I am designing an experimental study, and I want the participants not to go back to the previous question/block after they are done with the experiment and respond to the post-experiment questions. How to disable the "back" button for one block or question. Thanks.

Hi,
one way of achieving this is to add the following to the JavaScript section of the questions where you want to hide the back button:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function ()
{
//hides the next button on a page
this.hidePreviousButton();
});

      Is there a way of achieving this without having to add it to every question in the block?
