Global variables in Rise 360

It's possible to branch navigation like that in Storyline. But you can't create variables in Rise. (At least, there's not a built in way to do that.) 

• It is possible to branch in a Rise course. That comes with a lot of caveats, though:
• All navigation must be done with Button and Button Stack blocks. In other words, you have to turn off the built-in menu and the Prev/Next Lesson buttons.
• Rise doesn't have a way to track which branch someone follows. It can only track completion.
• Completion can only be tracked via one of the following methods:
  1) Steer all users to the same final Lesson in Rise. In that Lesson, insert a Storyline block that has a completion trigger. Track completion via that Storyline block.
  or
  2) Steer all users to the same final Quiz in Rise. Track completion via that Quiz.
