Replay Button on Seekbar Not Working

Here is something worth knowing: how does the embed Reload button work in SL's player?

Right now, we currently need to 1) set to slide to "reset to initial state" and 2) add a trigger that "go to [that same] slide", if we want a custom Reload button.

However, how does the player's Reload button work? We know that it only works if the slide is set to "reset to initial state", but what else does the button do?

Hello Jean-Christophe,

In some cases, you may notice that the Rewind button at the right end of the seekbar doesn't actually start the slide over from the beginning.

The behavior of the Rewind button is determined by the “When revisiting” property for each slide. There are three options to choose from:

• Automatically decide: This is the default option, and it means Storyline will decide automatically whether to rewind the slide or not. Here's the logic: If the slide contains just simple objects and audio but no interactivity, Storyline will rewind the slide to the beginning of the slide’s timeline. However, if the slide contains any interactive elements, such as buttons or any other object that includes a visited/selected state, Storyline won't rewind the slide.
• Resume saved state: This option will always prevent the slide from rewinding.
• Reset to initial state: This option will always force the slide to rewind.

I would like to add my vote in to this as well. I'm working with a customer who wants to be able to rewind the slide without it resetting everything on the slide.

Hi Charley!

Consider it done! We'll keep you informed in this discussion when we hear of an update!

Seems like this has been an issue for awhile now. How long do you track until  there is actually movement on a feature request? I'm pretty frustrated by this. Either I get rid of the seekbar on my slide (my client wants a seekbar!) or I have a non-functional replay button on the player which then looks like an error or bug to users. Not good.

Please add my vote to this feature request. The rewind button should indeed rewind regardless of the desired revisit behavior. This is a pretty significant issue.

Hi Michelle and Nadia,

Thanks for chiming in to share your thoughts as well.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests since you asked.

This conversation is linked to the request so that we can pop in and share any updates with you here.

Has this been addressed at all yet? My client has just addressed this as an issue. The only way to rewind is by dragging the seekbar which is not really inuitive to the user.

Hi S,

Thanks for reaching out and following up on this request! No updates yet, but I'll be sure to add your voice to the report and update everyone on any progress that's made.

Has this issue been tackled (SL 3). Learners should be able to replay the audio if desired. I can't get to operate properly in 'Preview' or 'Published' modes.
