- JuliaBakerCommunity MemberThanks Wendy. Since it worked with the flash fallback, I'm guessing it only works properly with flash enabled. Hopefully Articulate will give us a solution that will work without it before flash gets phased out. My client is already on a no-flash basis, so I'll continue my search for another workaround. Thanks for your insight! 
- SarahStillingsCommunity MemberHello! I've tried disabling the Prev/Next buttons at both the slide and player level but the buttons remain. Any thoughts on why these buttons persist for me? - JuliaBakerCommunity MemberHi Sarah! What type of slides are they appearing on? Just quiz slides? Or are you also seeing them elsewhere? If it's just on quiz slides, you'll need to enable the buttons on those slides then create triggers to hide them. It's one of those workarounds that we use on a regular basis. If you're seeing them everywhere... it makes me curious what the problem may be. Can you give us more information about what you've done to disable them? - SarahStillingsCommunity MemberI’m working off of a colleague’s template and I think that’s the problem. I can remove the Prev/Next buttons in a new project with no issues. In the colleague’s version, I’m seeing them on all slide types including blank slides. 
 
 
- Good detective work Sarah. - If you'd like us to take a look, feel free to share the .story file. 
- StephanieLongCommunity MemberWhat a pain! There are so many articles about having trouble with the Quiz Review function, I hope eventually all of the trouble shooting and workarounds result in some sort of update to this feature. This was a major roadblock I am now working through and with a pressing deadline. I nearly gave up on it, but I am going to do the workaround. - Hey there, Stephanie. We're happy to help if you're having problems with the quiz review feature. Were you using custom navigation buttons and didn't want the Next and Previous buttons to appear? - If you'd like to share your issue and file more privately with my team, feel free to do so here! 
 
- ElianPlacciCommunity MemberHi there! 
 I'm having big issues, another kind, but one solution might be disable the preview button when quizz review.If I undertood correctly, the only way of doing this is leaving out the Review layer? - ElianPlacciCommunity MemberWell.. I tried what Wendy suggest, but isn't working. 
 Any other ideas?
 PS: Why Articulate hasn't made this upgrade yet? It's been more than 2 years!!- WendyFarmerSuper HeroHi Eli what isn't working - if you can share your .story file I'll take a look for you. Which version of SL are you using? 
 
 
- Hi Eli, - When learners review a quiz (or revisit question slides they've already submitted), they'll see Articulate Storyline's built-in Prev and Next buttons in the lower right corner of the player—even if you've disabled them throughout your course. These navigation buttons are necessary for learners to review quiz slides. - If you'd like to have an option to disable the Prev and Next buttons during quiz review so you can use your own custom navigation buttons, please let us know. - If you'd like to share the .story file you're currently working on, I'm sure someone in the community could help you out. 
- WendyFarmerSuper HeroHere is a Peek video and DEMO file (attached) for SL360 using custom submit button on the quiz slides, hiding Prev/Next buttons on the slide master during quiz review, changing the Submit button to a Next button during review so the user can move through the slides. 
- BradChamnessCommunity MemberI've just had my own experience with the Review navigation complication in storyline, and having spent a lot of time sorting through posts here I wanted to share some of my own discoveries for others who might end up here after exhausting searching, as I did. For reference, I'm using Storyline ver 3.5. My goal was to entirely avoid using the player and create custom navigation usable from start to finish of the project, including quiz and review. The quiz is set up with only Prev/Next navigation and a single submit on a Review page at the end. The project also allows the user to freely navigate through questions, and Flag questions for revisiting. Obviously, introducing a completely different set of navigation buttons to the user at the very end of the project was not desirable. After following the suggestion to enable the buttons from slide properties and disable them via trigger at timeline start, my result was each slide still loading with the player space reserved and the player Previous/Next buttons visible for a split second before changing state to Hidden. I was about to give up when I discovered that enabling Prev/Next and applying the Hide triggers to the slide Master, not the slide itself, eliminated this loading issue. Previously, my Master slide was set to disable these buttons as I never use them. After taking this approach, I could then disable the buttons on the Quiz slides from the properties and not have to worry about applying the additional 2 triggers to hide them on each slide. - TaliaWilliams-3Community MemberI have NEVER encountered a snag like this before in Articulate Storyline 360, and boy was this the MOST HELPFUL piece of information I've gotten in this community. This works with built in Question Banks, too. Thank you so much, Bradley! 
 
- SanduniFernandoCommunity MemberThank a lot for sharing this Wendy. I removed the navigation controls and used a variable but it didn't work as yours. When digging further into your demo, just realized that the triggers in master slide do the job. You saved my time! - WendyFarmerSuper HeroGlad the example helped you Sanduni and good luck with your project! 
 
- MattWalshCommunity MemberHi there, I have the review slides working with custom buttons, but unfortunately it seems to disregard the "Review only incorrect questions" option in the "Review Results" trigger, and shows both correct and incorrect answers even though I have that selected. Does anyone know how to get that working properly? Our client only wants to show incorrect answers. Thanks. - MarkBanit-62dcfCommunity MemberHey Matt -- having the same issue you describe where I created my own buttons and have it set to only review incorrect answers but it disregards that and goes through all of them. Were you able to get that resolved? Thanks! - WendyFarmerSuper HeroHi Mark happy to take a look if you can share your story file. My understanding is 'review only incorrect' is only when using the built in SL buttons.
