Clearing "Resume where you left off"

Hi Phil,

I'm inferring from your post that it is the Player that presents the "Resume where you left off?" question. Is that right?

If that's so, then a trigger at runtime to check whether or not to present that question is not going to work, but perhaps a trigger at the end of the course that clears the resume data could work, so that when the course loads next year, the player no longer thinks there is a reason to ask the "Resume?" question.

But I still would need to know how to clear the resume data. Jürgen's post suggests it's stored in local storage as the value of a particular Key. Is there a way to change either the key itself or its value via a trigger? Jürgen seems to be saying "no." Yet when the course is updated and republished, that does somehow change the Key.

If it's truly not possible to clear or change the criteria for when the "Resume?" prompt appears, it could be a feature request for Articulate. Maybe we could have a setting in the Player menu that sets a time limit for the "Resume?" question--if the course was last attempted within the specified time, the "Resume?" prompt is active; if the course was last launched longer ago than the specified time, then the "Resume?" prompt is turned off and the course begins at the start again.
