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 :)

I also need to use the player's replay button to replay slides set to Resume Saved State. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to use the replay button in the player instead of having to create a custom button that replays the slide.

Also, please allow us to select the seek bar and replay button separately. I don't always want to show both, especially if the reply button doesn't always work.

I did submit a feature request.

Basically, all the button needs is a special "replay trigger" that replays the slide, regardless if it was set to "Resume Saved State" or "Restore Initial State".

Without being told to "do it yourself", how hard can it be?

It's like how the Previous Slide trigger only goes back to the last seen slide, and not the previous slide in the scene's chronological order. If the Next Slide works as intended, the Previous Slide trigger should do the same in reverse. Right now, your learners can screw up the navigation if they ever use the menu.

Agree we just ran into this with another client (it has also happened in the past). Please make the replay button replay the slide. It doesn't have to change any states or variables, or anything - just replay the slide.

This is a frustrating issue because as you know, users are accustomed to having that functionality. When it does not work as they anticipate it to, it causes frustration on the part of the user, and on the part of the developer who has tried to ensure a good user experience. Please start making long standing issues like this a priority to correct. This should be addressed and quickly.

Hi Daniel,

Still no changes to this behavior, which is detailed in this article. I've added your voice to the open Feature Request that we have for the improvement of this feature. Here's a quick look at how we manage feature requests for your reference.

  I would also like to add my vote to adding this feature, the way it is designed now can be confusing to learners since when you pause the timeline in the middle of the audio because you missed something, you can't replay the part you missed, it just starts from where it was paused and now the audio is out of sync with the rest of the slide interactions.

  Morning Joe,
  
  Can you please explain to me why this needs to be submitted as a feature request when it is clearly a bug in the software? Its crazy to think this has been going on for so long.
  
  Can you also explain why rolling out new features is a higher priority to fixing known software bugs?
  
  Thanks

Hello! Any updates on this? This was posted over 6 years ago, and it's still the same until now. Have we found a workaround for this or have the developers fixed it now?

The issue is that we don't have a "Replay" trigger, and everything is tied to the slide's state.

Logically speaking, a Replay button should replay the slide regardless of whether you want to "reset the initial state" or "keep the saved state".

It's like how the Next trigger automatically follows the slides' order, while the Previous trigger follows the last visited slide, and not in the order. There's no logic...

I fully agree!! This feature needs to be addressed and updated ASAP!! The "replay/rewind" button should function as that - and not be dependent on the slide property....!! I really hope Articulate addresses this soon - you can see all the posts on this issue from years ago!!!

This helped. I just needed to set the slide state to reset to initial state. Appreciate the help!

Please can someone from Articulate advise why this isn't on the roadmap, despite being talked about for over 6 years?

  I am wondering the same thing.
  People have been asking for this feature and another one (importing a video with an alpha channel eg.mov into Storyline) for over 7 years now. No one in Articulate is paying attention to us.
  Those two features should be already available to 360, but I would be happy if they were just added to the roadmap.
  
  What do people have to do to Articulate see what we need?
  From today, I will send a request https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request every single day to see if they at least consider doing anything.

    Hey Andreia,
    
    Did you actually start submitting a Feature Request everyday?
    
    Kind regards,
