Storyline 360 Restricted Next behavior (sanity check)
Hey TedNunes,
Happy to jump in here.
I can confirm that EricSchaffer-d1 is correct. This functionality has been present in Storyline for a while. Restricted Navigation handles it all natively.
- 'Next' auto-disables on first visit, re-enables at the end of the Timeline, and stays enabled on any revisit.
The reason you needed the extra 'disable' Trigger with unrestricted navigation is that it doesn't have any of that built-in logic, so you had to manage both ends yourself. Adding any change-state Trigger targeting 'Next' signals to Storyline that you're managing the button state manually, so it overrides the auto-enable behavior and defers to your Triggers instead.
One of our Storyline gurus (JudyNollet) shared an excellent breakdown of all the ways to control the 'Next' button if you'd like to go deeper:
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
I believe it has been there for a long time now. I know a lot of people do some of the same things you have been doing, people I work with, but they miss this and make a lot more work for themselves.
