Prevent content from re-playing when returning to a slide
Are there best practices to recommend to prevent content - both interactive and audio - from re-playing after it's already played once?
A scenario I'm envisioning is returning to a menu screen after viewing an item on that menu, or whatever reason.
Maybe the pseudo-code would be:
play slide contents once when Learner first visits page;
do not replay content when Learner visits page again.
Can pages have states? Can there be a "play" state and a "just sit there" state?
Thank you!
The Slide Properties include a "When revisiting" setting. If you set that to "Resume saved state, content on the slide that has already played will not replay. (Layers have their own "When revisiting" setting.)
For details, refer to the User Guide article about Slide Properties.
Note: A“when timeline starts” triggers runs every time the user reaches the slide—even if the Slide Properties are set to “Resume saved state.” If you don’t want such a trigger to run in some situations, you need to add conditions to the trigger. For example, the conditions could check whether the state of buttons on the slide = Visited. Or a condition could check whether a T/F variable = True.

Crystal clear and beautifully explained!
