Captivate 7 1st quiz review slide has no next button until revisited

I am very new to Captivate. When I click on the review quiz button while previewing the project in Captivate and the LMS there is no next button on the screen. Only when you exit and re-enter the project does the next button appear.

    Yes, I am willing to reset the theme.  Unfortunately I don't know how to do that though. Okay, got it no deleting embedded objects.

    No we do not allow users to skip questions.


    In that case you need the Clear button, to be able to drag the Next button under that clear button. That way, the user cannot click the Next button during the quiz, because it is covered. During Review, the Clear button disappears automatically and the Next button will appear.

    Apparently the White theme has been messed up, since that button is gone. The themes you are working with are in a copied folder in the Public documents\Adobe\eLearning assets\Layouts. You'll probably see the date on the White.cptm has been changed. You can put back the original theme from the original Layouts folder, which you find in the installation folder of Captivate under the Gallery.

    In Captivate 7 the Next button if you provide it during quiz has a double functionality:

    • During the Quiz it is a Skip button
    • During Review it is the Next button

    If you don't want the user to skip questions, you can drag the Next button under the Clear button (on the master slide for quizzes). During Review, the Clear button will disappear and the Next button will be available. This tweak and more about quiz slide design can be found in:

    Unfortunately thre is no clear button either.  I've searched the forum and have seen this answer, but with no clear button I am lost on how to rectify.

    This master slides shows the Next button. But I see that the Clear button has been deleted: do not delete any embedded button or other object on master slides, because that will cause issues. Can you reset the theme, I see that you only added an image as Project background, which could be recreated in seconds. It is possible to unchedk some buttons in the Properties or in the Quiz Preferences, but do not delete on the master slides. An embedded object is an object that has no individual timeline. That is the case with a lot of objects, including the buttons on the quiz slides (and master slides).

    Do you allow users to Skip questions?


    Yes, I am willing to reset the theme.  Unfortunately I don't know how to do that though. Okay, got it no deleting embedded objects.

    No we do not allow users to skip questions.
