TIP: Build a Rise Course with a Pretest
You said you want to "give staff the ability to retake the pretest twice." That sounds like you want to allow 3 attempts. In that case, you'll have to use a number variable to track the attempts. Add 1 to the variable every time the user reaches the Results slide (that is, when the timeline starts on the slide). Then use another trigger to hide the Retry button when the timeline starts with the condition that the number = 3.
- If you search the community, you'll probably find demos for this.
If you only want them to have 2 attempts, it's easier. Add a trigger that hides the Retry button when the user clicks the Retry button. Be sure to move that trigger before the trigger that jumps back to the first question.
If you have additional questions, I suggest you start a new discussion specifically about controlling the number of attempts for a Quiz.
And keep in mind that if a user exits the course immediately after taking the pretest, the pretest will completely reset when they return to the course.
Only 2 attempts. Thank you for that. I'm pretty good with Rise, still learning Storyline. Been meaning to take a course but none meets my schedule. :)
Edit: That totally worked. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Pay it forward when you can. 😊
FYI: After a webinar, they typically email everyone who registered with a link to the recording. That's a great way to "attend" on your own schedule. You can also search for the on-demand recordings: Category: Training and Tutorials | Articulate - Community
I'll be presenting "Top 10 Tips for New Storyline Users" next week (10 am CDT, Oct. 29, 2025). For now, you can find that in the list of Live Training Webinars: Live Training Webinars | Articulate - Community.
