Attached screen shot shows course completion setting
Video 1 shows the ability to fast forward when completion status is reset.
Video 2 shows the inability to fast forward for new students in the same course.

What I Expected

playhead would jump back to the start of the video (or whatever point the video had been appropriately viewed). Unable to complete the lesson without watching the full video.

What Happened Instead

Context / Source

Sensei LMS Pro manages lesson completion logic, user progress tracking, and course requirements

Issue – The restriction on fast forwarding is not being re-asserted for students who had previously completed a lesson but had that lesson completion status reset to “not started.” This appears to be a bug. The restriction works for any new student who had never previously taken the lesson.

Background - Students have mandatory courses (lessons) they need to take. Some courses (lessons) need to be taken annually or once every X years or once per license cycle. Currently the student can purchase and re-enroll in a previously completed course / lesson. The course, however, preserves the completion status from the previous purchase. This: 1) allows the student to fast forward through content regardless of controls 2) prevents an updated course completion record 3) prevents the creation of a new CE certificate.
