Description of the Feature Request

Problem: Currently, when a user revisits a lesson that was previously completed, the visited links within the lesson remain marked as visited. This can lead to confusion for users who wish to revisit all links within the lesson.

Proposed Solution: Implement a feature that resets the visited status of links within a lesson when the lesson is marked as 'incomplete' again.

Acceptance criteria

Reset Visited Status: Upon changing the status of a lesson from 'complete' to 'incomplete', trigger a process that resets the visited status of all links within that lesson to 'unvisited'.

I'm 99% sure this is not technically feasible, as I do not believe there is a mechanism to manipulate the visited status of links

I am with @Asartea . The visited status of links is a browser function. In fact it is not even a website by website property. If you go to another website that has the same link on it, it will also show as visited.

Yep, visited vs unvisited works through your browser history unfortunately. Thanks for taking the time to make this suggestion @Looch8, I agree it would be really nice feature to have. But I don't think theres any way of doing this.
