Resume timeline from certain point in Storyline

Feb 11, 2021

Hello!

I'd like to know if is possibile to resume a slide from the exact point of the timeline the user is when closing the course, whatever it is.

I'm talking about slides containing videos, so is important to resume exactly from where they leave the course.

Thank you all!

Hi, Giulia!

Thank you for reaching out! When a learner exits a slide that has a video on it, the default resume behavior is that the slide will reset to the beginning of the video. The only way to save the progress is by going to the next slide. However, there is a workaround that should work for what you need. It's explained in detail here, but the basic idea is this:

  1. Change the player's behavior so it returns the learner to where they left off.
  2. Create a "Save" button on the same slide as the video. That button should take them to another slide, which will save their progress if they close the course.

Let me know if you have any questions on those steps!
