Retake quiz button goes to correct 1st question, but then shows content between module questions

[SusannNutter]

I'm using Captivate 8, win 7 64 bit

I have 4 modules with graded module questions following each. When I click the Retake Quiz button on quiz failure, I'm taken correctly to the module 1/quiz question 1. But after taking module 1 questions, I'm then taken into module 2 content. Etc.

How do I get it to display only the questions on quiz failure? The Review Quiz option does just that - only questions - no intervening content.  Why not the Retake Quiz option?

Thanks for your help!!!

Sorry, that is the design of Quiz slides, pretty strict rules. You can override this using an advanced conditional or shared action On Enter for each or the first, depending on the linearity of the course, content slide after a quiz slide. There is a quiz system variable cpInfoAttempts that is incremented each time you click on the Retake button. It has the value 1 the first time you take the Quiz. If you create a condition like 'IF cpInfoAttempts is greater than 1' you know that you are in at least the second attempt. At that moment you can jump to the first next question slide in module 2.

Thanks, Lilybiri!

I used cpQuizInfoAttempts and it works just fine as a regular Advanced Action. Now I'll attempt to make a Shared Action for this since it seems I'll be using it a lot. If you have any advice, for that, I'd love to hear it!

I have several articles on my blog as an introduction to Shared actions (busy with an e-book as well):

Dare to Share - part 1 - Captivate blog

Parameters in Shared Actions - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

Thanks again. I'll review these.
