Is there a way to show the Resources and hide the player back/next arrows?
Hi there new Articulate friends,
I would like to make a number of resources available within my course, and the Resources feature, with the player link seems perfect. The problem I'm facing is that I also need to use custom navigation. So far, I haven't found a way to show the Resources tab, and hide the player back/next arrows on the player. There are a few possible workarounds, such as a custom resources screen, but I'd really prefer to use the Resources tab if at all possible.
Is anyone aware of a way to show the Resources tab, and hide the player back/next buttons?

Hi Diane,
When you set up the Player to make the Resources tab available, you automatically get the Prev / Next buttons as well. However, if you go into the individual slide properties (double-click on base layer in bottom right of screen), you have the option to turn off the Prev / Next buttons.
Unfortunately, this is on a slide by slide basis, but would at least give you the result you are after.

Thanks so much for the tip, Ned! This is exactly what I am looking for! Well, except for having to do it 78 times for this project ;-)
This will be even more helpful for my next project, however, since I can set up a number of slides and duplicate them.
I've no doubt that just as you finish all 78, someone else will come up with a one-click solution for the entire project, but I am afraid I haven't discovered that button yet. In the meantime, happy clicking !!! :)
I am here to report, 127 slides later, that there is NOT a one-click solution to this. Someone really should put this on a wish list somewhere.
Hi Amitty,
I hate to be the provider of bad tidings and have you running from your office screaming at the top of your voice, but, following your reply above, I have had another look at this and now have a one-click (well, perhaps it's three clicks) solution.
if you go into Slide View, select all the slides you want to change, deselect the Next/Prev buttons in the multiple-slide navigation options at the bottom right of the screen, your problem will be solved.
Look on the bright side, your next 127 slides will be a breeze !! :-)
