Allow Rewind Function on Restricted Timelines
As a rule, due to the nature of our business and contracts with unions, we must ensure that our learners are watching the full slide or video without fast forwarding through the content, but the restricted timeline does not allow rewinding or jumping back a few seconds (5 or 10) or to any point previously viewed until the entire video or slide has completed.
This is extremely frustrating for our learners as a slight distraction could mean missing an important concept or content until possibly the end of the 15 minute video when they would then be able to drag the seekbar back.
Requests have come in to also adjust the replay icon to allow small segments of time on that icon (which does not seem to work on a restricted seekbar w the slide set to resume saved state - another issue).
Hi Everyone!
Thank you for the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Storyline 360!
I'm happy to share that we are tracking a feature request to allow the seek-bar to be dragged backwards, while forward seeking remains restricted. I've included all of your voices in this request! We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our product roadmap.
Have a great rest of your week!

Adding this functionality would improve our learner experience greatly!
We could definitely use this at my company as well, as we are getting complaints about not being able to rewind/replay during a video rather than waiting to the end and having to try and remember what place we wanted to watch again.
I couldn't agree more. It can be frustrating as a learner to have to go through the entire of the video and miss one major point and not being able to follow the remainder of the lesson.
I agree with this request for an enhancement. Our learners have repeatedly expressed frustration at not being able to jump back even a few seconds to gain clarity on a content point. The content is technical and it's easy for them to miss a few words that then hinder their understanding of the remainder of a video.

That is wonderful to hear, Steven!
I am certain that this learning best practice will suit all learners' needs!
