Next Button not appearing
Hi Adam,
I appreciate you chiming in to share what you are still experiencing with your project file.
I want to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening with your permission. You can share it publicly here or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Thank you Leslie for getting back to me regarding this. I have managed to find a workaround that so far seems to work. I think the issue is that when going to the previous slide, even though it has already been viewed, and it essentially resumes the saved state of the slide, storyline is still technically starting the timeline on that slide again, even though it has already been viewed. Because I had a trigger set up "when the timeline starts on this slide, hide the next button" it would then continue to hide the next button again. I can only assume that the function of restricted next/back buttons is doing a similar thing.
My workaround is, rather than have it hide the next button when the timeline starts, I have it hide the next button when the timeline reaches 0.5 seconds. I then set the state of the slide to resume saved state when returning. and that seems to keep the next button visible allowing you to click back without having the issue of not being able to then click forward.
I will upload the test storyline file I created. For some reason when I removed my companies theme/layout I couldn't replicate the issue where when using restricted next/back buttons i would still have the same issue where revisiting a slide would mean the next button would disappear when there was a "visit all markers" requirement before being able to continue.
I have put some instructions on the slides, hopefully, this is easy to follow!
