Navigation buttons allow the learner to perform certain actions or navigate to another document in the course, when <Trigger> is triggered.
To insert a navigation button, use Basic Elements > Navigation Button, and set its <Operation> according to need. Some types of navigation buttons can also be inserted directly:
- To insert a pair of next/previous buttons, use Basic Elements > Navigation > Next/Previous Set.
- To insert a set of next/previous/end test buttons, use Basic Elements > Navigation > Test Navigation Set.
- To insert a close window button, use Basic Elements > Navigation > Close Window Button.
- To insert a print button, use Basic Elements > Navigation > Print Button.
Alternatively, to insert one of the preset navigation sets for a richer out-of-the-box experience, use Basic Elements > Navigation Set.
