Easy Custom Table of Contents (Branching) in Captivate 2019 Update 2
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.

  1. Here are the steps to reproduce it yourself:
    Label your branching slide “branching”
  2. Create interactive objects with no action and label them for each intended section.
    • Optionally you can add visited states to these buttons if you want to show completion as I have done in this video
  3. Create a final interactive object for your quiz and label it “quiz” and make it not visible in output
  4. Group your slides into sections and label them precisely the same as your interactive objects from the branching slide, including the one for the quiz

Patreon subscribers can download this project to experiment with the interaction I’ve created.

Hello, I want to add audio to my branching slide, but I want it to be played only the first time visiting the branching slide. How ist this possible?

Thanks Paul. Does this also work if you have single slides in your “chapters” instead of multiples that you can group?

No, they must be grouped into these branching groups in order for your branching slide to recognize them.

Does the last button always have to be labeled “quiz” for the visibility to toggle?

The main purpose of these easy workflows is to give new or inexperienced users an easy way to build what would be more difficult without prior knowledge of advanced actions and variables. The quiz element is optional but the hidden functionality is achieved with the proper labeling of your groups and objects.
