Slide Properties
In slide properties, how do I prevent a learner from advancing the slide before it finishes?

Hi, Chris.
Without seeing the file, my initial thought is that it's related to the manually created triggers for the built-in states ("I have set up a trigger to change the state of each box to selected when clicked on").
When using Built-in states, there's no need to create a trigger to change the object into that state. The logic is all done by Storyline for you.
Try removing those triggers to see if the project works as expected. If it doesn't, you're welcome to share the .story file here, and I'm happy to take a look at what's happening.

I presume you mean sending it via email?
Slide 1.12 is our problem child.There are 4 links to other slides that must be clicked before the next button is enabled.
But I cannot make this work.Chris Thomas

Hi, Chris,
As Maria said, it confuses the program if you use triggers that duplicate what happens automatically. Built-in functionality will change an object with a Visited state to Visited as soon as the user clicks it. So don't use a trigger for that.
So, you've got a trigger to change the state of the Next button, but it isn't running. Here are the typical issues for that:
- The trigger appears after a trigger that jumps to another slide. That doesn't work, because the program can only run triggers on the slide it's on. This can be fixed by moving the trigger up.
- The "when" for the trigger isn't happening. How to fix this depends on how the slide is set up.
- Another issue with custom menu slides: The trigger to change the state of the Next button runs and the program jumps to the appropriate slide. But when the user returns, the trigger that disables the Next button runs again. This can be fixed by using a variable and trigger conditions.
