Rapid Click Bypassing Triggers
Next button state set to disable upon start of timeline and set to normal when narration completes. But IF a user rapid clicks they can bypass the hold.
HOW are you stopping that from happening?

We may have found an answer. Eliminating the transition effect. Apparently when in transition, the timeline for the next slide has not begun so the trigger does not work.

Do you mean clicking on slide before button is disabled, or repeated rapid clicking on Next button?
This could be caused by a lot of different things. If your want an answer that is specific to your problem, attach the .story file here. It will help if someone can take a look at it.

Trigger Set state of Next Button to Disabled When the timeline starts on this slide.
IF you are a power clicker, or a rapid clicker on the next button, you can catch it before the trigger kicks in.
Sorry, cannot share a file, gov. I attached a screenshot of trigger panel. But you can do it with any, just set your mouse curser and rapidly click, you can bypass slides.

if have made a small example
- 4 pages (5 seconds timeline), page 2, 3, 4 with big images
- disabled the next button on timeline starts
- enabled the next button on timeline ends

no problem with fast clicking

I can get it to fast click through next and previous.

If you're truly concerned about users clicking so fast that they can bypass the partial second it takes for disabling NEXT, then don't use the built-in player navigation. Instead, use custom NEXT buttons on each slide with an initial state hidden.
Yeah, that's a lot of extra work. Is it worth it? Do you have evidence that people are clicking fast enough to bypass restricted navigation?
The ideal solution is to convince users it's in their best interest to complete the course, so they won't try to click through without viewing/hearing all the content.
Alternately, see if you can pull time-spent amounts from the LMS, and then tell people that anyone who finishes too fast will be punished.

It is not MY concern, it is the Training Managers concern. He was able to speed click through a required training module. Sadly, our users will sue the gov for training development, before they will take ownership. You cannot punish union and government workers.

yes, the complete navigation (incl. trigger) is updated AFTER the slide transition
now with 2 sec slide transitions

it's an error by design - i don't think articulate will correct the error
