Storyline Resuming on Previous Slide Not More Current Slide

Jan 24, 2024

Hi y'all. 

I am working on a Storyline training, and after putting it in the LMS I keep noticing that, at times, once I pass a specific slide in my training (even if I am in a scene after it) and I close my training and click resume to continue with the training, the training resumes at that particular slide I have already visited. It does not resume where I left off.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions with this issue. Thank you.

The data that Storyline needs to resume a course is stored in the LMS. 

It sounds like your course exceeds the LMS's limit for suspend/resume data. When that happens, Storyline saves as much data as is allowed, and resumes a course based on that. The result? A user resumes the course at an earlier slide than where they were before.

If you published the course for SCORM 1.2, that's likely the problem, because it has a very low limit. Talk with your LMS folks about using SCORM 2004, edition 3 or 4.
