Customizing Quizzes in Captivate 8

I am creating a course in Captivate 8 with quiz questions peppered throughout instead of a final quiz at the end. I want learners to be able to go back and forth as necessary. Is there a way to create an advanced action to display a Next button ONLY after users have answered a quiz question?

Next button has no sense on Quiz slides during quiz, only during Review. You can just drag it under the Clear button. Users have to use the Submit button, and they'll have to answer the question.

If users reach a quiz slide and use the Back button the course allows them to move back. If they answer the question and move forward, then try to go back, the course allows them to move back. However, when they go forward again and reach the quiz question they have already answered, the course freezes and they can't advance. The course locks on the quiz question slide.

Bad idea to allow backwards navigation before Review. It causes always issues. But if you want it, you can find a workaround with advanced actions and tracking user variables. Are you familiar with them? The idea is to check if a question slide is visited not for the first time. You can leave the Next button but make it invisible to user (no Fill, label nor stroke) and cover it up with a mockup image of the button that set initially to invisible in output. You make it visible when the question slide is not visited for the first time with a conditional advanced action that will need two decisions because the only event you can use is the On Enter event, and you also have to toggle the user variable associated with that question slide.
