Thank you so much, Paul! It's great to see these with the new Captivate. One thing that I would say is that there is something else we need to include in trainings besides clicking and entering text. We are working on trainings that involve general digital skills that many learners need to acquire, and CLICKING AND DRAGGING is key for this--that is, clicking and holding the mouse key and simultaneously moving. It's extremely important and necessary when you need to move a window, or when you need to resize a window, and it's not immediately intuitive (though to experienced computer users it might seem that way). Would it even be possible to include clicking and dragging in a training or assessment simulation?

Hello Paul! Thanks for the video on creating simulations. Are slide notes available in the new captivate version? This feature is handy when we authoring a project and need to export a project as a document. Any workarounds that you would recommend?

HI Paul / your videos are great, thank you. New user here of the "new" tool/version - I tried a few practice training simulations and they worked fine. For a bigger project, I have combined various projects into one. However, in this latest version when published the checkboxes no longer seem to work - any ideas what the issue might be?

Thank you for this video, Paul. Is there a way to reset input fields and click boxes for training simulations? I was able to do this in Captivate 2019. In my initial testing of 12.3, click boxes and input fields do not reset upon slide re-entry when tested in our LMS, preventing learners from repeating the simulation if they need additional practice. I’ve attempted to add slide-level interactions to reset (enable) these elements on slide entry, but it hasn’t resolved the issue.

Hi Paul!
First of all! you are doing great job by sharing videos !

I am facing 2 main issues with All new version as below:
1. in Simulations- We can not add Right click interaction to a Click box, which is very important in most of the software sims.
2. if we put highlight Box (or even 2nd click box) on a Click Box, it is not working ! it's like All new version does not allow overlapping of Click boxes even if we adjusted entry of clickboxes on timeline (1 st click box enter then layer end, 2nd click box started on timeline);

it would be very helpful if you have any solution!
i also raised this concern to the Adobe.
I think without these two functionalities most of the Software simulations won't work.

This video was great and exactly what we needed - thank you! I have a question about using simulations within Captivate. When I add a simulation to a project, Captivate changes the size of text and video blocks on preceding slides. Clicking "Undo" removes the simulation slides but doesn't revert the changes made to the preceding slides. The only option is to close Captivate and "Discard" all changes. I've tried creating simulations using different capture types (fullscreen, application window, and custom size), but the outcome is always the same. Do you have any tips, tricks, or recommendations for this issue?

Hi Paul, I noticed the instruction boxes no longer have a corner with a pointer like we have in the older versions of Captivate. We use the instruction box to point to the field we want the user to click. Is this available in the new version of Captivate?

Hi Paul, thank you very much for the video. I would like users to have a choice to go back and do the simulation again, but the simulation does not work the second time once it's gone through. Is there a way/workaround to make the simulation work multiple times? Thank you very much in advance!

Thank you, sir! Will we get to download this project??

In the newest version of adobe captivate, is there any way to record a webcam while recording the screen? would it be 2 different streams or one?

[susancockburn]

Hi Paul, is the simulation in the new version now offering the same functionality that was available in the previous older version? I only tend to do simulations and would like to know if I can still do the same things as before.

Is the importing of Powerpoint slides now possible, do you know, and does it mean by Customisable Smart Shapes which when I looked is not yet available?

As always thank you for your help.

Thank you sir for your great contribution. Please make video in Adobe Captivate 2023, in which you make an elearning module for an organization which also has quiz knowledge check till uploading on LMS

can we not add multiple click boxes in the slide?

Not all slides are being captured when I record trng simulation
