Initial State Re-Set ONLY for retaking a course.

Hi Carlos,

Great question! I understand that you would like the learner to be able to revisit questions during the first attempt of a quiz but still be able to retake the quiz if needed. I'm happy to work with you to get your quiz set up that way! I have a follow-up question regarding the quiz so I can understand what you are experiencing a little better.

• Are the quiz question in a question bank or are they standalone questions?

If the questions are in a question bank, use follow these steps.

1. Open the question bank for editing.
2. Select the first slide and use the Slide Properties panel in the lower right corner to mark the Prev/Next boxes and uncheck the Submit box.
3. Repeat step 2 until the navigation controls have been changed for all slides.

If using standalone questions, follow these steps.

1. Switch the course to Story View.
2. Select the question slides.
3. Use the Slide Properties panel in the lower right corner to mark the Prev/Next boxes and uncheck the Submit box. All selected slides will be changed at the same time.

Removing the submit button on each question slide will set the quiz to submit the answers all at once when the learner reaches the end of the quiz. This will give the learner the ability to revisit questions on the first try and be able to retake the quiz after seeing the results slide.

I hope this helps and thanks for reaching out!

Thank you, John. The issue is this: when they fail the assessment for the second time, they must (per the client) retake the entire course again starting from slide 1. I created variables and triggers that after a second failure, they must restart the course. The issue is when they do, they can click through everything again without doing the interactions. I can change the slide properties to reset to initial state, but the client does not want that in since going through the first time, they would not be able to simply click previous and look at something real quick without doing the interactions again (since they have not failed yet). The only thing I can think of is to build variables/triggers for each slide...any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Carlos!

Thanks for the extra context about how your learners need to navigate quiz slides!

It sounds like you've identified the best solution to take by creating variables and triggers for each of your slides. We can only select one revisit behavior for the slides, and it looks like you were hoping to use at least two. The best way here is to use triggers and variables to control the navigation.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!

** Update **

Got it to work. Did the following:

• Copied entire course into another scene
• Had the "re-take course button" take them to that scene instead of the normal 1.1 slide
• Slide properties set to re-set to initial state for the new scene, which is basically the course in another scene when they failed the assessment for the second time
• Last slide of that new scene sends the user back to the last assessment page when they pass

This saved a TON of time in variables/triggers and issues with all the layers that I was running into. Again, this was a very specific issue with the needs of the end-user driving the design. Nonetheless, we can all get creative in how we solve design issues when managing labor/operational costs.

Hi Carlos,

I'm glad to hear that you solved the issue and appreciate you sharing your solution with the community! ✨
