Reset to Initial State with Button for Drag and Drop
Jul 25, 2017
I have a confusing issue. I have created a free form drag and drop and need the option to reset to initial state if the learning selects a button on the correct/incorrect slide layer. However here is the difficult part of it. As a part of this interaction I am already revisiting the once. Here is the layout:
1. user drags and drops item on the target on Base Layer.
2. last item the user is asked to click on a button which jumps to layer A.
3. user completes task on layer A and clicks on button to return to Base Layer in saved state. User then completes more tasks and then submits.
4. interaction links user to layer B (correct) or layer C (incorrect). I would like a button here to send them back to the Base Layer and reset the interaction.
Can this be done?

If you have the trigger jump to the same slide and have the settings to resume initial state, it should do what you are looking for.
Unfortunately there is movement I want to capture on the Base slide that I want the user to come back to so thus i have the slide as resume saved state.

I don't quite follow. In point 4 you say you want to reset the interaction (base layer) but now you're saying you need to resume some of the interaction?
Are you able to share an example?
It does sound quite complicated... From what I can gather there must be parts of the interaction that require going back to the base layer using a saved state, but then at other certain parts, perhaps after a combination of wrong answers, etc., he needs to be able to reset the interaction from the beginning.
Going back to the base layer (hide layer) is not the same as leaving the slide. Tristan's suggestion should work for you.
Set the slide "When revisiting" property to "Reset to initial state" and have your button "Jump to slide" with the target slide being itself. This has the effect of leaving and returning to the slide with the slide reset to its initial state, clearing all of the user's prior actions.
For everything else performed on the slide layers, simply hide layers to return to the base without leaving the slide.
That actually worked. What I was doing wrong was jumping back to the slide from the layer instead of hiding the layer. Thank you everyone!

Glad it worked out for you.
