Problem: How can I lock out specific informational slides during a quiz to effectively make the quiz “closed book?” Usually this would be only the previous 1 to 5 slides.
Thanks for your help
ActivePresenter version: 9
OS: Win 11
Notes:
You can make it harder but I am not so sure you can 100% prevent it.
A thought… There may be others but this would be my approach…
Make your own navigation and disable the table of contents and play bar.
That way you have full control of when navigation is allowed and when it isn’t.
Not having a way to navigate on a particular slide will get you quite a ways with most students.
In theory, I suppose, someone might still find a way to navigate using the console but they would need to do plenty of research to figure it out.

Another approach, I suppose you could do something with a mask and some variables.
For example - when a person gets to the quiz you could set a variable, which, using a conditional check on slide load of your content slides, would show a box that covered the full slide with a message that stated content is unavailable until the quiz is finished.
Once it is finished - remove the flag - and the conditional check would remove the mask.

One more to play with and see if it will accomplish what you need.
In player settings, set navigation to none.
This may or may not be ideal depending on your needs later in the course.
You could potentially supplement this option with custom navigation buttons of your own.
Great, Greg!
I come up with those solutions as well.
You can try one of the ways Greg suggested, @rzjunction.
And let us know how it goes.
BR,
