checkIfResetOnRevisit does not give user notification.

questionView.checkIfResetOnRevisit function

Does not give user notification on reset and returns the user to a blank and incomplete component on a page revisit as per forum comment

This needs to be fixed.

[darylhedley]

This should be handle by plugins wanting to reset questions on revisit as this is by default set to not reset

[oliverfoster]

I agree, this function should be part of a plugin. Perhaps called, adapt-contrib-resetOnRevisit ?

[taylortom]

Is the suggestion then to refactor 'checkIfResetOnRevisit' into a separate plugin?

[olivermartinfoster]

Only plugins should reset components and give appropriate notification. checkIfResetOnRevisit is a specific reset behaviour actioned on a page revisit. This type of reset behaviour is only one use-case for resetting and should indeed be a separate extensios. This would allow people to choose which reset behaviour they would like. The extension could listen to pageView:prerender, select all children components which have _isResetOnRevisit: true, ask the user via a prompt and proceed to reset or not based upon their feedback and using the model based behaviour. The component/question views wouldn't need its own reset behaviour except for instances of UI resetting whereby the component is reset whilst on the page. For this each component can listen to _isInteractionComplete: true>false and implement UI resetting accordingly.
