Lock Down Restrictions
With the current lock down restrictions in SL2 and SL360, the learner cannot freely navigate the side menu or progress to the next slide until the timeline is complete. We at Relias Learning create some text-based courses with no audio, and would like the learner to progress to the next slide whenever they would like instead of having to wait on the timeline.
Our workaround for SL 2 has been to change some of the coding in the published frame.xml file. Now, in SL360, we're having to change the code in the frame.xml as well as frame.js. Is there any way to publish a course with our desired lock-down (menu locked, next button free)?
I can think of two solutions:
1) Make a way to set the default timeline on a project to 1/4th of a second (or the shortest time possible) on all slides. This isn't a perfect solution, but it would work. We can go through the course and change all slide timelines but that is time intensive and leaves room for error.
2) Have the option to lock the menu and navigation buttons separately. This would be ideal in our situation!
Is anyone else dealing with this? And if so, are there any solutions I've missed?

Hello, It is the newbie again, I have four content links on a slide. I do not want the learner to advance to the next slide until they have reviewed all the links on the page. I want to be able to lock down the next button and have it only be available after they click all 4 links. What is the best way to make this happen? Thank you so much.
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you would like to create with Storyline.
I created a brief example for you to download and take a look at. This example uses buttons, states, and layers.
Thank you so much for all of your assistance.
