I am creating a quiz on articulate and want it to be reset when the user clicks 'try again.' So far I haven't had any luck and I have already set the base layer to return to its original state... I have attached the project with this question. Maybe somebody can tell me what I am doing wrong? It is slide 1.11
Hi, Claudia -- After doing some testing, I believe the steps outlined below from this thread will do the trick for you!
For a matching drop down to reset it so that the user can answer again without seeing their first answers, you'd need to set up something like the following:
1. Set the question slide properties to "Reset to initial state"
2. Set the number of attempts to 2 or more
3. Place a blank slide prior to the quiz slide, with the trigger - jump to next slide when timeline starts (this will allow it to not be visible)
4. Create a trigger on the Try Again layer to jump to the blank side when clicking Try again
This will reset the matching drop down each time so that it shows "Select" in each of the drop downs. This set up will allow unlimited attempts, as each time it's being reset.

Hi, Claudia -- Welcome to the community! :) You may want to check out this thread on a similar topic for some ideas you can try. Hope that helps!
It is still not resetting, I am making a matching drop down quiz. Can that be reset to its original state once the user clicks on 'try again'?
Hi, Claudia -- Thanks for your response. I will take a closer look at your file and be in touch shortly. Your patience is appreciated.
