Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the late notice, but I wanted to jump in here to let you know in Storyline 360 Update 47, in addition to keyboard shortcuts to mute/unmute audio, replay the slide, and turn closed captions on/off, learners can also fast forward and rewind a slide's timeline using the arrow keys on the seekbar. You can learn more about accessible player controls here!

In player properties, keep the default setting to Allow user to drag seekbar. To prevent fast forward and rewind, just change the seekbar to Seekbar is read-only.

If you haven't already updated to the latest version, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for Storyline 360. Details here.

    @Ren Gomez - The function you mentioned is nice to force the user to watch the content - but there desperately needs to be an option to then allow a user to scrub through what they already have watched.  Once you've watched something, it should become unlocked - allowing them to easily review content and skip to any timestamp in the video afterwards.
