I am using Captivate 9, I have developing a course, in that i am not using custom player. For replay button i have used expression which works fine in most of the slides, but i have a drag and drop slide, in which its not working as expected, i am not using reset button. its very straight forward activity, five drag and five drops, only correct option will drop rest not, and i am not even used submit button, i am used auto submit.

Is there any way to make it work?

Correct answer RodWard

A Drag and Drop slide will NOT reset on re-entering the slide if you have set it to report a score to the quiz. In that case the only way to reset it will be to use the Retake Quiz button on the Quiz Results slide.

If you want the learner to have the option to reset the Drag and Drop interaction for another attempt BEFORE they leave the slide, then you need to allow multiple attempts on the interaction AT THE SLIDE LEVEL and turn on the Undo and Reset buttons in the Drag and Drop tab. Unless you also allow multiple attempts ON THE OVERALL QUIZ in Quiz Settings you will not have the option to add the Retake Quiz button to the Quiz Results slide.

A drag and drop will reset itself on slide entry (except if you have customized it somehow). Perhaps you could place a very small short slide without any pauses just before the drag and drop and rather than using the replay slide expression just have it the o to previous slide. this should reset your drag and drop. If you also have a Back button you might want to change its action to jump to the slide before the previous so it functions normally.

Like Rod, my first question would have been: are those D&D slides reporting a score (hybrid quiz slide) or just Knowledge Check slides. Rod's answer is as usual very clear. I want however to add comment to the work flow with dummy slide for a KC D&D slide to reset.

What Paul forgets to mention is that the insertion of a dummy slide to help resetting a slide is due to a bug in the present version of CP2017, only for HTML5 output. I had to apply this workaround and explained it in detail in several blog posts. Here is one link:

Have fun with.. While loop | eLearning

The more elegant solution with micronavigation which I described in my old blog (only accessible after requesting a free password) works perfectly in CP9, both for SWF and HTML5 output. Until a patch is Just for CP2017 that fixes the bug where micronavigation will not have an On Enter event occurring in HTML5 output, the dummy slide is the only workaround I could detect.

Why is this a cumbersome workaround: because you cannot use a playbar, if you insert cpInfoCurrentSlide to show the slide number, it will not be correct, if you have a TOC without labeling slides, the slide number will not be correct neither and the total number of slides will be off as well.
