"Resume Saved State" - no longer works if Next button disabled when timeline begins?
From the tutorial: "Resume saved state: Use this option if you want the slide to always remember its previous state. In other words, this option lets learners pick up where they left off when they leave the slide and come back to it later."
I have routinely built slides where the Next button is disabled when timeline starts, and normal when timeline ends. When revisiting the slide, I set it to 'resume saved state.' With the recent updates, it appears this no longer works; when you revisit a slide, the Next button is disabled. What am I missing?

Yes, this is still an issue in December 2023.
Hello Alexander,
Happy to chime in!
I wanted to share this article which explains why the behavior that is discussed in this thread is working as designed:
In Storyline, the timeline-starts trigger event occurs every time the slide displays. So the timeline-starts trigger always executes when the learner revisits the slide, even if it resumes its saved state.
I understand that this behavior might not be ideal for some, and we'd like to hear your thoughts on how this feature can be enhanced or improved through a feature request!
Thanks Jose. I can work with that.I had another trigger on the same slide which enables the Next button when the timeline reaches 14 seconds, but it does not work.
If the disable trigger is re-activated on slide revisit, can I expect the re-enable button to also re-activate on revisit.
Thanks and best regards
AlexHello Alexander!
Is it possible that you could share your .story file with us? I'd like to be able to test your file out on my end.
You can either share it in this discussion or privately in a support case.
