Replay Button on the Seekbar

Can I change the text label of the replay button on seekbar? Right now it is an icon, I want it to say "Replay".

Hi Apoorv,

There isn't an option to change the icon to a word choice. If having this ability is something that would improve your experience using Articulate you can submit a feature request here.

Hello Ashley

I am also having issues with the seekbar-replay feature. I want the slides to be "resume saved state" so that the learner can quickly move through the slides once completed; however I would like them to be able to replay them from the beginning if wished. If I have "resume saved state" but let them rewind, then the objects in the slide with triggers get messy as some objects stay in the slide and others appear slowly as the seekbar advances.

I really don't know how to go about it.

I leave you here a slide so that you can see what I refer to.

As is now, my solution is to get rid of the seekbar so that they don't run into any unexpected states of the slide. However, they will find this quite limiting. 

Isn't there a trigger called "restart slide" as there is one to restart the course? Basically, something with the functionality of the replay arrow button that comes with the seekbar, but just by itself, that works also when "resume saved state"? It surprises me that this is not available, as I believe it is a basic and very user-friendly feature that most users would wish for.

Thanks in advance

Hello Amaia,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are running into with your project.

It sounds like you would like the learner to go through the slides the first time, then be able to move around as they wish, which is what restricted navigation is for. You can read some additional details here. 

The Rewind button on the seekbar is dependent on the setting of the slide properties, which is why it's not starting over if the setting is to resume saved state.

We do have a feature request that we are tracking to allow for additional features and controls of the rewind button and I've added this conversation to the report.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.

I too have a course where I want to retain the saved state, so that the learner can review what they have entered. In this case the REPLAY button is visible but does not do anything (as describe and raised in countless posts already).

I also need the ability for the learner to replay the slide as there is audio content and they may wish to listen to it again.

This means that I need to have the SEEK bar enabled so they can listen to the audio again.

It does seem odd to me to have a button on the slide that behaves differently to what a learner would intuitively believe it should based on whether there is animation or layers on the slide (if you set to Automatically Decide) or just does not work (when you set to Resume Saved State).

The easiest solutions imo would be to:

1. Grey out the REPLAY button when it is not available.
2. Separate the SEEK BAR and REPLAY button in the course player settings, so one can be turned on and the other turned off.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

I have to chime in on this issue (again!) --> the sometimes non-functioning replay button on the screen is, simply, a fail of the first order. If it's there, are users going to try to click it? Of course they are! It comes across as disingenuous to say it is 'working as expected' because, outside of Articulate staff, the behaviour is anything BUT expected.

Articulate coders, can you PLEASE modify the Replay button --> Brian's suggestions from the previous post are perfect.

Truly,

Greg

It is UNBELIEVABLE how a big company like Articulate ignore their customer. We pay a lot (it is not a cheap license) for this software, and we have asked for simple features for OVER 7 YEARS, and we get nowhere!
From today I will send a form for a feature request for this and another one (import video with alpha background) every day in the hopes they will at least address it, put it on the roadmap or something. 
You guys can send a request too. Here is the link. https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request

There is another thread about this going on up to this day.

Hi, 8 years in the future and still no fix for this problem. I came to the forum looking for a solution but it looks like there is no fix to it, see you guys in the next 8 years.

Hi All,

I'm having similar issues. I got a request from a user to be able to rewind audio to replay at a specific point. Replay starts the slide over from the beginning, and if I use the seek bar to back up, the slide goes back but the audio doesn't - it just resumes where you left off.

Is there a way for a user to click the seek bar to replay the slide AND audio at that time point?
