What does "submit" on question slides trigger?

I am trying to figure out what triggers what on the question slides.

This is my theory:  The submit event first triggers the "showing" of the "correct" label, if you have this checkmarked in the "quiz" field .

A combination of "submit" and "slide end" triggers the "on success" and "last attempt" events.

Do I understand this correctly?

I am using Captivate 9.

Maybe have a look at:

Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog

Submit button triggers the two-step Submit process if you don't tweak it (see blog post for tweaks):

  1. The playhead remains paused, but the feedback messages appear, which an be Success, Failure or Retry (for multiple attempts); the default Failure/Success message tell what the user has to do for the second step
  2. Clicking on the slide or pressing Y will trigger the execution of the Last Attempt/Success actions, with the exception of failure when the attempts are not yet exhausted, where this second step is not necessary because user can change the answers after the Retry message in first step.

So it seems there are two "on success" events that are going on in the background when the answer is correct. When the first fires, the first "success" feedback message appears, (if that box is clicked in quiz settings). The second is firted after this original feedback is clicked away.

There is only one event, but it has two actions, where the first action shows the message and waits until the user has read and decides to move on. Then the action you did define in the Quiz properties will fire. If you want to tweak, there is a solution in my blog post.

Ok., Thanks. I am just trying to improve my mental model about whats going on here.

Clicking the Submit button triggers the evaluation of the answer selected by the learner, and if feedback captions are set to appear (in Quiz settings) then the relevant success or failure caption will appear.

The quiz slide timeline does NOT need to reach the end for the Success or Failure captions to appear.  The quiz slide has a pause point which is visible as a vertical line on the timeline.  The playhead only usually begins to move beyond this pause point when the currently visible feedback caption is dismissed by the user. 

The specified On Success action will occur when the success caption is dismissed.  The specified On Last Attempt action will be executed when the failure caption is dismissed IF the learner has exhausted all allowed attempts.
