Why I Love Shared Actions since over 4 years!

Intro Shared actions were a new feature in Captivate 7 several years ago. They were improved with Captivate 8.  I never understood why almost no one talks about them, even self-labeled experts seem never to use them.

I would use “advanced actions” for the navigation controls I would put at the beginning of my course and display for the rest of the project. One problem is that you can’t have items displayed for rest of project and contained in a non-static fluid […]
