Hi. A client has come back to me to note that the replay button on the right side of the seekbar doesn't work. I've checked it on both the Flash and HTML5 versions. I also can't find any triggers that specify the replay button, when pushed, should replay the audio for the slide. Can you help?
I have audio on my SL360 files and they are set to reset to initial state - when the rewind button is selected it replays the audio - is there some else in your files that may be causing an issue?
Well reset to initial state won't work if I have interactivity on the slide as well. Which I do. I've been down that road earlier today. Thanks again, Wendy.
Adding my vote to this as well. I deal with people who take things literally and won't accept anything other than 'It's working' or 'it isn't'. They don't care about reasons why, 'a replay button needs to replay' is what they will tell me.... fingers crossed.
Adding my vote too. This seems to have been around for a while now but has still not been addressed. Seems crazy to show the button if it does not work!
I'm guessing this isn't an easy fix for the developers since it has been years since I first had this problem and it still works EXACTLY the same way. Or more to the point, doesn't work. Please, if you aren't able to fix this, make it so that the replay button either doesn't show up or can manually be removed. Trying to explain to clients why the button doesn't work and why we can't get rid of it without also getting rid of the seekbar is just embarrassing.
And btw, I've tried the javascrip that someone in this thread and another thread have mentioned, and it doesn't work, at least in the latest version of Storyline.
Thanks for you input. I got around this issue somehow, I made sure all layers were the same length, I didn't change any settings and where I can, I put arrows to ask if the learner wants to review the material again.
Thank you for inquiring about this feature request to add more functionality to the Rewind button! While I don't have an update to share at this time, we are tracking this request. I will be sure to share the additional votes/comments with our team. You can also find more details about our process here.
As soon as we have an update to share, we will be sure to reach out!
The replay/rewind button is not accessible when tabbing through the player elements. It goes to the seekbar as a whole allowing play/pause when selected, then the volume button, but does not select the replay button.. making it inaccessible to keyboard users. Any insight?
Adding my vote for this... why put a rewind button if you can't rewind...? Customer wants to revisit slide and have the option to replay it... but can't. It's a dead end.
Literally have a flat slide (no layers) that won't rewind if it's set to 'resume saved state'.
Adding my vote as well. UX Feedback on my newest course brought up that some slides could rewind and others could not. I'm having to go slide by slide by slide now in testing mode to see which ones do rewind and which do not to now adjust the revisiting settings on each slide. This is a waste of time. Rewind should be the default, and we should be able to customize the rewind for specific slides if necessary (not the other way around).
We're still monitoring requests for a rewind functionality. I appreciate everyone contributing and will make sure our report is up-to-date with the latest votes!

My "reset to initial state" does not work. In the same dialog box, I checked off "Pause timeline"
My slide did not play the audio again. Now I have to add more variables.
Hi Norma
Which version /update of SL are you using
Wendy - Storyline 360. It's been an Articulate Support day all day as i've had other issues, too.
I have audio on my SL360 files and they are set to reset to initial state - when the rewind button is selected it replays the audio - is there some else in your files that may be causing an issue?

Add my vote, too, please. This should be intuitive for the user.

Hello, the js still work dude, just execute it when timeline start, it can buggy if you have another slides without the js. Btw the bast way is to:
go in your published zip file >html5 >data >js > frame.js(open with notepad) find "replay":true change to false
Owen Holt has created new code that works in the latest version. I've tried it and it works perfectly!
To hide the reset from the bar:
document.getElementById('reset').style.visibility = "hidden";
To show the reset:
document.getElementById('reset').style.visibility = "visible";
Thread that Owen updated the code: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/delete-or-hide-refresh-icon-only-but-keep-seekbar
Though I think Owen said that the code works in Classic player, not Modern...
I just submitted a feature request for this. Thank you.
Folks, was this ever fixed?

If the button cannot work separately, then it should (at least) be able to be turned on or off separately.

Are we any closer to getting the rewind button un-linked???? I would like to add my vote and 10 more from my development team...
Thanks for checking in, folks!
