Prevent Forward Seeking but Allow Backward Navigation in Video (Storyline .story Template Request)

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Articulate Storyline to build video-based e-learning modules (SCORM for LMS/Moodle), and I’m trying to implement a very specific navigation behavior.

Goal:

  • The learner cannot skip forward in the video timeline (video in unique in slide)
  • The learner can go backward (rewind) at any time
  • Ideally, the restriction works progressively (i.e., they can only move within the portion already viewed)

I know there are workarounds using:

  • cue points
  • variables (e.g., tracking max progress)
  • triggers to block forward seeking

However, I’m looking for a ready-to-use .story template (or a solid implementation example) that achieves this reliably, especially in SCORM environments.

If anyone has already built something like this and is willing to share a .story file or outline the trigger logic, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
