The timesaving power of conditional triggers and/or else actions. Instead of creating a trigger to disable the Next button at the beginning of a slide and another trigger to change the state of the Next button to normal after all of the objects or buttons on the slide have been visited, you can do all of this in one trigger.

Hi Melanie - for some reason I'm having trouble visualizing the trigger. If I want the next button disabled when the slide starts, how does the if/else come into play? I've used the else action several times, but for some reason this is making my brain warp!

    Hi Trey, sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean to imply that both a condition and an else action is required for that. I was just touting the power of conditional triggers and/or else actions as hidden gems. 

    Here is an example of controlling access to the Next button, with only a condition on a Quiz Summary slide. If the user did not pass the quiz, they cannot move past it by using the Next button.
