to that slide they are there. HELP! Thank you. Alternatively, how can i make them the same color as the background so they disappear?
Hi Barbara
are these on quiz slides - once you have visited a quiz slide and go back and revisit - SL thinks you are doing a review so shows the Prev/Next buttons so the user can navigate.
If so, you can setup triggers on the master slide layout that your quiz slides are using to
- change state of next button to hidden when timeline starts
- Change state of prev button to hidden when timeline starts
Further to this, is it possible to change the button text on just one slide (e.g. the last one) to say 'End of Course' rather than 'Next' ?
Unfortunately not Stu but if you haven't used the Submit button you could use that one
Ah, good idea. Thanks.
Hey Stu,
If you're looking for a way to have users exit the course, I'd also take a look at some of the ideas shared here.
Thanks Ashley.
The 'course' is actually a set of instructions on how to use the Learning Plan (which has 7 courses, 7 quizzes and a survey, with equivalences and prerequisites, so it's not quite straight forward). The 'Exit' (Submit) button is quite an elegant solution.
Glad that Wendy's idea will work for you than!
Hi all! My team and I have recently discovered the wonders of Question Bank. Unfortunately, when they were building our banks, the Previous and Next buttons were not on all slides. After importing questions, I attempt to highlight all slides for the specific Question Bank to add the Previous and Next buttons all at once but it does not seem to work. Any suggestion on how I can ensure all questions have the Previous and Next buttons for Question Bank questions?
Hello Giovanni!
By default, question slides in a question bank have a Submit button but not the Next and Previous ones.
There currently isn't a way to update the slide properties on multiple slides in a question bank at once, but I've got a few ideas for you:
- Copy and paste the question slides from the question bank into a scene
- Or, manually update each slide
I created this short video demo of both options. Let me know if that helps!
Hi
I want to change the '>' to 'Next' when navigating through slides. Any ideas please? I've looked on the Player options and the slide options but can't seem to find anything. I know it's going to be something really simple, but - brain fog has taken over!
Thanks
