Hi, Rich,

There's a very elegant/simple way to do what you want. Just set the Menu Options to Restricted navigation.

Notes:

  • This disables the Next button until the timeline ends. At that point, it enables Next. And it won't disable it again when the user revisits the slide. (You can override that with custom triggers to control Next.)
  • If you show the built-in Menu, Restricted navigation prevents the user from advancing to a new slide by clicking the Menu. But they can use the Menu to return to any previously viewed slide.
  • Restricted navigation controls the Next button even if you don't show the built-in Menu.
  • This doesn't impact the Slide Properties for revisiting (i.e., the reset or resume options).
