How to force content in Learning Interaction Widget - Captivate 9

Question

I am new to Captivate, but due to a deadline for some of my company's e-learning courses I am diving right in. I cannot figure out how to force a learner to click on the tabs and scroll in each tab in a Learning Interaction widget. The closest help I could find was for Captivate 5, and it looks no-where near the same in Captivate 9. As an alternative, I have timed out the continue button on the slide itself, but this does not ensure that each tab will be clicked/scrolled within the widget. Can anyone help?

Just a comment, referring to my previous career as a college professor: even if you force learners to click on everything, how can you be sure that they have read anything? Testing if they have indeed understood the content is a much better way.

No, the default learning interactions, think you are referring to the ones like accordeon, tabs, process circle, do not have such a possibility built in. You have to look out of the box for another solution where each 'click' is indeed corresponding with an event which can trigger an (advanced) actio. In such an action you can toggle and track user variables for each tab/item and show the Next button when all variables have been toggled, indicating that everything has been clicked.

Another approach is with Drag&Drop: have them drag sources to a target, and with the object action or with builtin states you show the information after each drag action. Same approach: that object action can also track a user variable, maybe this time you can do with one counter.
