Displaying confirmation messages
Confirmation messages appear when you perform important, and often permanent, actions in
Adobe Captivate. The confirmation messages give you one more opportunity to change your
mind when deleting information or changing key attributes. If you find that certain messages are
not necessary for the way you work or are slowing down your development time, you might want
to disable confirmation messages for actions that you perform frequently.
To display or not display confirmation messages:
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the Options menu, select Preferences.
3.
Select the actions you want to confirm, and/or remove the check mark from actions you do not
want to confirm.
■
Delete object Displays a message before an object is removed.
■
Delete slide Displays a message before a slide is removed.
■
Project resize
Displays a message before a project is resized. (Resizing a project is an
action that cannot be “undone,” so it is a good idea to display a confirmation message for
this action.)
■
Video quality change Displays a message before the quality of a slide is changed.
■
Remove audio
Displays a message before audio is deleted.
■
Cancel audio changes
Displays a message before canceling any audio changes (for
example, adjusting volume, cutting and pasting sections, and so on).
■
Check audio input levels
Displays a message before changing audio input levels (for
microphones or recording devices).
■
Frame rate change
Select this option to have a confirmation message appear before
changing the frame rate.
■
FLA export instructions
Select this option to have a confirmation message appear when
exporting an Adobe Captivate project into Flash.
■
Publish overwrite files
Select this option to have a confirmation message appear when
publishing files to the same location more than once. (For example, you publish to Flash
and create a SWF file stored in a particular location. If you publish to Flash again, creating a
SWF file and saving it to the same location, a confirmation message will display asking if
you want to overwrite the existing file.)
■
Change audio Displays a message while recording, importing, or adding new audio to a
slide with existing audio.
■
Extend item Displays a message if you add audio to an object when the audio’s duration is
longer than the object’s duration.
■
Remove item from Library Displays a message when you delete an item from the Library.
■
Sharing of audio Displays a message when you change an audio that is used on another
slide.
■
Duplicating of audio Displays a message when you add an audio that is already on another
slide.
