Where is the Object Style Manager in Captivate 13?
Currently looking at Captivate 13 using an existing Captivate 2019 project to understand the UI etc. In 2019 there is an Object Style Manager is used to edit dialog boxes etc. Where is this feature in Captivate 13? Also, how do you edit and remove the feedback messages such as “Correct – Click anywhere or press “Y”| to continue”

Hi Robert,
In Adobe Captivate 13, we have Themes. Themes help your project look better with coordinated colors, fonts, slide backgrounds, and appearance for UI components. Refer to the User Guide and YouTube video for your reference:

To edit/remove feedback messages, go to edit > preferences > Quizzing > Default labels
NOTE: Make sure that the changes need to be done at the beginning of the project before creating Quiz slides.
Thanks,

Sorry for my late reply to this issue. I don’t want to edit the Default labels I want to stop them from being displayed as they are not compatible with the nature of the course and its content. I have sent an email to Support TCS. However, here is what I have sent
am attempting to recreate Adobe Captivate 2019 (ACT 2019) projects in Adobe Captivate (ACT13)13.0
In ACT 2019 to prevent the quiz captions such as “Congratulations You have Passed the Quiz” being displayed, you drag the caption(s) from the slide area into the scratch area. When the project is previewed the quiz captions in the scratch area are therefore not displayed as expected. I am unable to replicate the same action in ACT13.
In ACT13, in Visual Properties >Components there is a “caption” checkbox. I assume that when this checkbox is “unchecked” the Quiz Captions are not displayed. I cannot find on ACT User Help to confirm these actions.
This checkbox is not selectable and remains dimmed no matter if Show or Hide (button) modes are selected. The actual Quiz Captions do actually respond as selected by the Show / Hide button in ACT design mode. Even though the Quiz Captions are hidden in design mode, when the project is previewed, the Quiz Captions are displayed, I believe this is because the “caption” checkbox is permanently “checked”(active). Therefore it is impossible to remove the quiz captions.
The “SUBMIT” button on each question slide has to be clicked twice, once for submission of the answer and the second to comply with the “click anywhere to continue” action. If the Quiz Captions were disabled, by unchecking the Visual Properties >Components >“caption” checkbox, then I assume the SUBMIT button would only need a single click action to continue the quiz, as I have set up in my projects in ACT 2019.
Thank you for your assistance

Hi Bob,
You cannot disable the default labels but you can hide the default labels to appear on the screen by using color.
PFA the recording for your reference.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I discovered that you can use colour to hide the default caption as a “workaround” but the “X” in the top right-hand corner still appears. Also, you still have to click a button twice to progress through the quiz, which may be unsettling to a student take a graded quiz. Surely 13.0 can be programmed like Captivate 2019 to disable default captions?
In addition, please see above in reference to ACT13 Visual Properties >Components “caption” checkbox.
Hi Bob,
You cannot uncheck the “Caption”. You can only show/hide the caption. You can share feedback for this if you feel an enhancement is required here. Open CP > Go to help menu > Click on Provide Feedback

The captions do not hide. If the captions are hidden using the “Show / Hide” button the captions still show when the project is previewed. Surely if the captions are set “Hide” they should not appear in preview. The “caption” checkbox is permanently disabled, what is it there for if not to enable/disable the captions. I reiterate, surely 13.0 can be programmed like Captivate 2019 to disable default captions by being able to check and uncheck the “captions checkbox?
The quiz captions cannot be hidden using the “Show/Hide” button. When set to “Hide” the quiz captions are displayed when published preview. The quiz caption checkbox is permanently disabled – why?
Hi Bob,
Show/Hide option is there for the caption to show on the slide in Captivate. By default, it will show on the preview. You can only edit the feedback captions. If you want to hide it, you have to use the workaround I shared previously by using color.
Thanks,

Thank you Shashank. This workaround is a backward step for what is supposed to be a new version of Captivate. The Show/Hide does not show/hide the Quiz captions, they are shown whether show/hide is selected, so what is the point of Show/Hide. Again I ask why the caption checkbox is permanently disabled (greyed out), from what I can see it serves no purpose other than confuse the project developer. Given the need for my projects to have no Quiz captions displayed in publish/preview, this version of Captivate does not work for me and I will have to continue with CP 2019 that does give me the functions that I need. I have fed back this annoying issue/ feature to Adobe in hope that the Quiz caption functionality in 2019 can be replicated in 13.
