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 :)

Hi Cha, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

This is still an open feature request with our team.

You mention using resume saved state. This option will always prevent the slide from rewinding.

Hello Philippe,

Could you explain a bit more about your wish list?

We do have triggers that can be utilized to both pause and resume the timeline as well as a play/stop button that can be added to the slide at the player level as well.

I would like the replay button to be independent of both the seekbar and the when revisiting setting.

Thanks for the candid feedback, everyone. We're listening and sharing your thoughts with the larger team. If we make changes to the Rewind button in the future, you'll be among the first to know!

  Alyssa,
  
  How can I manually provide rewind capability? The client wants to be able to review the video and I can't set the property to 'reset to initial state'
  
  Thanks

At the least I'd like to control whether the replay button shows up for the end user or not

I'm guessing this isn't an easy fix for the developers since it has been years since I first had this problem and it still works EXACTLY the same way. Or more to the point, doesn't work. Please, if you aren't able to fix this, make it so that the replay button either doesn't show up or can manually be removed. Trying to explain to clients why the button doesn't work and why we can't get rid of it without also getting rid of the seekbar is just embarrassing.

And btw, I've tried the javascrip that someone in this thread and another thread have mentioned, and it doesn't work, at least in the latest version of Storyline.

  Hello, the js still work dude, just execute it when timeline start, it can buggy if you have another slides without the js. Btw the bast way is to:
  
  go in your published zip file >html5 >data >js > frame.js(open with notepad) find "replay":true change to false

Thanks for you input. I got around this issue somehow, I made sure all layers were the same length, I didn't change any settings and where I can, I put arrows to ask if the learner wants to review the material again.

Owen Holt has created new code that works in the latest version. I've tried it and it works perfectly!

To hide the reset from the bar:
document.getElementById('reset').style.visibility = "hidden";

To show the reset:
document.getElementById('reset').style.visibility = "visible";

Thread that Owen updated the code: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/delete-or-hide-refresh-icon-only-but-keep-seekbar

  Though I think Owen said that the code works in Classic player, not Modern...

Adding my vote as well. UX Feedback on my newest course brought up that some slides could rewind and others could not. I'm having to go slide by slide by slide now in testing mode to see which ones do rewind and which do not to now adjust the revisiting settings on each slide. This is a waste of time. Rewind should be the default, and we should be able to customize the rewind for specific slides if necessary (not the other way around).
