  • Always start over – The presentation is always played from the beginning.

Navigation Type

You can specify the order of slides view. To do this, select the matching option in the Navigation type menu. 

There are the following ways to navigate between the slides available:

  • Free - Learners can view the slides in either order.
  • Limited - Users can advance to the next slide according to the branching settings and return to already viewed slides.
  • Forward Only - Users can advance to the next slide after they viewed the current slide.

Keyboard Navigation

To allow your users controlling the course with keyboard shortcuts, check Enable keyboard navigation. 

Learners can control the slides with the hotkeys set up by default. 

Also, you can choose new keys for actions with the course. You can set up to three keys for each action. To do this, click Customize control keys...
