Hi, Bernita,

Storyline has a "quirk" (aka bug): Even when you set a slide to resume saved state for revisiting, the program will still execute "when the timeline starts" triggers. To ensure the Next button only disables the first time a user visits the slide, do this: 

  • Create a T/F variable with an initial value of False.
  • Add a condition to the disable-Next trigger so it only executes if the variable = False. 
  • Add a slide trigger that adjusts the variable to True with the same conditions used for the trigger that changes Next to Normal.
