Hi Alka,

You get the option to add shapes in CP 13.1 after import PowerPoint slides.

Please refer to this document: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/captivate/help/work-with-shapes-on-imported-slides.html

Hi Alka,

You get the option to add shapes once you import Powerpoint in All new Adobe Captivate 13.1.

Please refer to this document: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/captivate/help/work-with-shapes-on-imported-slides.html

Please refer to this video: https://youtu.be/moOz6F6fP3A?si=MiMDrQOxv1Cq9DsJ

Hi,

first let me say, “Adobe Captivate 13.3” ?! That’s new to me, I think the most recent version is still 13.1, or am I wrong?
However. Adding shapes is only available if you import a Powerpoint file or a Captivate Classic file (as long as it is not a former responsive project with Fluid Boxes). Then you get an “Add Shapes” menu item in the media menu on the left. I’ll try to add an image to illustrate.
You can add and use shapes on slides as long as they are either Powerpoint slides (marked with a red P) or Classic Captivate slides (marked with green CpC). But on this kind of slides the menu items for Interactive components, Branding blocks and Widgets are not working.
On regular All New Captivate slides you have to use the weirdly unusable Add media blocks/SVG option and create your SVG-shapes outside of Cp.
