Question

Is there a way to maintain the last state of a slide on revisit?

I have timed elements and audio on each slide in my presentation. When the user encounters each slide for the first time, I would like the slide to run in its entirety. When the user revisits a slide, I would like it load in the last state of that slide and to not play the audio for that slide. Is there an out of the box way to do that in Captivate 2017?

I've been able to create a variable that tally's the visits to a specific slide. In theory I could force it to run an action if the tally is greater than 0, but I can't find an action that forces the timeline to specific timestamp in that slide (in this case, the end). It also seems cumbersome to create a tally variable for each slide. 

I'm hoping to avoid JavaScript if I can.

    No out of the box way, sorry. I showed several work flows, but it depends on the setup of the slide. Have a look at this movie, tell me which work flow you like:

    Both solutions only use advancec actions, no JS.
