How to replay a layer?

The Play/Pause button in the lower left corner turns into a Replay (circled arrow) at the end of the timeline. Clicking the button at that point replays the slide

Have a look at the attached and see if that's what you wanted.

Thanks, Brian,

So there's no way to add a replay button to replay a layer?

Some layers include lots of info with a voice over, so learners may want to
replay for a second hearing.
And replaying the whole slide (sometimes up to 10 layers) is not much of a
help in these cases.

Hi Michael,

Thanks, but this file only repeats part of the audio in the layer, and none of the animation (I added).

Did it work on your PC?

Hi Tal,

You can do this with 4 simple triggers inside the layer itself.

You'll need a trigger to hide your layer on timeline end , and  immediately after that add another trigger to Show " your_layer's_name" upon timeline end to replay the layer. ( BUT these will just make it loop over and over).  So at .25 sec before the end of the timeline  you will need a trigger to Pause the timeline .  Your Replay button should be at exactly that point with it's own trigger to resume timeline when clicked.  Hope this is clear enough. Best of luck.   I'm guessing Michael's example above should be similar in approach and otherwise an excellent resource as well.

YES!!! It works!

Thank you SO MUCH, Richard.

I would have never figured it out on my own...

How to set up "at .25 sec before the end of the timeline  you will need a trigger to Pause the timeline ."? I use "Pause timeline"+"This Layer"+"Timeline ends"+"??". what should I do for the Object?

Hi Yolanda,

This thread is a bit dated, but I'd love to help you out.

Looks like you are wanting to follow the directions shared by Richard above and he's pausing the timeline prior to when the timeline ends, hence the .25 second comment.

Not sure what you're seeing or the object in question. Would you be able to share your slide in a .story file so that we can take a look and understand? Just let us know the effect/behavior you are looking for.

Hello Leslie,

Thank you for helping me. I added my file as the attachment. You will see the base layer and 2 slide layers.

I want users are able to see the animation with the audio on the slide layers again once they click on Replay button. I add Resume Timeline but it seems not function.

Thanks for sharing your file and allowing me to take a look Yolanda.

Yes, the replay button on your layer is set to resume timeline on layer, so it does not appear to be doing anything since you are on the layer.

I did not see where you were allowing the base layer to display on your layers, so it seems that slides would be a better fit for your design here.

Think of layers as 'layering' on top, but slides can hold different content.

With slides, you can have the behavior you are looking for along with less triggers :)

Take a look at Scene 2 in the attached file.

Hello Leslie, Thank you for your advice. I use Slides instead of Layers to perform the animation. It is much easier. Thank you
