Enabling Next Button After the Slide has been visited
Hi everyone,
I am trying to figure out how to allow the next button to remain enabled after a slide has already been viewed. I have a slide with 4 layers, I have disabled the Next button until the learner views all layers- this works fine, the learner moves onto the next slide but then realizes they want to go back to the first slide with the 4 layers. When they go back, the Next button is disabled and even if they click on all the buttons to view all the layers again, the next button remains disabled. I have tried to edit the settings in the slide with the layers to say when the learner revisits the slide it would resume its saved state and that doesn't fix the issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Do I need to create variables for this type of issue? I am using Storyline 360.
Thanks,
Desi

That seems really convoluted. There must be an easier way.
Using conditions that check variable values is probably the best way to control the NEXT button. And it is easy when you get the hang of it. Otherwise, you could have the conditions check the state of the appropriate objects (e.g., disable NEXT if any of the buttons is not Visited).
Here's a post with a demo file about controlling NEXT. Perhaps this will help:
