Allowing Users to Skip the Timline

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Storyline 2 and I'm hoping to allow users to skip through the timeline of a slide. This could be accomplished by clicking a trigger on the screen, or any alternative.
This function would be particularly helpful if it's the second time the user has visited the slide, as I don't need him/her to hear the narration. Further, it allows users with muted volume to skip ahead, as they can read faster than the narration.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Brad
if you're using the SL player there is an option to have the seekbar display and to allow the user to skip ahead - access this via the Player tab and the options at the bottom left of the screen.
That's very helpful. Thank you Wendy!
Glad that Wendy was able to assist you here Brad. Just wanted to pop in and share a helpful tutorial for you or anyone following along.
Hi Brad:
Storyline development ideas that popped into my head when I read your article:
1. Create a variable or variable(s), along with triggers, to track the status of whether or not a learner has visited a slide or has listened to a narration.
(SUGGESTION: Create an ON/OFF switch for Slides that have Narration!)
2. Use variables and/or triggers to jump to pre-defined cue points, allowing your learners to progress through the timeline more quickly.
That's really helpful; thank you Mark!
