When the learner begins the first to learn. I set the "next" button disable when the timeline starts on this slide and "next" button normal when the timeline ends on this slide. But I would also like to make the "next" button normal when user review this slide again. So how I set the trigger for this.
More information: the slide is having audio and animation, so I would not to need the learner to go through all the scenarios when they review it. So how I set the "next" button again.
You can add a variable to track that the slide has been viewed.
For example
The first time they visit, the var is False so the button is disabled. At some point the var = True. When they revisit, the button will not be disabled
Here's the training on variables

I agree with Tom's recommendation above to use a T/F variable.
FYI: You'll find a demonstration file with ways to control the Next button here: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/tip-controlling-the-next-button-101
It depends on a combination of your Navigation Restrictions, along with what triggers you are or are not using.
The simplest way to accomplish what you're describing is to:
When the timeline starts, the "Lock Next/Previous buttons" setting causes the Next button to be disabled. Then when the timeline is finished, it automatically enables the Next button. When the learner goes back to the slide later, the Next button is still enabled because you don't have a trigger changing the state.
Yes, Jennifer's suggestion to use the Navigation Restrictions is the easiest way to control the Next button on all slides. (I mention that option in the post I linked to above.)
Tom and I were referring to controlling the Next button on just one slide.
That's a helpful clarification. The question read as if they are adding the triggers to all of their slides, so I wanted to make sure to share a way to reduce the unnecessary work.
Thanks for all your helps. These information and instructions are useful. I adjust the variables as Tom and Jennifer's suggestions. It works. Thanks, and have a great holiday!
