Restcricted menu does not actualize when my module is restarted

Hello,

I have a 6 modules fomration with restcricted menu but when the player click on restart the module, it does not actualize so the menu is free to navigate therefore i'll like it to be restricted like it does...

 

Could you help me ?

 

Thanks a lot.

  • When a Storyline project has restricted navigation, the user cannot click on the built-in Menu to advance to a new slide. The Menu can click on the Menu to return to any previously viewed slide. 

    What happens when a user exits a course and then returns to it depends on the Player's Resume settings (https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/articulate-storyline-360-user-guide-how-to-change-the-resume-behavior ).

    If you use restricted navigation and use the "Never resume" option, the course should reset to a fully restricted Menu if the learner exits the course and then returns to it. 

    However, I don't think that's a good option. A learner might go through part of a course, and then need to exit before completing. In such cases, they shouldn't be forced to repeat parts of the course.

      Hello,

      Thank you for your answer it is very helpfull. 

      The problem is solved for me and I understand more how the menu behavior works.

      However, I don't think that's a good option. A learner might go through part of a course, and then need to exit before completing. In such cases, they shouldn't be forced to repeat parts of the course.

    This is something I implemented a while ago. Attached is a simple example demonstrating JavaScript that resets the menu items to "restricted" after the learner clicks the Restart button on the Results slide. This prevents access to slides once the course is restarted.

    Two JavaScript codes are executed: one triggered by the "Restart Course" action and another on the master slide. Please test it in your environment and feel free to reposition elements as necessary (for example, executing JavaScript on the Failure layer of the Results slide).
