Hi. A client has come back to me to note that the replay button on the right side of the seekbar doesn't work. I've checked it on both the Flash and HTML5 versions. I also can't find any triggers that specify the replay button, when pushed, should replay the audio for the slide. Can you help?

This seems to be a feature/issue that should be resolved in the software and not addressed by workarounds. It's a Rewind button. It should work like a Rewind button found in any other UI learners and developers are accustomed to interacting with. Maybe it's matter of making this the normal behavior as a default and adding controls to allow a developer to alter if necessary but not required to create familiar, and well designed from a usability standpoint, learning experiences. Additionally, I would highly suggest the seek bar and rewind button be unlinked in terms of showing or not showing controls. Although related functions, these should be available independent of each other in the controls.

I add my vote here. A rewind button should rewind no matter how the slide is designed. You click, it goes back to the beginning. No thinking should be necessary. For the learners, it just looks like an annoying bug forcing you to drag the seekbar manually. Please, do something to fix that.

Add my vote to this as well. This comes up for us a lot, and it's not easy for us to handle. Our users want it to rewind, or start the slide over. Sometimes it works they way they desire, sometimes it doesn't...that's frustrating for everyone. We need to be able to have separate control over the "when revisiting" and the function of the replay button. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with Jason and Jessica and dealing with this issue now as well. The rewind/replay button should be independent of BOTH the seekbar and the "when revisiting" setting. This causes some significant workaround needs.

I too would like a replay button independent from the seek bar and matching the Previous-Next buttons :)

For anyone using the modern player, you can hide the rewind/replay/reset button using javascript for any slides that you need to have the "Resume saved state" property enabled.

Set a trigger that Executes the following javascript when the timeline starts on any slide you want to hide the button.

document.querySelector('#reset').style.display = 'none';

Doing it this way currently doesn't require you to manually re-show the button on subsequent slides.

Ideally, we wouldn't have to do it this way because it's a flimsy workaround, so add me down as another vote for making this work as end users of the software and end users of the published files expect a rewind/replay/reset button to work.

Surprised the rewind still is not working like "rewind".

Stuff like this really has me scratching my head with Articulate. Why have a button that that has a hover state and looks like a button if you can't click it and actually have it restart the timeline. I do like the simplicity of the software, but more control over individual elements would really make this software sing. I swear this worked in earlier versions of the software, why change it to how it logically would function?

Ok, this is a little more than annoying was wondering why the button was non functional in the player, had to look up the question and was surprised to see it tied to the revisiting states. This should really be addressed, all other player buttons are not tied to a replay state it does not make sense to pin the rewind button to one either.

Adding my vote for the Replay/Rewind button to either work properly OR for the option to hide the button when a course requires "Resume saved state" to be the norm when revisiting a slide.

I add my vote. It should not take this long to figure out a replay button.

This is a very old conversation - but the issue is still there. Do you have an update? It would be great to be able to remove the replay button from the seekbar - or else the replay button should replay the whole slide.

I hate to be cynical but don't hold your breath. Clamoring for this has gone on for over 4 years !
