Disable slide navigation buttons but keeping the menu
Hi Jurgen,
The menu and navigation are controlled by different settings. You can hide Prev and Next button by selecting all the slides and unchecked them from slide properties in STORY VIEW.
In fact, you should be able to only switch off the menu and seperately switch off the controls. Now you can only switch on or off the menu AND controls. You cant choose. When you switch off the controls then the menu is also switched off. It would be better to be able to switch on or off the menu and the controls seperately.
I see. You can add triggers in the Master slide to set the initial state of Prev and Next buttons to be hidden when timeline starts. This ensures that these buttons won't appear when developers add new slides.
Regarding the player settings 'On/Off,' it's designed to toggle all player elements (including tabs and controls) together, so it may not fulfill your specific requirement. I agree with your suggestion to allow separate toggles for player tabs and controls, as it could be beneficial for certain projects. However, I think the Articulate team may prioritize other feature developments, given that there are alternative methods to address this issue.
Additionally, I recommend manually unchecking the Prev and Next buttons before publishing the final production. This will allow the content area to expand more effectively, as otherwise, there may be residual space reserved for the hidden Prev and Next buttons.I already added triggers in the master slide to set the initial state of Prev and Next button to hidden, but the white space at the bottom of the player reserved for the Prev and Next buttons stays the same. We want the white space at the bottom to be minimal so the content area expands maximum. We want this because the learning platform offers not much space to display the e-learnings.
Manually unchecking Prev and Next buttons before final production will be the way to go. Manually unchecking makes the white space at the bottom much less high so the content area expands more effectively.
