Hey everyone, does anyone know if there is a shortcut or an easier way to restart the Niagara timeline preview?

For example, let’s say my timeline is 3 seconds long. I hit play, but after 1.5 seconds, I want to restart it from the beginning again. Is there any way to set up a shortcut for this?

I usually iterate on VFX by replaying the same effect dozens of times, so having a quick way to reset/restart the preview would really improve my workflow.

Would clicking compile restart the timeline?

If you have the system window focused, you can press space to reset.

I don’t know if it’s my version (5.7), but pressing space resumes from where it stopped, it doesn’t start over.

Might be todo where you have your mouse focussed, in the timeline on niagara it will not reset.
press play on your playback controls and explicitly focus your mouse in your system overview.
