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?
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.
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for sharing the file here - and I see the behavior you're referring to, and my first thought is if there is a reason you're not using the built in "try again" option? You could set that up to allow the user to have as many attempts as you'd like and it would automatically bring them back to this slide to retry.

DUH! Wow, Ashley, thanks for that. Of course, it was an obvious solution. I simply hadn't noticed the attempts field before! I was so focused on finding a solution using triggers.
Thanks for your help. Problem solved.
Hi Nathan,
You can always ask as many questions as you want. :-)
For that one, I'd look at using a variable on the "name box" layer - and then adjusting your trigger to show the layer based on the condition of the variable. So for example, on the "name box" layer - set up a variable and trigger to adjust the value of "nameboxcomplete" from initial value of false to true when the layer starts or the user clicks continue (just make sure that is before the hide layer trigger). Then change the trigger on your base layer to show the layer "name box" when the timeline starts if the variable "nameboxcomplete" is equal to False. That way the user would only see it the first time through.

I think I understand what you're running into, but hard to troubleshoot without seeing your quiz. Any chance you can share the .story file?

Thanks for being willing to help out!
I am working on a pilot orientation course, trying to show off as many features as possible of Storyline.Quizzes on 3.2 and 5.2 appear to work fine
Quizzes on 2.2 and 4.2 won't reset after failing and clicking "Try Again"
As I say, the only difference I can see between the slides is that the type of quiz is different.
Hope you spot something the problem!

May I be cheeky and ask one more question from the same project?
On the menu (1.3) I have a slide layer pop up. It's kind of an instruction window. I only want it to appear once. Currently, you see the layer every time you return to menu. - NathanGreenerCommunity Member
Brilliant! Absolute magic. Thank you Ashley, I'll be a Storyline mastermind in no time!
You definitely will be! Storyline has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get beyond that - you can do almost anything with it. :-)
Just let us know if you need anything else!

Hi,
I have the same problem here and I don't have a solution.
What I'm doing is to set the quiz as Reset to Initial State and on Try Again button, I reload the quiz.
This method is working but during on Review Quiz, the quiz doesn't display what I've answered and it all reset.Any Solution for this?
Thanks and regards,
