But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Interactive video KC overlay not jumping to bookmark

My overlay KC slides were not navigating back to the bookmarks as expected.  In fact, answering correctly or incorrectly would continue to the next slide and skip the remaining portion of the video and all remaining video overlays.  To correct the problem I had to ensure that “Allow Backward Movement” was selected in Quiz Preferences > Settings.
