H5P Branching Scenario Resetting Progress on Restart

I am using the H5P Branching Scenario with 9 interactive videos, each containing one MCQ question. To unlock the next module, students must score at least 4 out of 9 marks across the videos.

The in-video questions are working correctly, and the next module unlocks as expected. However, I am facing an issue after the 9th video:

  1. After completing all videos, a summary screen appears, showing the total marks the student has earned.
  2. Below the score, there is a button (which can be renamed).
  3. Clicking this button restarts the entire branch, resetting the student’s score to zero and locking the modules they had previously unlocked.

Additionally:

  • Students can revisit previous activities (e.g., go back to Activity 1.1 after unlocking Activity 1.2), which is expected behavior.
  • However, if they click the restart button (knowingly or unknowingly), all progress resets, and previously unlocked activities become locked again.

 

Is there a way to prevent the restart button from resetting the student’s progress while still allowing them to revisit completed videos without losing their score?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The restart button in H5P Branching Scenario resets all progress, including unlocked modules, which isn't ideal. To prevent this, you can disable or hide the button using CSS, enable the "Save Content State" feature in an LMS, or store progress externally. If customization is possible, modifying the summary screen behavior to prevent score reset while allowing content revisits would be a good solution.
