Create a button to reset the slide?
Is there a way to create a button the learner can click that will reset a slide to its original state? I'd like to create such a button and label it "Reset Slide."
I know I can change the Properties when revisiting the slide to "reset to initial state," but I wanted to have the button right on the slide so learners don't have to do the PREV and NEXT thing to reset.
Thanks.

You can accomplish this by adding the reset button with a trigger to jump to the same slide and having the properties set to "reset to initial state".

Hi Norma,
Leave 'set to original state' on your slide.
Add a trigger that calls the same slide again. in that wy no prev/next and the slide is reset

Thanks, Josh and Geert, for the quick reply. That's all I needed!
Awesome Norma! Glad you were able to get some assistance here. Just let us know if you need anything further.

Further to this discussion, I have created a menu where the books disappear from a shelf which means I am required to set the slide to resume saved state. One all the books are gone, i'd like a button to come up that triggers the slide to be reset, ie have all the books come back onto the shelf. Is this possible?

Marcel,
You can do this with triggers that change the state of the books to hidden. The reset button could change all the hidden states back to visible (normal state).
You could use a conditional trigger that changes the reset button to visible (normal) IF all the individual book images are in the hidden state. I've attached a simple example.
Hi Marcel! Looks like I missed your post somehow, but glad that Josh popped in here to assist you
Thanks Josh!

With the slide set to "reset to initial state", every time the slide is revisited it will reset to its original state. I know everyone says to program another button to jump the same slide or some such nonsense, that's only necessary if the seek bar is hidden [because the pause and replay buttons are part of the seek bar]. But if the seek bar is not hidden and you have the replay button available, click the replay button and the slide will automatically reset each time; again, with the slide set to "reset to initial state". If you want to program/add a nifty button for fun, go right ahead, but it's not necessary. Cheers
Thanks Bruce for sharing that here!

I have an instance where there are 4 chapters with questions in them. if they get more than 3 wrong they have to restart the current chapter they are in.
While in the chapter there is a back button where they can go backwards and review the feedback of the questions right or wrong.
So I want the questions in that chapter set to saved state.
However if they fail and the chapter restarts i want the slides set back to initial state to re answer the questions.
is there a function or trigger that can reset that chapter's slides to initial state when they fail and the chapter starts?
First time posting,
Thank you
Robert
