Saving Progress of Video when Exiting Course

If there is a feature request for this to be a 'built-in' feature, I will add my name to the list as well! 

To update on my post from three years ago. The issue was related to a corrupted font, though the support staff and I were perplexed as to why the issue disappeared when I rolled back my version of Storyline. So the workaround I was using (to create a "Your progress has been saved" slide, and on-screen buttons to go to and from that slide) was back to working in published output once I dealt with that.

I have 176 courses loaded using this workaround and those courses have been completed almost 5300 times. Considering that it relies on end users to click somewhere other than an "X" when they want to exit, the fact that I've only had one user issue that was related to the specific wording on the button itself makes me feel pretty confident.

(I do want to note that I do not have video controls turned on for these courses. The video files are inserted into the slides and the main timeline runs the show.)

In the last week or so, I've been playing with dialog layers. I ran some quick tests to see if they would also save video progress and triggering the dialog layer (with default settings) works enough like a slide state change that the progress/bookmarking data captures it for the LMS. Since dialog layers can be designed and managed within slide masters, there should be some extra versatility when it comes to templating this mechanism across slides and across courses. 

As long as my testing keeps going as it has been, we've got two workarounds for this now!
