I have made a pick one interaction similar to the file attached and have set the "when revisiting: reset to initial state". However, when I leave the slide and then return via the previous button or the menu list, it's isn't resetting and is marking correct answers as wrong. Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?
It is resetting the slide, it just isn't resetting the variable because you haven't created a trigger to do so. You just need to add a trigger 'when timeline starts' that tells the variable to equal a value of zero.
Yes, if you have more than one variable, you'd need a trigger to reset each variable. You can duplicate the existing trigger and just chance which variable it's associated with.
Hi Ashley, I was searching for an issue I am having where I have objectives show up one at a time, the next button is hidden until they see the fourth objective. Like this quiz issue above, I set my slide to reset to initial state, but it is not working when I press the previous button. So I tried saved state and auto decide. So I am thinking because I have a variable about Objective 4 being true, to reset do I have to do something else. I am not sure how I would create the trigger to reset the variable, I think that is new to me. I have attached my file, look at slide 1.3 Objectives. Thanks
Are you looking for the slide to reset or to keep the next button on a revisit?
Even though you've set the slide to reset, the variable value will remain from slide to slide (part of the joy of variables - you can use them throughout!). Since the value has changed on your layer, it's not going to change again and your trigger is looking for just that "When Objective3Layer changes" so that's why your slide next button is not appearing the second time.
Could you assist me on what the exact steps are for me to make it work. I still struggle with variables and the logic behind them, I am getting better but...when you have a moment.

Oh, and you need to add similar triggers to reset your other variables to their initial values as well (reset each of the oval variables to false).
Of course! Thank you!
Hi Linda! Looks like Josh was able to take care of you here
Thanks Josh!
Hi.. Sorry.. Newbie.. Does this mean if I have more than 3 variables on 1 slide then I have to create 3 triggers? Thanks.

Hi Teresa,
If I understand what you're wanting, one more trigger will do the trick:
This will allow the Next button to still be present on the slide when returning via the Previous button.
Your updated file is attached.
Thanks so much Leslie! Appreciate you taking the time! :) I will check it out ;)
