I have a quiz set up with 2 retakes. I would like to enable the review quiz option after the 2 retakes are completed. I have tried disabling the review button upon start of the timeline and using the attempts variable, as I did with the retakes, but that's not working for me. I tried setting up a new variable but that didn't work either. Can you help? Thanks! I have attached the story file for you.
I would set the review button to hidden or disabled initial state from the states tab.
Add a variable called counter (you can call what you want). set a trigger on the failed layer to add one to counter when timeline starts, then add a trigger on the failed layer to change state of your review button to normal review when counter equal to 3.
That's great! That worked. To complicate things a bit it occurs to me that users will utilize a different amount of retakes. Some will pass the quiz first time. Some the second, some the third. And some will fail all three. Is there a way to have the review be available to users when they pass as well? I didn't think about that until just now!

Nevermind...I got it! I just added a trigger to the success layer to change the state of the review button to normal. Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it!
Just read your comment as I came across the same issue in Storyline 2. I tried following your instructions for the variable and triggers but I still do not see review after 3 or more failed attempts. Could you please suggest if I am doing it incorrectly?
Hi there, Umesh. That looks right to me! Could we have a look at your file or a smaller sample with this setup? You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
I see my teammate, Crystal, shared this handy insight on how to get a trigger on the Failure layer to change the Review Quiz button to Normal once a quiz has been retried:
First, I noticed that the Review Quiz button was invisible on the timeline. This feature doesn't change the state of the button to Hidden. Instead, it removes the object from the slide. Make sure the button is visible in the timeline.

Glad you got it working. Add the review button to the success layer as well just don't hide/disable it.

One additional thing probably best to set trigger to 3 or more just incase they go round again
