How is it possible to rename the button “restart selection”? It shows up in the boxed structure of experiments. I would need to rename it in German.

Gerrit,  
This new feature unfortunately is not customisable through the UI.  
But here is a one line fix that will replace the text.

- Add a text element
- change to code view
- paste this

```auto
<script>
  $("[data-task=reset-progressive-choice]").text("Auswahl neu starten");
</script>

```

I assume you’re using the progressive choice option in a best-worst  
So it should look like this

This funny $ notation is called JQuery - which is native to SurveyEngine and is extremely widely used online.

This method can be used to manipulate any element in the page.  
In this case the expression says

- with the list of all elements that have the attribute data-task set to reset-progressive-choice
- replace text text part of the markup with the German ‘Auswahl neu starten’
