TOC Navigation Control Missing in New Adobe Captivate
Issue Summary:
In the new version of Adobe Captivate, Table of Contents (TOC) items are enabled from the beginning, allowing users to skip slides without completing them. This undermines the learning flow and defeats the purpose of structured eLearning.
Expected Behavior:
There should be an option or variable to disable TOC items initially, and enable each item only after the corresponding lesson or slide is completed.
Actual Behavior:
All TOC items are accessible from the start.
Learners can skip ahead without engaging with the content.
No built-in setting or variable is available to control TOC item visibility based on slide completion.
Impact:
This behavior allows learners to bypass essential content, which is not acceptable in any structured learning environment. Without this control, the new Adobe Captivate version is not suitable for compliance or mandatory training modules.
Suggested Fix:
Introduce a feature that:
Allows TOC items to be enabled sequentially, based on slide or lesson completion.
Provides a variable or toggle to manage TOC item visibility dynamically.

Agreed. You have 0 control over course progress right now. You can try to hide the next buttons, but you can't gate ToC elements at all.
Gotta do a workaround for every feature that Captivate team didn't bother implementing or removed with their "updates" in last 10+ years.

Thank you for your feedback!
You can use the TOC-related variables shown in the attached screenshot to enable, disable, show, or hide the TOC. These variables can be toggled through slide enter or exit interactions.
Please let us know if you have a different requirement or workflow and we will be happy to help.
