This article explains how to update the behaviour of Next and Continue buttons in your modules. Skillcast modules use two navigation styles, and the way you manage these buttons depends on which style your module uses.
Module navigation styles
Left‑to‑Right navigation
Uses page‑based navigation. These modules only contain page elements.Scrolling navigation
Uses a combination of pages and scrolling sections. Scrolling sections may contain text, images, and interactive elements.
Because these navigation styles behave differently, the settings for the Next or Continue buttons also differ.
How to update Next or Continue button behaviour
Open the module you want to edit
Select Edit content in the sidebar
When sections contain only text and images
If a page or scrolling section contains only static content (for example: text or images with no interactive exercises), the Next/Continue button should be triggered by the section itself.
When the module uses scrolling navigation
If the module was created with a scrolling skin:
The page element should always be set to Show Next
How to edit settings
Select Edit on the element you want to update
For page elements: adjust the hide‑delay setting
For scrolling sections:
Untick Hide Next and Continue buttons
If needed, adjust the Show Next/Continue button delay
These settings allow you to control whether the navigation buttons appear immediately or only after the user has engaged with the content.
After completing your module changes
When you finish updating the module, remember to follow your usual publishing steps so learners can see the latest version.
