Resetting A slide to initial state
May 09, 2014

Hi
I have set up a freeform drag and drop slide, with a try again layer if an incorrect option is dragged.
My issue is that the incorrect option stays in the drop area when they are re-visiting the base slide to try again, which is causing confusion for users.
I have set the option on the base slide to Reset to initial state when revisiting, but this does not seem to register as the slide is never left, only a layer shown then hidden.
Is there a way to reset the base slide after the try again layer is hidden.
Many thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to share a suggestion that I think may work for you.
On the "Try Again" layer, remove the trigger that hides the layer. Add a trigger to the "Try Again" button that jumps to the slide that contains your Drag-and-Drop question. If that slide is set to "reset to initial state" it should load the slide again with the objects in their original positions.
I'm attaching a quick example of this, just in case you want to check it out.
Let me know if you have any trouble with this! :)
Hi Christine
Great suggestion!
I had to duplicate the slide as it has audio at the begining, which I didn't want to play again, but that works perfectly.
Thanks for your help!
