Delete Unused Advanced Actions in Your Captivate eLearning
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

Not useful at all. I already knew this. The problem is that Captivate will deny deletion of an action, saying it is in use. However, clicking the Usage buttons reveals that it’s actually not in use. The same thing happens with variables. Captivate will claim that a certain variable is in use by an advanced action when it’s actually not. If you could help me fix this @

Quite unusable. There are buttons to clean library and variables, they forgot this one.

Interesting how the program doesn’t have a button for “unused advanced actions”.

Can we please have a more efficient method for removing unused variables and advanced actions? Let it break if we ignore warnings of deleting related elements and logic. Plus, Captivate holding onto certain advanced actions. This has been an issue for years. Should not have to start from scratch to break the connection to unused elements. Known bug, please find a solution.

Hi, is there any way of deleting multiple unused advanced actions from the project, rather than one by one?

It’s also a good idea to document  (bleh, I know!) the purpose of the Advance Action. Use the description fields to describe to yourself, your team members, or the NEXT developer.

Yes, I agree. I often am the designer and the developer so I’ve picked up the bad habit of not detailing those sorts of things. Certainly, if you work within a team of many developers it’s a great best practice.
