Next button in quiz slides...

I am working on a quiz in Captivate 8 and I am having a dilemma:

1.  If participants click Next (after selecting an answer) and not Submit, they can get to the next slide but their answers will not be recorded and they will not receive feedback if it was right or wrong

2.  If we remove the Next button and participants click Submit and then go back to a previous slide for some reason they are not able to go past the slide they already submitted.

Any suggestions on the best way to handle this?  Is there any way that you can set Submit so it can be clicked more than once?

You could find a lot of details in this (well-visited) blog post:

Up till CP8 the Next button had a double functionality:

  1. During quiz it has the function of a Skip button
  2. During Review it is working as a real Next button and needs to be present to allow navigation

You can read that my workaround is to drag the Next button under the Clear button, to avoid confusion for the users between Submit and Next. When they will be in Review mode, the Clear button disappears and the Next button appears.

It won't allow me to drag it under the Clear button.  Next always goes on top and there is no way to send it back or to bring Clear to the front.

The normal stacking order should be with Next under Clear. But since you probably already unchecked Clear once, that order has changed. Try the Arrange option (under right-click menu) and send the Next button Backwards). If that is not working, try to uncheck the Next button as well, then check both Clear and Next button, to restore the original stacking order. Do it in the Quizzing Master slides.
