Hey @dcasey720, regarding your question about section prerequisites: What you’re after isn’t currently possible out-of-the-box with Open edX: A subsection from one section can’t serve as a prerequisite for a subsection from another section, so you can’t model section-level dependencies in the way you describe. Your configuration is correct.

If “x-flow” is the same as [flow-control-xblock](https://github.com/eduNEXT/flow-control-xblock), you might find the following thread interesting: [Flow-control-xblock : anyone has experience?](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/flow-control-xblock-anyone-has-experience/1269).
