How to Reset Quiz After Clicking Try Again
I have a few different quizzes in my course, they are all set up the same:
When the Incorrect slide layer appears, I have renamed the Continue button to "Try Again". The trigger is set to jump to the same quiz slide. Under properties, the base layer and slide layers have been set to "Reset to initial state" when revisiting.
The Multiple Choice quiz and Word Drag and Drop quiz work fine; meanwhile, the Matching Drag and Drop, and Sequence Drag and Drop freeze up and don't reset - you simply can't move any of the parts.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I might do to troubleshoot/fix?

This is an old thread, but I have a similar question (I'm using Storyline 2):
In a drag'n'drop quiz, I want to give the user a couple of extra attempts. That largely works - but the drag items remain on their drop destination when retrying, where I'd prefer them to be back where they started, so the retry is a fully fresh start.
It looks like that option has been there (see response from "rex mor"), but I can't find it. Any clues?
Hi Henrik! It sounds like you're looking for the "When Revisiting" setting--you can find that in the Slide Properties window.
Also, be sure this trigger is on your Try Again layer:
- Jump to slide [current slide] when user clicks the Continue button.

Hello,
I am having a similar issue and cannot figure out how to resolve it.
I have a quiz scene with 3 questions. The user can access the quiz scene from the main menu.
The user can go through the quiz just fine with several attempts to get the answer correct. On the results slide the user is given their Results and an option to do one of the following:
Option 1 - Retry Quiz: This would take them back to the beginning several times without issue. All answers reset themselves without issue and the score also resets itself without issue.
Option 2 - Review Content: This button would take the use back to the content to review from a different scene external from the quiz.
Option 3 - Go Home: This just returns the user to the main page to end the course.
The issues I am having are with Options 2 and 3. If a user clicks outside of the quiz to review content or go back to the main menu they will run into an issue if they try to then navigate back to the quiz again to retake. What happens is, the user clicks on Option 2 or 3 and on the main menu, clicks Take Quiz. Once the quiz is started all the previous answers are frozen and the next/back buttons are present at the bottom of the screen. It is almost like the user is able to review the previous answers and click through this until we get back the results slide. At the results slide, you then click Retry Quiz and the quiz magically resets.
I need to make the QUIZ cleared for retrying the quiz no matter if the user clicks Retry Quiz or if the user clicks the Take Quiz button from the main menu scene.
Can anyone assist?

My file:
I added in the
"Reset to Initial State" Slide properties on each quiz slide and also added the trigger suggested by Nancy in this thread but now that I added the trigger, my slide contents now disappear.

Thank you so much
Hi Tamara!
The Reset Results trigger will automatically reset the quiz questions, and you won't need to use the "Reset to Initial State" setting in Slide Properties.
Add the Reset Results trigger to any button or slide that the learner will visit just before retaking the quiz, and that should do the trick. However, keep in mind that you don't want to reset the quiz results unless you're sure the learner wants to retake the quiz. Otherwise, the learner's score will be 0% in the LMS.

How do I set it up so that after SUBMIT, users can Continue with the quiez (no re-set but continue)?
I have drag-and-drop. I have SUBMIT button. If user does NOT drag all items to correct place AND then user click SUBMIT - I want the system to say' continue' AND go back to the quiz, allowing user to continue.
I have all that set, but what happens is when user goes back to continue try, the system freezes, and user cannot continue drag and drop.
Storyline version 3.
Attached file.
Hi Gil,
Thanks for sharing your file - but I'm not sure this is the right one.
I tested it and noted that:
- There is no try again layer, even though you have set it up for 3 attempts. That layer is automatically created when you add a try again layer and will bring you back to the slide (although the design is not to reset the slide so that the user can see how they previously answered and modify)
- I saw that the drag items were set up to snap back to the start if dropped incorrectly, so I can never see your "Incorrect layer" to try again.
I was able to successfully drag all items and then see it noted as correct.
So let me know if you can double check the file you shared, and happy to take another look at it.

Hi everyone,
I've been digging through threads trying to find an answer to my question--this thread seems to get the closest to solving my issue, but not quite. I have a drag and drop quiz. Students get three attempts. When they click "try again" I need the drag items to reset to their initial state. When I set up the layer to "reset to initial state" when revisited, the drag items do just that. However, this also resets the number of attempts the students have used, therefore giving them unlimited attempts rather than three. How do I resolve this issue? Thank you!

Ashley, thank you. Is it easy to amend it? Will you be in a positing to add those required layers for me, on my file, so I can see how it was don?
Best wishes,
Gil
