NEXT button on question slide not working on revisit
I'm having issues with the NEXT button that appears on a question slide when a learner revisits the slide after submitting.
As with your typical question slide, after the learner clicks SUBMIT, if they return to the slide it now has the PREV and NEXT buttons. On this activity slide, the PREV button works fine, but then when the learner wants to move forward again, the NEXT button does nothing; it's not linking to the next slide.
If I manually add the NEXT button in so it appears next to the SUBMIT button, then it works just fine; however, I don't want the NEXT button to appear when they first come to the slide to complete the activity.
All other question slides in the course are working properly; it's just this one that refuses to link to the next slide. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!
I had the same problem when the next slide was the first slide of a new scene. Like you, I added the NEXT button to the question slide, added a trigger for it not to work until the question is answered correctly, but I would like a more ideal fix as well.
Hi Lesley,
Yes, that was the exact issue! I forgot to come back and update this, but I finally figured out that it was because the question slide was the last in the scene. When it linked to another scene, then the Next button wouldn't work. In most cases I was able to adjust it so the last slide of the scene wasn't a question, but in some cases I needed to be creative. I agree that there should be a more ideal fix.

Thanks Tessa for coming back to update the thread!
I had this happen also -- quiz question on last slide of a scene. For me, it affected the quiz as well as the review.
It may not be too graceful, but I just put a .25s slide after the last quiz question. Nobody seemed to notice, and it clears up the navigation issues.
Like Tessa and Lesley, if there is a better way, I'm all ears.
WHYI HAS this NOT been addressed in ANY updates to date.
Your solution is GENIUS to say the least. Should be a top priority fix in my humble opinion.
Hi Troy,
Thanks for sharing - it seems that you're all using similar examples, and I haven't seen a different way. If you have a particular way you'd like it to function you can always submit it as a feature request.
Hi All,
I've experienced this same problem. Have used this work-around:
Add the Next and Previous buttons to the question (done in slide properties).
Go to both the Correct and Incorrect layers.
Add a value variable (I've named mine "Completed"). Set the value at zero.
Add a trigger that adds the value "1" to "Completed" when the Submit button is clicked.
Add a Message layer that says that the question must be answered, and the Submit button clicked to advance the course.
On the main slide
Add a trigger to jump to the desired slide when the Next button is clicked and the variable is greater than zero.
Add a trigger that shows the above Message layer when the Next button is clicked and the variable is equal to zero.
It seems to work!

Thanks Judy - great work around.
Hi, I was also getting the issue, while revisiting the Question slide and next button was not allowing me to jump to my Home menu slide, but later by R & D I got one solution. and I am sharing with all here. It was a small thing what I was missing.
Thank you for posting this! It has helped me!!!
Thanks Vimal for sharing and glad you figured it out. :-)
