Keep people from moving to the next slide - must review all tabs
I have a very simple slide that i downloaded. It includes tabs. I thought about it after i worked on everything to make it where all of the tabs had to be reviewed before going on to the next slide, but nothing i've done seems to work.
I want all 5 tabs to to be read/reviewed before moving on. When then tab is clicked, information appears. I've attached a screenshot of the current triggers (not the ones where i tried to add markers).
Any suggestions?

If you change the state of each tab to "visited" when the time line ends on the tab Or the tab is clicked on. Then change your Jump to next slide trigger to "When the users clicks the next button if each tab (you will need to list them) is visited.
Good luck
thanks
Hi Katrina,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are currently working on and hoping to accomplish. I see that Eric has chimed in with an excellent suggestion to add a condition on the next button trigger (thanks, Eric).
Just let us know if you have any further questions.
Be aware that you may have problems if YOU change the state to Visited. The built-in states (like Visited) have their own superpowers that automatically perform the correct function. So when your learner clicks an object with a Visited state, the object is automatically changed to the Visited state. If you create a trigger to duplicate that function, sometimes the system takes offense, and the results can be unpredictable, but seldom desirable.
There is a sample that may help you in this discussion:

It shows layers when hovering, instead of clicking, but that can be easily changed. Because the learner doesn't actually click the objects, I couldn't use the Visited state, so I used the custom state Viewed.
