If you want ensure a user stays on every slide until its timeline completes, just set the Player's Menu navigation to Restricted. Then the program will automatically disable Next the first time the user visits the slide. 

If you want to control Next on a given slide, use triggers: 

  • A trigger to disable Next when the timeline starts (with a condition to ensure this only happens the first time)
  • A trigger to enable Next at the appropriate time

For example, in your case, the enabling trigger could be set to run when the animation completes (or when the timeline ends, if the animation lasts until then). 

FYI: This post has more info about those ways to control the Next button: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-controlling-the-next-button-101
