Previous and Next Buttons Show Up When Diabled

I could really use some advice here!

I'm working on a large-scale with many Storyline files and many slides. In all of these slides, there is one slide where the Previous and Next buttons in the Storyline file are showing up, even though they are disabled and we are using custom navigation buttons.

I did find that I can get one of the buttons to go away if I enable one and disable the other. However, I really don't want either of them there!

Has anyone encountered this before? I'd love some advice!

Thanks!

    never encountered that one. On the slides they are showing up on set initial state to hidden. Then if you need them to come on later you can.

  • Are they only showing up in quiz review, this is by design, there are workarounds for this

      Hi Phil,

      Can you share the workaround for this? I'm encountering this now. Thanks!

    Phil, I seem to be having the same problem. I have a slide set up like an info graphic. The user clicks the various boxes of information to read or interact with the material and then hits the "previous" button on the player to return to the main slide and I have disabled ALL of the "next" buttons throughout the module. One informational box has been made into a fake quiz--the user clicks on that box and behind the scenes gets a fake quiz question correct (in order to  send a successful to the LMS). The side they land on is a disguised results page. They would hit "previous" to return to the main slide again and this is where the next button shows up. So I guess Storyline thinks the user is now in "review" mode. So what can I do to solve this?  The next button goes nowhere and confuses the learner!

    p.s. I tried to upload a dummy version to show you what I'm talking about but the upload doesn't seem to be functioning properly.
