Reset position of objects on drag-and-drop quiz when results are incorrect?
So I figured out how to reset the quiz using these directions https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-2/articles/choosing-the-number-of-attempts-for-graded-questions-in-articulate-storyline-2
However, when it restarts the objects are still in the incorrect dropped position. I even selected the object choices and used the Drag & Drop Options to "Return item to start point if dropped outside any drop target".

Hi Michael!
Thank you so much for attaching your file! It makes troubleshooting a breeze!
I've created a short tutorial explaining the two changes you need to make. You can view that here!
For others who might come across a similar snag, here are the two changes we made:
- First, edit the slide properties by setting the "When Revisiting" setting to "Reset to Initial State".
- Second, edit the setting on the "Try Again" layer to "Jump to Slide" rather than "Hide Layer".
Let me know if you have any questions, Michael!
Awesome! Thank you so much. Makes sense.
Hello - I'm having the same problem so have followed the steps you suggested above, however it keeps giving me unlimited attempts and does not show the incorrect layer after 3 wrong attempts. Resetting to initial state seems to reset the 'attempts' count too.
If anyone has had this problem and has a solution please let me know, thank you!
Hi, Danielle.
Thank you for reaching out!
You are correct: the number of attempts is also reset when using the "reset to initial state" option, making them unlimited. You can fix this by using variables. Here's a discussion with some tips on how to do this.
Another option is to use motion paths to return objects to the start position.
I found a few discussions that should help you with this option:
- Try Again Button does not direct back to beginning of Slide.
- Drag and Drop Solution - Sample with Multiple Correct Targets with drag off and return plus a lot more.
I hope this helps!
