I'm developing a branching scenario, where the user goes down a path of many options. This path will turn their selected buttons to visited and a different color, so they know they have been there. I need to leave the state of all these buttons in tact for their audit trail, until they choose to hit the Home button, which will return them to the start screen and reset all the selected buttons to their initial state.
My problem is, I can't find a way to do this reset to initial state across multiple base and slide layers.
As always any help provided is very much appreciated.
I have multiple base layer slides and layers within, which will show the
operator their direction. I don't want to reset these if they check the
direction they went. This provides an audit trail of selections for later
analysis. But when they select the Home button, which takes them to the
first scene slide to start again I want all states on all base layers and
slide layers to be reset to initial state.
I hope this makes sense.
As mentioned in my earlier reply unfortunately this did not solve my problem. Please see my clarified reply. Do you have any other suggestions on how to do this?
Would it be possible for you to share what you have so far?
It will be easier for some of our community members, who are designing courses daily, to give you a better solution than I can, especially if they can see the .story file with your vision.
Based on your description, I'd look into True/False variables that are checked on each slide, but you would need to reset each of them once the Home button is clicked.
It was my fault that the restart interaction button didn't work.
The problem was that I had a "Jump to slide" interaction conflicting with the "Restart course" interaction. I removed the "Jump to slide" and all is ok now.

Hi, Adam.
Thank you for reaching out!
I'm looking forward to the suggestions you will receive from our talented community members! In the meantime, I wanted to share some initial thoughts.
If everything happens in one slide (with different layers), then you can set the revisiting properties to Reset to initial state:
You can add a trigger to the Home button to jump to the same slide, which will reset all the states:
I hope this helps!

Hi Maria
Thank you for your reply.
I have discussed this with the client and they are happy for me to share this with you. I just need to make some changes and then I can share.
Thank you

Sounds great, Adam.
If you cannot share here in the forums, you can always share here privately and work directly with a support engineer.
Hi Leslie
I will certainly share, just waiting on the ok from the company to do so.
Again thank you for your help.

Hi Leslie and Maria
Sorry for the delay in replying.
I found the issue and I would like to share.
