Storyline- Next button to become available after visiting another slide

I can only say this is so confusing. The simplest of tasks cannot be managed easily. I spend hours searching for resolutions to simple issues, to no avail. I have a slide that has three options. The next button is to be hidden until all three are visited, but that never happens because each time I return to the main slide the time line starts fresh. so I am stuck in a loop. Storyline is not intuitive at all. Not a developer friendly product. Just my opinion.
