Hi, I’m new to Evolve, and I’ve added the Content Locking extension to my course. I need learners to view a video before they can proceed to the next page. I’ve locked that next page, and I’ve indicated that it gets unlocked by the video they need to view. The lock icon _does_ appear in the menu, but the locking does not work when you proceed through the course using the footer navigation. Any ideas? Thanks very much.

That _should_ work - might be best to [get in touch with Evolve support](https://community.evolveauthoring.com/t/how-do-i-speak-to-tech-support/3078/2) so they can have a look for you
