Removing or Hiding the Previous/Next Buttons?
Hi There! I'm using Storyline to put together a (really cool) museum-style interaction that will play on a touch screen computer at a historical site! I'd like to essentially make the interaction play full screen at 1280X720, so I've gone in and set all of the player elements as transparent. Here's my question: I have gotten rid of everything but the previous and next buttons- how do I turn these off?
Thanks!

I am surprised to see how old this solution is, however it is still valid. I am new to using StoryLine as I used another product for a few years. This was a very simple change to do globally for the other tool and I found myself spending a lot of wasted time within the Player Properties to which I would expect this option to be found. As always the Articulate Community has helped me find a solution and I hope that a very simple solution can be added into the tool for the next release. Thanks!

Within the slide view, select the base layer and you'll see the cog - select it and you can change player options there

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, E!
I just had a discussion yesterday with another community member about this. Are you using a custom "Submit" button on your question slides, or are you using the default player's "Submit" button? Try creating a custom button and disable the default one. When you submit and return to the question slide, the player navigational buttons should remain disabled.
If you have any trouble with this, let me know!
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Christine,
I am using a custom submit button in my question slides, I disabled the submit and Pre/Next button in each of the slide. The only way it keep the default Prev/Next button disabled when I go back is if I set each slide to "reset to initial state" but It is not a good solution to do this.
Any idea why the prev/next button keep coming back? is that a bug or is there anything I can do?
Thanks

Phil, I agree with you. I wish there was a way to disable them. The review quiz is active in my project and I see the next and previous buttons when I am reviewing the quiz.
The other thing is that I have a mastery test that has presentation slides spread out in between questions and while reviewing the quiz the next and previous buttons are displayed on all the question slides but not the presentation slides. So learner can't go back if she gets to any of the presentation slides during the review mode.

Worked last I tested it It's been awhile. We've been using Storyline for too long... :P

Hi Steve and the rest of the community,
could you de me a favour and look at my attached storyline file? I tried to rebuilt the approach, that Steve suggested with regards to custom navigation cause I'm having the same problems as many users described here. I am using the latest version of Storyline 2 and currently, I do not manage to let the bulit-in naviagtion disappear when using Steve's approach.
You will see two scenes within the storyline file:
Scene 1: An assessment with two questions in a question bank plus a results slide, from where the user can review the question.
Scene 2: A "normal" scene with two questions. Once the user has answered Question 2, he comes back to the overview and can have a lool at the questions again, when he clicks the corresponding links.
Many thanks in advance
