Hide Playbar In Quiz Works -- until you go back

Question

I have a tutorial with a few knowledge checks (quiz questions). In order to make sure the user does not just skip by the quiz question, I checked the disable playbar in quiz box. This worked like a charm, until I clicked the Back button to go back and look at the quiz question after it had been submitted.
This quite effectively stopped both forward and backward navigation, as I cannot re-submit any responses, and the playbar is disabled, so I cannot move forward or backward.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,
I suppose you deleted the Next button on the Question slides? Have a look at this blog post about the question slide design:

If you have multiple attempts on Question level, those attempts are 'closed' when you leave the question slide. Going back to that question slide will never allow you to re-submit a question, only retaking a new attempt on Quiz level will clear all answers and allow then a new attempt when getting back to a question.
The Next button, that doubles as a Skip button during question attempt can be confusing to the user, tempted to click on that button instead of the Submit button. Perhaps that is the reason why I recommend in the post to hide the Next button under the Clear button, but of course going back to a question will not show that Next button, only during Review the Clear button will disappear to let the Next button visible that was hidden under Clear.
Good practice if you are hiding the Playbar is either:
to uncheck the option 'Allow Backward movement' in the Quiz settings
to leave the Next button on the Question slides visible (and explain the user that he has to click Submit to enter an answer)
