Modifications to the Quiz and Review

Apr 26, 2023

I am trying to modify the quiz and review screens on my course developed in Articulate Storyline. Total newbie here. Please help with the below queries:

I had set up a custom submit button on my question screens since I didn't quite like the tick mark appearing on my quiz player for the submit functionality. Is there a way to change the look of the default Submit tick mark?
This customized submit button displays when I am reviewing the quiz. Is there a way to prevent it from being shown during review? I would like to use the default < and > to navigate through questions while reviewing.
I have added a static intro screen at the start of my quiz with an audio clip that says something like "Congratulations! You have reached the end of this course. Now answer these questions..." I have kept this on "Always display". But this screen shows when I am reviewing the quiz. Is there a way to:
1. Prevent this screen from showing when I review the quiz?
2. Any other way to have an intro to the quiz without this customized screen?

Looking forward to learning more and more in the coming days. Please help.

Thanks

1. You can't change the look of the checkmark icon used for the SUBMIT button in the Player. However, you can adjust the Player settings to show the text and the icon.

Note that this also applies to the PREV and NEXT buttons. And the button names won't show when viewed on phones, due to the limited space.

2. To hide your custom Submit button during a review, you'll need to get comfortable with variables and conditions.

Create a T/F variable. This will be used to track whether the learner is taking the quiz (variable = False) or reviewing the quiz (variable=True). Set the default value to False.
On the Results slide, add a trigger to the Review Quiz button. This trigger should adjust the value of the variable to True. Be sure to move the trigger up, so it appears before the trigger that jumps to another slide.
On the Results slide, add a trigger to the Retry Quiz button. This trigger should adjust the value of the variable to False. Be sure to move the trigger up, so it appears before the trigger that jumps to another slide.
On every question slide, add two triggers.
- One trigger should change the state of the Submit button to Normal when the timeline starts with the condition that the variable = False.
- The other trigger should change the Submit button to Hidden with the condition that the variable = True.

Here's the User Guide info about conditions and variables:

3. The Review Quiz button should automatically jump to the first question in the quiz.

In older versions of Storyline, you had to indicate the slide to jump to with the Review trigger. If that's what you see in your file, then edit the trigger as needed so it jumps to the first question slide instead of the intro slide.
If you don't see that option, yet your Review Results trigger is jumping to the intro slide instead of the first question slide, I suggest you submit the case directly to the Articulate staff. You can do that here: Articulate - Submit a Case

Thanks a lot, Judy! Appreciate your advice and support.

I figured out the last item by just removing the intro slide from the quiz and adding it as a regular slide in the course so that once the learner completes the last content slide, they will click Next to go to the Intro slide and then onto the quiz. This way when they review the quiz, it takes them directly to the questions and not the intro.

As for the custom Submit, I removed it since it looked a bit clunky. Shall try the icon and text for the default submit tick mark. wish we had a way to modify it though. :/

Thanks again for your patience! :)
