Creating Storyline with 1 topic and 5 lessons to be finished in order

Hi, Randy,

If you need to ensure the students access the content in order, set the navigation to Restricted. That's done via Menu settings in the Player. This post will help with that (and with other ways to control the Next button):

This post will help if you want a custom menu:

Note: on its own, Storyline can't prevent someone from accessing content until a specified date. In other words, a student could complete the day-1 topic and then move immediately on to the day-2 topic.
