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!

If you have the review quiz switched on the next and previous will appear, really frustrating because this destroys any design where you removed the buttons
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.
If I remember correctly, if you add custom prev / next buttons to your question slides and control the visibility with a variable, the built-in buttons do not appear since there's already a slide trigger on the slide.
1) Add custom back / next buttons (default to hidden) to your slides along with your submit (might be best to do this in the master slide for the questions)
2) Add a variable (inTest = true)
3) For each slide (or master) add a trigger to show the custom prev / next buttons if inTest=false.
4) Also add a trigger to hide the submit button if inTest=false;
5) On your results slide, set the inTest variable to false
This'll make your submit go away and the prev / next appear during the review. It should also suppress the appearance of built-in navigation, provided you have them unchecked in slide properties as well as the player.

Thanks Steve, if that works I owe you a pint of your favourite poison
Worked last I tested it
It's been awhile. We've been using Storyline for too long... :PHi 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

Hi Guys,
Thank you so much for the tips and help. I have been sicked for the past few days and havent had a chance to test this, I will report back once I test Steve solutions.
Hope you feel better soon, E!
Hi Christine,
I experiencing a very similar issue right now.
I am using a custom Submit button in my true/false, multiple choice, drag-and-drop etc questions slides (feedback in slide layers), I have disabled the defaults submit in each of the slide (I'm using custom Prev/Next buttons). The only way it keeps the default Submit disabled when I go back to revisit a responded question 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 default Prev/Next buttons are coming back after revisiting the question slides? Additionally, the default Next button does not navigate to the correct logical slide - instead, it jumps to a random slide in a previous section of my project.
Seems to be a bug in Storyline, please help!

Hi Ronny and welcome to Heroes!
Christine has taken another position within Articulate and doesn't get in the forums as often. Steve and Phil may be subscribed to this thread, but are you able to share your .story file here with us so that we can look at everything you have set up? If you'd prefer to share privately you can send it to our Support team here.
Ashley,
Thanks for the update. I'm attempting to sumbit the .story file via the support team link you've provided but I have no way to "submit" it. See image below...
Thank you!
