Captivate 9, drag and drop - show correct answers after final attempt

HELP! I'm pulling my hair out trying to search video and forums on this. It can't be this difficult...

I have a simple drag and drop - drag numbers over to the smart shapes to identify the correct order the text in the shapes should be in.

For the life of me I can't seam to find how to show the correct answers to the user when they exhaust the attempts.

I have it set for 2 attempts, the failure message appears, the slide resets and allows them to go again - but if they fail that second time... the user sits while the time expires on the slide and it moves to the next slide.

How can you show the user  - "Hey, you've been incorrect twice but here are the correct answers before we move onto the next slide."

Thank you kindly for any help that can be provided!

There is no built in feature that allows you to do this. After the last attempt you have the Failure action that can be executed (don't leave it set to 'Continue', which is what makes you waiting until the playhead reaches the last frame). I would create a duplicate of the drag&drop slide with the correct answers, which you could do by taking a screenshot while previewing the project and having completed the D&D correctly. Put that screenshot on a slide, and add the text you want to explain. Set the Last Attempt action to 'Go to Next Slide' and you'll have your complete feedback slide.

That worked AMAZINGLY well - thank you so very much. Now I just have to have that slide not be visible if they get the right answers off the hop.

In that case, use the Go to Next Slide only for the Last Attempt action, and set the Success action to 'Jump to ...' where you skip the slide with the correct answers. I don't know if you have custom navigation or navigation by a default playbar. In the last scenario, the user could still navigate to that duplicate slide.
