Prev and Next button appear after revisit the quiz.
Hi all
I have disabled the Prev and Next button for all the slides. I have created a custom button to allow reset the quiz. I published the project to both html5 and flash. The flash version works perfectly fine but the issue with HTML5 version is that the "Prev" and the "Next" button would appear after revisiting the quiz (as seen in the picture). They only appear after revisit the quiz.
I am using Storyline Update 1. Is it a bug of this version or I have done something wrong.
Thanks.

I know this is an old thread.. but if anyone is still listening, I'm wondering how to set a trigger for that Next button that appears by default when revisiting a quiz slide.
I've got a scene that has a series of quiz questions. You access that scene from a main menu slide in another scene. And at the end of the quiz questions, I want users to be able to return to that main menu slide again. This works fine first time through... the Continue button has a trigger that returns them to the main menu slide.
If they revisit the Quiz scene, they can review each of their questions/answers, clicking Next to go from question to question. This is fine. But when they get to the last question, the Next button doesn't do anything. And there is no way to add a trigger to the Next button on that slide to send it back to the main menu slide... because the Next button was turned off for all of the quiz questions. It's only showing up because it is the default behavior in Storyline, as noted above.
As a possible solution, is there a way to add a button on that last slide that will only display when the quiz question is being revisited? And then I could add a trigger to that button?
Thanks for any help here.
Hi Jill! This is certainly something that sounds feasible based on your description. Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can help with that set-up?

Unfortunately, it's proprietary... so I can't share. Can I send a stripped down version of this privately, rather than post it to the forum?
Absolutely Jill. You can share privately here.

Hi Marge,
Since I can't see your project file I am going in blind with my answer, but maybe it can help.
Possible fix
When you are enabling the option to 'ALLOW USERS TO REVIEW QUIZ' (found under the options on the result slide) you are actually creating an extra layer for each of your question slides. And in contrary to popular belief, you can manipulate this layer and do anything you want with it on this layer (like adding an extra button with a trigger that brings the user to any place you want).
How to see this extra layer in your project
For each question, make sure the view is set to 'FORM VIEW'.
Then look for the FEEDBACK AND BRANCHING options found at the bottom of the form. Underneat the CORRECT and INCORRECT feedback you will see a box POST-QUIZ REVIEW.
This box is empty by default. This means that you will never see this when you go back to SLIDE VIEW. What you however do see on the slide view (automatically) is the CORRECT and the INCORRECT layer.
This makes sense because there is something to display on these layers since the feedback text is pre-filled. Now comes the clue of the story. If you type something in the POST-QUIZ REVIEW box there is a new layer added to the SLIDE VIEW. Storyline will now add a new layer called REVIEW.
Now you can play around with this layer and have full control on what you want to achieve in your project when users are reviewing a particular question.
Extra tip
The REVIEW layer added by using the POST-QUIZ REVIEW field listens to the REVIEW FEEDBACK layout in your FEEDBACK MASTER. If you work with master slides, you now know where to change the default look and contents of this layer.
Let me know if this was helpfull in any way!
Thanks Christopher for sharing here - really nicely written up idea for Marge!

I found a solution to this. I chose to enable the prev and next buttons on my slide and then used triggers to hide them when slide starts. this over-rides the review mode showing the buttons on the slide.
Awesome. Glad you were able to find something that worked well for you Brett and I appreciate you chiming in to share.

Hi
I notice this thread is 2 years old - has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have a course with custom navigation buttons - everything looks and works fine until you go back to review the quiz then these annoying prev and next buttons appear. More annoyingly they appear in a position on the slide that blocks some key text. If they cant be disabled, is there any way of changing where they appear?
Hope someone can help....

In Storyline 360, it's not just a reviewing process where this happens, I just go back to the question slide and the buttons appear.

That’s because once you’ve answered a question and go back to it SL thinks your in review mode - that’s how it was explained to me Nejc

Yeah, it makes sense.
But NOT if you have the buttons disabled and you use custom navigation. Then it just becomes extra work.
