How to disable the back button

We need to disable the back button if we don't want our learners getting confused by navigating to a menu that doesn't go anywhere.

We can set the following checkbox in the start settings section to disable the button.

Although the button is disabled, when you preview you will see that it is still visible.

How to Hide the back button

Copy and paste the following CSS code into the CSS/LESS section.

button[name="backButton"]{display:none;}

Click save and rebuild your course, this should now hide the back button. 🫥

Conclusion

You've now got the makings of a single page course, everything starts on one page and there's no way back to other pages.
