Yes, it has to do with the seekbar. If your slide's player controls include a seekbar, you can set this selector to Yes if you want to make the seekbar active on your slide layer. This is handy if the layer contains video, animations, or audio that you want learners to be able to pause, rewind, or fast-forward. If you leave the option set to Automatically Decide, Storyline will allow seeking on the layer if you've marked any of the following options: Hide objects on base layer, Prevent the user from clicking on the base layer, or Pause timeline of base layer.
The problem I have is when the user is scrubbing when video is on the layer + audio playing, the video automatically starts playing even though it is set to play when the user clicks the play button.
Have you turned off seeking on that layer and still see the behavior? If so, let us know and please share your Storyline file (or even that one slide/sample) so that we can take a look.
I am creating a course in Storyline 2 with some Drag and drop non graded activities. I want the activities resume in a saved state only when the user completes it correctly so that user not bothered with doing the activity again, but activities should be initialized when the learner does it incorrectly. Is this function possible? Please help!
Hello Sujan! You can set the resume behavior of the entire course from the Player properties, but you won't be able to specify different behavior for slides answered incorrectly through that feature. Perhaps you can get creative, however, in the use of variables so that you can tie in the users' responses with what happens when they land on that slide again-- for example, setting a "correct" variable to true when answered correctly, and triggering "jump to next slide" automatically when the users revisit if that "correct" variable is true.
I'll defer to the community for some crafty workarounds!
There isn't a way to choose how the slide resets based on how the user answered it. I have seen community members allow for a reattempt of only the incorrect questions from the "retry" button of the results slide and so perhaps you'll want to investigate this method.

Gotcha!
