Progressive Reveal: Unlock content or questions as you progress

One step at a time—because the best learning unfolds with purpose.

What It Is

Progressive Reveal interactions unlock new content, questions, or steps only after a learner completes the current one. Whether it’s reading a paragraph, answering a question, or watching a video clip, the next piece only appears when the previous is completed. This creates a focused, guided learning experience that encourages curiosity, pacing, and attention to detail.

When to Use It

  • Delivering step-by-step instructions or procedures
  • Controlling flow in complex scenarios or simulations
  • Preventing learners from skipping critical safety or compliance details
  • Pacing story-driven learning, where each part builds on the last
  • Releasing quiz questions only after reflection or learning content is completed

Why It Works

  • Encourages linear thinking and process mastery
  • Increases engagement and focus by minimizing distractions
  • Promotes anticipation and curiosity, which boosts retention
  • Reduces cognitive overload by breaking up dense content
  • Prevents skipping ahead, ensuring foundational understanding

Impact Insight: Imagine your team mastering processes step by step—because your training revealed just enough, just in time, to keep them focused and progressing.

Examples in Action

  • Healthcare: Unlock the next symptom analysis only after diagnosing the previous step
  • IT Training: Progress through system setup tasks, one action at a time
  • Compliance: Reveal regulation sections sequentially before allowing a response
  • Retail: View customer background, then unlock tailored product recommendation options

Customization Options

  • Unlock by interaction type (click, answer, time-based, or completion)
  • Horizontal, vertical, or grid layouts for different reveal styles
  • Conditional logic to reveal different content based on choices
  • Visual transitions or animations for reveal effects
  • Optional gating settings (mandatory or optional reveal paths)
Progressive Reveal interactions guide learners with intention—ensuring they stay engaged, digest information in the right order, and build knowledge layer by layer.
