Is there a way to restart an animation from Nested artboard?

This will depend on how you have the state machine configured and what you want to do, but in general, if you expose the input of the nested artboard, you can trigger it from the main artboard using the event. In this example, you can see that I have an animation of a ball controlled by an input and that the input is exposed. In the main artboard, I create an event, and, in this case, I trigger it from the timeline, but you could do it from a transition, state, or listener. Once the event is created, you only need to make Rive listen to it, and to do that, you use a listener using the main artboard as a target. Then, you just have to select the artboard nest input. This is a simple example, but it depends on what you want to do and how you have the state machine configured on the main artboard. About simple animation and remap. The simple animation is ideal for animations or loops you do not need to restart. For example, the propeller can be a nested artboard with a simple animation in an airplane animation. It will constantly be spinning; while using the state machine, you control how the plane moves. The remap is good to use when you need to control the animation because it allows you to use time values. This allows you to stretch or shrink the animation. An example is making the animation speed up or starting the animation from a certain point in the timeline.
