Create a slide-level interaction in Adobe Captivate

Learn how to add a slide-level interaction in a Captivate project.

In the all-new Adobe Captivate, slide-level interactions are the ones that you apply at a slide level rather than at the object level. Slide-level interactions are timeline and object-based. For more information on creating your first slide-level interaction and other details, view Interactions in Adobe Captivate.

The following triggers are available at a slide level. Slide-level triggers, for example, Timeline-based, typically rely on the slide's timeline to execute an action. You can set up the trigger so that an action occurs when a learner enters or exits a slide.

  • Objects: 
    • Custom states viewed: An action occurs when a learner views selected custom states.
    • Objects clicked: An action occurs when a learner clicks on objects.
  • Timeline:
    • Slide enter: A set of actions occur when a learner enters a slide.
    • Slide exit: A set of actions occur when a learner exits a slide.
    • Bookmark: A set of actions occur when a learner reaches a bookmark.
