Hello,

I’m working on quizzes with the 2019 version of Captivate, and I can’t help but notice it loads and advances thru slides significantly slower than regular projects.  The quizzes are multiple choice; After submitting the answer and receiving the correct/incorrect prompt, it can take up to 30 seconds or more to advance to the next slide on it’s own. Otherwise, the ‘Submit’ button has to be clicked a second time to advance. I’ve looked at the options for the button and don’t see any way to disable double clicking. How can I change this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

So I have a similar problem, but I do not have audio on my quiz slides. I just have simple multiple choice and still the quizzes feel really slow. It’s a bad user experience. Any ideas?

New to Captivate?  You have a Timeline problem,  as many users happen to have. It is the number one stumbling block, lack of understanding the Timeline. I could ask you to post a screenshot of a quiz slide. Probably this happens:

You have added slide audio with narration to the quiz slide
Submit button is linked to the pausing point of the quiz slide, which is visible on the timeline.
You have not changed the location of that pausing point. It is NOT pausing the narration, but it will stop the playhead.
After having done the first step of the Submit button, where the feedback shows up, the learner has to click the slide or press Y to have the second step done.
That second step is releasing the playhead AND doing the actions specified in the Quiz Properties for Success ad Last Attempt (unless there are attempts left, but then you see the Retry message).
Those actions are by default set to ‘Continue’ which means that the playhead now has to move through the inactive part of the quiz slide, which may be long depending on the length of the slide audio. The slide duration was automatically increased when you imported or recorded the slide audio (narration). Will post some links in a separate comment.
