it's already in place and works great! (See the conversation between John
and I re Articulate resume functionality etc)
However it does need to be an optional property because there are some LO's
where you wouldn't want it to be possible to skip direct to specific pages
even if pages have been viewed previously. Not just because of non-linear
navigation settings but also simply because of context etc. Having this
under author control makes sense.

Add it as an optional property to the learningObject section of the xwd.
Then the author can enable it, and the end user can make use of it. I think
I got confused / distracted by the conversation about adding proeprties to
each page, you don't need to do that in this case, right? Just one tick box
for the author to say 'Enable bookmarking' and then if ticked, your code can
run.
As far as old LOs go, there aren't any HTML5 old ones as such - so you could
push it in there and have it always on for HTML5 content without any wizard
settings? I take it wouldn't work in the flash version (that's fine).

Too much confusing terminology....
In my mind it needs added to the wizard so the creator can add it to the LO?
Is the wizard not the editor?

So you only need to add it to the LO then?

If you turn it on then it adds an extra resume=xxx parameter to the url.
This can then be bookmarred to resume later...

property in the wizard for end users?

Hi,
I have hashtag deeplinking working now in such a way that partway through a
LO you can bookmark your page and return to that page at a later date. It
appends the page number as a hash which overrides any other deeplinking
options set. I'd like to get this checked in so that I can have a clear out
of work-in-progress.
I want to make this optional though so as not to affect any existing LOs.
Can anyone tell me how you add optional properties to the wizard or point me
in the general direction of any instructions? Any suggestions as to the name
for this optional property also welcome or anything else that comes to mind?
Thanks in advance.
