Improving Freeform Questions

Hi,

I’d like to share or discuss the following. I’ve developed a Freeform Pick One template, where the look & feel of the feedback layers is designed in the Feedback Master. I’m using 4 answer options – each one is a rectangle with text, instead of the traditional radio buttons. I’m using the following trigger and settings: “When the state of at least one of the rectangles A, B, C, D is selected, Submit Pick One.”

This works well. 

The slide settings are configured without slide navigation controls, and I’m using “Resume saved state when returning to this slide.”

1. What I’ve noticed is that Storyline automatically adds the slide layer triggers: “When the timeline ends on this layer: Hide this layer” and “Jump to next slide.” But this is not helpful at all—in my case, it breaks the interaction. Can Articulate prevent this from happening automatically? In other words, can the program avoid adding these triggers by default?

2. The advantage of this interaction is its simplicity. The downside is that the user can’t answer the question again. That’s because of the ‘resume state’ setting. The benefit of resume state is that the learner sees their answer is saved and that the question has already been completed. The downside is that they can’t choose to redo/replay the question. (This is, for example, possible in Rise.)

That’s why I’d like to ask: is it possible to create an additional slide trigger that resets the page? (e.g. “Reset this page to initial state when the user clicks X.”) That would complete this interaction for me. Thanks in advance!
