Is it possible to restrict learner's ability to continue on to the next section until they have viewed every tab in the block and/or lesson? As I see it now, in preview mode, learner would be able to continue on to the next section without having viewed each tab, or turned each flashcard, or clicked each labeled marker on an image, etc.
You can use continue blocks to require learners to complete carousel blocks, checkbox lists, audio blocks, video blocks, accordions, tabs, labeled graphics, processes, sorting activities, flashcards, knowledge checks, and Storyline blocks.
While there isn't a way to ensure the learner views every tab in a tabs block, you could design the tabs on a Storyline slide and embed the slide using a Storyline block. Then, require the learner to complete the Storyline content before moving on.
I would like the learner to watch an embeded video before they continue with the lesson. I have added the 'locked' continue button but it is appearing as unlocked before the learner has even started the video.
I have tried both the 'Complete block directly above' and the 'Complete all blocks above' completion types. I have also recreated the lesson, adding branding new blocks but nothing is working.
Hi there, Natasha. The continue button will work on video blocks, but it can't tell if your learners have interacted with an embed block because that content is hosted externally. Is that what you're using in your lesson?
I'm having similar issue to Natasha. However, mine is related to a PDF document. We want to ensure learners have clicked on the PDF before being able to move onto the next lesson. I have added the continue button and requirements for all blocks to be completed before moving on. However this doesn't work.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
If clicking on a link to open a PDF document is an absolute requirement, then you could build this interaction in a Storyline block! Here's how I envision that working:
On a Storyline slide, add a button with a link to the PDF document.
On the same slide, add this trigger: Complete course when the user clicks the button.
Add a continue block after the Storyline block. Be sure to set the Completion Type to require learners to Complete the block(s) above the continue block.

Great question, Amanda!

Awesome - the continue block settings will work for this. Thanks so much

Let me know if that would be an option for you!
