The Retry/Repeat Quiz button Loop

Hi Judy,

Thank you so much for the suggestion.

The workaround using the custom buttons is a great suggestion, but wouldn't really work for my specific issue.

My course set up is such that triggering the buttons to go to specific slides, beyond using just the Previous and Next buttons, might adversely affect branching pathways (i.e. where a student ends up should they decide to go back through the course using only the Previous button.

One of the boxes to tick when going through our eLearning checklist is the course can be navigated front-to-back and back-to-front using only Next and Previous buttons. I'd think that is an industry best practice.

This issue with the Retry/Reattempt Quiz button creates a problem whereby if the student retries the quiz a loop is created that takes them from Question 1 directly to the Results slide if they are going back-to-front using the Previous button,

The issue can be bypassed using the menu (if the menu is not set to Restricted in Menu settings), but that workaround violates the unwritten navigational rule: You should be able to navigate front to back and back to front multiple times in a course using only the Next and Previous buttons.

What I need, I think, is a variable with a condition (maybe True/False) that kills that loop. Weather that is a variable/condition/trigger combo applied to the Next button or the Retry button I'm not sure.

Again, seems as though anyone using a Retry button in a project built in Articulate Storyline or Articulate 360 would be encountering this issue, so I though it would be rather common and well known.
