Thanks, Alyssa, I figured it out. I had to publish using the HTML/Flash option instead of the Flash/HTML option to get the answers to shuffle in the LMS. Not all my animations work (wipe, wheel, etc) but I got the answers to shuffle.
Yeah- I'm using Explorer. I also didn't know that the answers only shuffle once the slide is re-loaded. I thought the shuffle would work with multiple attempts on the same slide but it doesn't. I had to put a trigger on the "try again" button to jump to the same slide and change the slide properties to 'reset to initial state" to get them to shuffle through multiple attempts.
I'm having a similar issue; my drag and drop drag choices (the answers) are set to shuffle, but they keep presenting one-at-a-time in the order they were created.
Details: Using Storyline 360, Chrome browser, IE browser, answers didn't shuffle in Preview or Publish to Review
Wait. I think I figured it out. I guess when the Drag items are set to Reveal One at a Time, they don't shuffle. I'm just guessing here.
To fix that, I went to the three dot menu on the right side of Reveal One at a Time and reordered the draggables. From what I can gather they will always be in that order (rather than shuffling each time the learner accesses the slide), but it's better than nothing!

Hey Paul! Happy to lend a hand.
First, what version of Storyline are you using? Also, is the published content hosted on a web server or a learning management system?

Ah, okay! That's a good clue.
It could be that the answers weren't shuffling in Flash. What web browser were you using?
If you're using Internet Explorer or Edge, that explains why the wheel and wipe animations aren't working correctly.

Great workaround, Paul! That way, the answer choices will shuffle each time the learner attempts the question. Smart idea!

Is that the solution to this?
You got it, Heather! You can set the drag item sequence when you enable the "Reveal drag items one at a time" setting.
Let me know if you have other questions about that!
