Quiz Review...no nav btns??

I have build a quiz and when I review the answers after completing the quiz it goes to slide 1 and tells me I have answered correctly but there is no way to go to slide two. Any suggestions?

Hi Rich

That's what the Next button is intended for. Have you ensured it is enabled?

Edit %26gt; Preferences %26gt; Quiz %26gt; Settings.

Tx...I have that box checkmarked but no ''next'' btn shows.

Hi again

And when you edit the question slide by clicking the Edit Question button...

Is the Skip option enabled on the Options tab?

Here is the published file. The correct answers have a period in front.

Ok..I did enable the skip button and it does show up on my slides but:

1. I don't want it to show on my question slides (no questions should be skipped)

2. It should say ''Next'' rather than ''Skip'' on the review slides.

Does this make sense?

Hello again

When you edit the Preferences, look at the area labeled Default Labels.

In this area you may configure how the button reads.

Note that the button is all or nothing. In other words, you cannot suppress it when initially asking the question. The purpose is for the review. But the user is able to click it during the time of initially answering.

You may wish to consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the ability to present it only when reviewing.

Thank you so much. Know that you are an amazing asset here on the forum. I hope you are being compensated somehow.

I am so frustrated with trying to use Captivate with its limitations I am looking elsewhere for a more flexible app. Right now I am looking at Articulate Quizemaker. Do you have a opinion on this app or suggestions for another one?

Again...Thank you so much for your time.

Hi Rich

Thanks for the kudos. Adobe is good to us helpers. I'm just one of several they have.

Sorry, but Captivate is the only real eLearning product I know. I do use Techsmith Camtasia Studio as well, but I don't really consider it a competitor. More of just another tool that does full motion fabulously well.

Sorry you are frustrated with Captivate. I really like using it and sure, like any other software it will drive you nuts sometimes.

The key is to report things via the Bug Report or Wish Form. That way any issues are logged. If you are having problems sorting something, development maybe needs to look at the workflow and consider it's not as intuitive as it needs to be.

Cheers... Rick

I use ''Forward'' and ''Back'' buttons for reviewing a quiz. If you set your quiz preferences to ''Answer All'', the ''Forward'' (Skip) button doesn't work when the quiz is initially taken. Only the ''Submit'' button will move the user to the next slide. I'm not sure if this is what you need, but it works for me. The ''Back'' button works, but the users can't change their answers.

I have had this same problem and this is exactly what I needed to do. Thanks so much!

Just a recap if anyone else is having this problem. If you want to enable a ''Next'' or ''Skip'' button for the review portion of your quiz but don't want that button to be usable while the user is actually taking the quiz, you need 1) show the skip button on all your question slides, and 2) as 123Baxter said, in the ''Settings'' tab of the Quiz Preferences, under the ''Required'' heading choose ''Answer All - the user must answer every question to continue'' This makes it so the skip button appears but does not work during the quiz, but will indeed go to the next slide when a user is reviewing their quiz.

Perfect!
