I’ve been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005, specializing in the creation of interactive and engaging learning experiences. In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence. I’m proud to be part of the Adobe eLearning Community, sharing knowledge, collaborating with other developers, and contributing to the growth of this platform.

As far as I know, you cannot change the action associated with a button in the built-in playbar. However, you can create a button that jumps back 15 seconds. Once you have created your button, write a brief advanced action with the following actions:

Expression cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume = cpInforCurrentFrame – 450

(450 is 15 x 30 frames per second).
