Previous button isn't working correctly
Hi Heroes
I'm facing 2 issues in one of the projects I'm working on. And hope someone can help!
1. The course requires learners to review quiz after they have completed the quiz. The quiz questions are in between content slides. I was able to review the quiz in the review mode perfectly. But the issue is, the Previous button isn't jumping to the previous question. When I clicked on the Previous button, it was supposed to jump to the earlier quiz question, but it jumped to the content slide instead. How do I set it in such a way that the previous button jumps back to the earlier quiz question and not to other slide?
2. In each quiz question, there are no next button. After the learner clicks on the answer, they have to click on the Submit button. Once they click it, the Continue button will show up for them to click in order to proceed to the next slide. It all worked fine and I could proceed to the next slide. But when I was on the next slide, I decided to click on the previous button to view the previous quiz question again, but this time the next button showed up in the quiz question (it shouldn't be when I didn't have it in the slide properties, but somehow it appeared). And this next button isn't working, how do I set it to jump to the next slide?
Thank you!
Hello Megan!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 79 (Build 3.79.30834.0)!
Included in this release is the fix for the bug: Navigation buttons appear when resuming an already submitted question slide
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

StevenBenassi, what happens if I already have the new version, and want to program the Previous arrow to go back to a particular slide? I should be able to use the Player Trigger for the "Next button/swipe next" command to "Jump to slide > when user clicks > previous," but neither "swipe" nor "previous" are showing up as options. What am I missing?
JenniferLee-7b7 : The PREV and NEXT buttons on question slides are a bit weird. Storyline knows to show them during a quiz review. In those cases, the buttons use the standard triggers: "jump to previous slide" and "jump to next slide." But, as you discovered, those triggers don't appear in the trigger panel.
Here's a workaround.
- Create a T/F variable to track whether to show the PREV/NEXT buttons or not. Keep the default value of False, and use that for when PREV/NEXT should not show.
Do this on each question slide:
- Open the Slide Properties, and select the PREV and NEXT buttons. That will make them show on the question slide, and the triggers will be available for editing.
- Adjust the PREV/NEXT triggers as needed to go to the desired slides.
- Add triggers to hide the PREV and NEXT buttons when the timeline starts with the condition that the variable = False.
Do this on the Results slide:
- Add a trigger on the Results slide that adjusts the variable to False when the user clicks the Retry button. Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger that jumps to the first slide in the quiz.
- Add a trigger on the Results slide that adjusts the variable to True when the user clicks the Review button. Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger to review the quiz. This will prevent the triggers that hide PREV/NEXT from running, because the stated condition won't be met. Thus, PREV/NEXT will show during a review.
