We’re super excited to share the latest- highly requested!- new feature in Storyline 360: the conditional seekbar. Now you can prevent learners from skipping ahead until they've completed content. After that, they have the option to drag the seekbar back and forth.
The conditional seekbar in the modern player makes it easy to ensure that learners view all your content. Take a look at this video to learn more:
Hi there, David! Great questions to help clarify. The conditional seekbar is helpful when you want learners to watch the slide's timeline in its entirety the first time it is visited. After they've viewed the slide, they can scrub through the timeline for reviewing more quickly.
Be sure to check out the option to restrict navigation, as well. When you use restricted or locked navigation, the Next button is disabled until the slide's timeline is finished. Since the seekbar controls the slide's timeline, these two features pair well together!
Love this conversation. I just had a discussion about this with a client and this resolves our concern.
The Modern player is lovely, honestly, but not all users understand non-traditional Previous-Next buttons, so seeing the spelled-out is helpful for those who can't take a hint. :-p
My clients need the flash backup that is why we can't use the modern player. I NEED a workaround for this. It makes no sense to be able to scrub thru the slide but not be able to lock it until have seen the slide.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks so much for that feedback, Alec! I'm glad to hear the icon and text button style option works for your needs.

Hey, Dawn. I'll let our team know that you need the Conditional Seekbar option in the Classic Player. Thanks for reaching out!
