Looking for ideas for Navigation Help menu tab
I'm primarily looking for a workaround, but am also low-key wondering if I've run into a bug (or two) or if this is intended functionality. We've added a "navigation help" tab to our elearning cours...
Going back on a slide set to resume, I suspect you had a trigger to jump to the next slide when the media completes; as the media has completed, it jumps straight back.
Automatically decide is one or the other (resume, restart). It uses some rules to decide which one to implement, typically that there is something interactive on the slide.
You can use a slide master layer, which will not stop the video (you can set the layer to pause). I would use the variable to show that layer on any slide as you cannot directly show slide master layers from a slide or the player. You may want to ensure the layer that shows does not hide other layers.

Yes, this feels like a bug to me. Very poor user experience if it's intended functionality.

I suspect you're right about this... It would be good if the rules were expanded to include progress through media, e.g. if someone has viewed 25% or more of a video then it would resume saved state, vs restarting from the beginning.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at this as a potential solution, but I'm triggering the navigation help menu from a player tab and couldn't figure out a way to natively trigger a variable from a custom player tab.
In the end I decided to launch the navigation menu in a lightbox. Not ideal but it resolves all the issues I was experiencing with the other methods.
Again, thanks for the help and suggestions, much appreciated.
