Captivate Training simulation, explaining how to use a shared action to recreate much used variables in a project. It also shows how a shared action can be used as template for a slightly different advanced actions or even for a new shared action.
Intro
I’m not sure that a Captivate tutorial is welcome, when it is about a Captivate feature. It is a bit strange, because my primary goal was to explain how to embed software simulation slides in a cptx-project in such a way that some more information can be added to the sim slides. For that goal I needed a new software simulation with HTML5 output. I created one about a less-known feature of Shared actions: how to use an imported action to avoid creating variables over and over again, and how to use a shared action as starting point for an advanced action.
Have a look at this tutorial in its original resolution (1600x900px). It has narration, no CC:
Next?
Look out for the alternative project, where I used the workflow for embedding the sim slides in content slides. I use a ‘Knockout Master slide’ for the purpose.
Completing the trilogy I will explain the workflow to create and use such a master slide with a step-by-step workflow (in a blog post).
Hello Lieve,
I`m looking for legacy captivate interaction : Puzzle, accelerometer… If you can share will be appreciated. Thanks.

What is the link with this blog, please? Why do you expect me to provide you with any interaction based on this article?
Originally I just wanted to update the workflow for that master slide, there are some tips which are different from the original blog post, 10 years ago. I had to fix some steps which did lead to problems in the present version. But when I finished this software simulation, thought it was worthwhile to post it as well. So many users completely ignore Shared actions, which is saddening.
Completing the trilogy I will explain the workflow to create and use such a master slide with a step-by-step workflow (in a blog post).
^^ Looking forward to this!!
