try again layer - when setting up a quiz from question bank with 3 attempts

Hello Zoe,

Using the jump to slide, and having the continue button jump back to the initial state on the would probably not work since this will reset the slide, and the 3 attempts will start over.

However this would not work in a question bank, so if you need to use a bank for randomization, the continue button in the try again layer is set up to only hide the layer and allow the user to change their answer. You could add a trigger to "Change the State of" the wrong answer to "normal" when the user clicks the try again button. You would have to add a trigger for each wrong answer, but it may work.

Hi Emily,

Thank you very much for your response. I will try it out to see! Hopefully it works well :D (15 questions is not that much load of work lol)

Thanks :)))

Thanks for the update Zoe, hope this works out for you.

Good morning,

I'm having the same problem detailed her, using a Pick One in a question bank as a multiple drag-and-drop.  The try again doesn't reset the slide when it brings you back to it.  Both the Try Again and Base Slide are set to "reset to initial state"; and all the moving "parts" are set on the Try Again layer to return to normal when that button is pushed.

I'm using the quiz bank as I have 19 different slides that I want to randomize.  I've only included a couple in the attached file as an example.

Any ideas?

Hi Janet,

As Emily mentioned using the "jump to slide" method wont' work within a question bank, and drag and drop slides aren't automatically reset to the initial state on a retry by default so I'll defer to the community on what other methods they've come up with. 

Thanks Ashley,

I've had customer support working on it since this morning since everywhere I've looked in the community no one seems to get a resolution.  I'll post here with an update if they are successful.

Thanks Janet, and I see you've been talking with Cleo and Ryan, and Ryan is taking a look at your file currently. 

FYI, customer support was unable to find a workaround and suggested I put in a feature request.  So if you are in need of questions IN A question BANK that allow more than one try, and will reset to it's original state, you may want to put in a feature request as well.  As of the time of this posting that issue isn't resolved.  The link to put in a feature request is below.

Thanks Janet for sharing that update here and the link for the feature requests. The more the better. ;-)
