We originally launched our courses with the "prompt to resume" feature turned on, but now we need to disable it. For varying reasons we would really only like to change the file where this information/choice gets outputted from Storyline, and not the course as a whole. Can you anyone tell me where this information/data gets output and in what file...ex: is it wrapped into the story.swf, or in the configuration.js, or one of the XML files?
It is a cookie stored on the users machine, or in the LMS via javascript. You cannot turn it off in the published course but would need to republish and switch off in the player options.
I have turned off the resume functionality, republished and uploaded the files to my server, cleared my browser cache and I still get asked if I want to resume where I left off. I have set each layer to "Reset to initial state when revisiting" as well. What am I missing?
Without seeing your file or knowing more about where you're hosting it - it's difficult to say. Did you test in another browser as well to confirm that clearing the browser cache worked as expected for this new version you've uploaded? Also this thread is a bit older, so I'd want to know more about what update and version of Storyline you're using to publish the project.
If you'd like to share your file with us here you're more than welcome, and you can use the "Add Attachment" button at the bottom of the reply to upload it here for our team and community to take a look at. If you'd prefer to keep it private you may want to upload to our Support Engineers here.

Hi Sean,
Here are the directions on where/how to change the resume behavior within the .story file.
Hi, Sean. I just asked a similar question. Where you able to find a way to change this setting without republishing? Thanks!
Hi Erich,
I'm not sure that Sean is still subscribed, so you may want to use the "contact me" feature on his profile to reach out to him directly.
