Does anyone know of a way to change the "next" button to an "end" button at the end of a story?

You can actually change this text by using the following JavaScript. All you would need to do is assign a trigger, execute JavaScript when the timeline ends. Replace "REPLACE-ME" with your own text. I can validate that it works in SL3.

NEXT BUTTON
var button_next = $('.slide-control-button-next .text').text()
$('.slide-control-button-next .text').text("REPLACE-ME")
$('.slide-control-button-next').click(function(){
$('.slide-control-button-next .text').text(button_next)
})

PREVIOUS BUTTON
var button_prev = $('.slide-control-button-previous .text').text()
$('.slide-control-button-previous .text').text("REPLACE-ME")
$('.slide-control-button-previous').click(function(){
$('.slide-control-button-previous .text').text(button_prev)
})

Hi Sara, you can change the text labels on the buttons by going to Player clicking on Text labels and then changing the custom text for the button. The only problem with this is that it changes every instance of the name so you can't have it say next on one slide and then end on another slide - but there is a trick you can do provided you are not using the submit button in your course.

If you are not using the submit button, you can change its name to say end and then change the trigger to exit course when the user clicks the button. If you do this make sure you hide the next button on the slide.

Hi Sara! Looks like you are getting some great assistance here, just let us know if you need anything further.

Hi Sara!

Are you using the built-in player with prev/next buttons? If so, I'd simply remove the next button on the last slide. Then, create your own button that says 'Exit' and assign the trigger 'Exit Course' to the button.

I hope this helps!

Keepin' the joy,
Patti

Looks like Nancy has you covered here Sara. We have a tutorial here as well if you'd like to take a look.

This is great information! Does anyone know how to change the name of the "Submit" button? Thanks again for all your help, I'm new to Storyline!

Thank you everyone! This was extremely helpful!

Glad to hear it Sara. Thanks for the update.

This was very helpful! I've had the same questions for a couple of months now. 

Hi, Rose -- thanks for chiming in, and we're delighted to hear this thread provided the assistance you needed, as well! :)
