I have searched for a replay button that will work in 2019. I read Lilibri's blog post Replay (slide) button. The first replay didn't seen to work to reset the slide. I tried building the second option and I'm either assigning the wrong action to the wrong place or it just doesn't work for me.

Would appreciate any and all advice. The original AA for the replay that the customer used was Go to Previous Slide then the next line was Go to Next Slide. It seemed to work before but doesn't now.

TIA Susan

Please look at my blog for Replay button. You need second scenario.
Alternative, maybe easier:
Insert short dummy slide, 0.1sec before slide to be reset. Use action Go to
Previous slide.

I did attempt to use your Replay button blog post. But I either missed something or I assigned the wrong actions to the On Enter and the Replay button. We all know I'm not as smart as I'd like to be.

I'll try the 0.1 second slide.

It depends what you want to reset. I summarized what will be reset automatically. The dummy slide approach has been explained in this blog:

The On Enter action is mainly used to 'reset' items that are not reset automatically: objects that need to be hidden, variables that need to be reset etc. The Replay button with the micronavigation approach (to re-enter the slide which makes the Reset action to replay) will only navigate. In order to navigate to a frame little bit before the first frame of the slide to be reset, you need to assign the frame number to a user variable in the On Enter action as well.

There are plenty of example use cases on ly blog using either the dummy slide approach or the micro-navigation one.
