Reset to initial state (when prevent users clicking other layers disabled)

Nov 17, 2023

How i can reset full slide to the base, from another layer by clicking repeat button on seekbar player menu, but also i need that layer have property Prevent users from clicking other layers. I just need to freeze items when changing from base layer and then have a possibility to refresh slide by clicking repeat button on menu player. Now I have reset to initial state + prevent... but it only refreshes current layer, not all slide.

Hello Wit!

I'm happy to help! I wouldn't say this is what the repeat button is intended for on the player. Instead, I would recommend creating a custom button with variables for this functionality.

It sounds like you're looking for a way to reset a slide to the base layer from another slide layer. For example, if you're on Slide 2's layer, you would like to control the base layer of Slide 1. Is that correct?

I think I have created a starting point for what you're looking to do. I've recorded a quick Peek to explain the setup and attached the .story file to this discussion. Please let me know if I am off base!

Actually it is not the point, I don't getting one thing. Layers have their properties, when base layer have property on revisiting - reset to initial state, and other layers is configured by default, when i clicking the repeat button being on the 2 layer of slide, it refreshes whole slide and it works for my task correctly, but I also need a one more property for layer, behavior property - Prevent users from clicking other layers (it sounds like this), this property helps for me to freeze selected items from base layer, but when this property is chosen,  hitting the repeat button is doing something like "refresh", but only of current layer and not backing me up to the base.
