Replay a slide (button)
Is there a way of replaying a slide without having to enable the Seekbar?
How about having the play/pause button AND the replay/restart button?
My slides have text boxes that appear and use a clickable Chevron to display the next text box and so on. I've had to pause the timeline in order for this to work. This is just messing up the seekbar and the play/pause button because I want the person to be able to 'reset' or restart a slide.
Feature enhancement suggestion: an option to not have to work with a timeline.

Hi Tom,
You could look at building a custom button with a "jump to slide this slide" trigger to have the slide reload. You'll want to test out any interactivity you have there and your slide properties to make sure this meets your needs.
Also, thanks for all the ideas on how you'd like to modify the seekbar features and get rid of a timeline altogether. I'd love to have more details about what you would like to see regarding this setup if you're up for logging a feature request.
Hi,
what to do if there is no option "this slide" in the "jump to slide" trigger?
Was this feature removed?
Thank you in advance
Hi there, Piotr! You should still see "this slide" in those options. Can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing? Also, what kind of slide is it?
Hi,
I enclose a screenshot. I am preparing template using master slide.
Thanks, Piotr. I understand now. Triggers have to point to a specific slide, even if it's the same slide. This confusion is our fault for implying there is the actual text "this slide" in the trigger options. Sorry about that! Since this trigger will be different on every slide, you'll have to edit it on every slide.
Thank you Crystal for your reply :)
I thought it is possible to insert replay button as a template.
Hi Piotr,
You can easily add that button to each slide but you'll still need to update the triggers as Crystal mentioned. Based on that, it's not a good candidate to include on a slide master.
When I add an icon with the trigger 'jump to slide', and choose 'this slide', the slide does not replay as it played originally - any ideas?
Ensure slide is set to reset to initial state and any variables that might change are reset

Thank you for your rapid response Phil - I was just coming to that realization when I saw your reply ;o)
Works perfectly now... 😀
Tried this and it works nicely as long as I am on the base layer. However how can I recreate the reload button on a layer?
When I am on a layer and have the button to 'Jump to this slide" it does not start on the layer but starts on the base layer. I tried adding a second trigger afterwards to show the layer but it does not work, seems to ignore it. Ok I could probably do something where it saves the layer I was on in a variable and then whenever the slide is reloaded it would poll that variable and load the right layer but that is lots of work with potential for chaos.
I'm trying to do the same. I want a reply slide button on every slide. If I add a trigger on an individual slide and select jump to this slide, the slide replays. However, if I try to add a trigger on a master slide, the option for "this slide" doesn't exist. How does storyline not know what the current slide is, when it know the previous and next slides?
I want to avoid having the same trigger on all slides. Is there another way to be able to replay the current slide using a trigger on a master slide?
hi, I want a reply slide button on every slide. do you share story line for that.
Tank you
