PowerPoint In, eLearning Out
Ever wished you could bring your PowerPoint slides directly into Captivate — and make them fully editable? Now you can!

With just a few clicks, import your PowerPoint deck into Captivate 13.0 and transform those static slides into dynamic eLearning experiences. You can edit every bit of text, image, or shape right inside Captivate — no need to go back and forth between tools. This means less time tweaking and more time creating engaging learning journeys.

Audio Support for Widgets
Adobe Captivate 13.0 takes interactivity to the next level by allowing you to add audio cues to widgets like tabs, timelines, hotspots, and drag-and-drop elements.
Now, when a learner interacts with a widget, you can provide instant audio feedback, a click, a chime, or even a short narration. This not only boosts engagement but also makes your content more accessible and immersive for all learners.

Enhancements to Shapes in Simulation Slides
Simulations just got a makeover! You can now edit shapes in simulation slides to highlight actions, give feedback, or guide learners visually.
Want to draw attention to a button or provide step-by-step hints? Add shapes for highlights, instructions, click areas, or feedback states — and customize them exactly the way you want.
It’s a small change with a big impact on clarity, accessibility, and learner experience.

Why This Release Matters
Adobe Captivate 13.0 isn’t just an update — it’s a leap toward smarter, more inclusive eLearning design. By combining AI innovation, creative flexibility, and accessibility-first design, it helps every course creator — from beginners to pros — bring their vision to life effortlessly.
So whether you’re transforming a PowerPoint deck into an interactive course, building from scratch with AI help, or enhancing simulations with sound and visuals, Adobe Captivate 13.0 gives you the power to do it all — beautifully.
