How to disable "Hit Enter Key to Advance Slide "

We don't want students to advance to next one before they view the whole slide. So we hide the next button until the end of the slide.

But we noticed that at the beginning of the slide, you can skip it by hitting enter key.

This is something like a "backdoor" to complete a course without even viewing the content. Is this a designed feature or bug?

Please let me know how to solve this.

 

Thanks,

  • Hello Everyone!

    I wanted to share some great news! We are no longer seeing this bug that prevented the enter key from functioning as expected when submitting answers on a freeform text entry field with an expanded height in Storyline.

    Please make sure that you are using the current version of Storyline 360 (3.72.29699.0)This guide walks you through installing, updating, and opening Articulate 360 apps.

    Please let us know if you're still encountering the issue and we'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you in a support case.

  • I did disable next as well, that didn't work if you hit next and reached next slide and hit enter. That will go to the slide after next. And you keep hitting Enter, you keep skipping content even I set disable Next for all slides.

  • Hi Philippe,

    This is an issue that we have reported to our team.

    I will add this conversation to the report as we continue investigating and so that we can update you here when we can.

    We do have a workaround listed:

    • Delete the trigger that hides the Next button when timeline starts.
    • Restrict the navigation so that the Next button will be in its disabled state.
    • Use a trigger that would make the Next button Normal when timeline reaches x seconds.
