7 Chapter 2: Exploring the workspace Adobe® Captivate™ is designed so that you can create a project easily. The following is an overview of the Adobe Captivate work environment. About Adobe Captivate views Adobe Captivate has three main views: Storyboard, Edit (with the Thumbnail), and Branching. Click the view tabs at the top of the project window, or press Control+Tab to navigate between views. Each view features a window at the bottom of the screen where you can view, add, and edit notes about individual slides in your project. Storyboard view This view appears when you open a project from the Start page. The project opens with small images representing the slides that constitute the project. Storyboard view provides an easy way to see all of the slides within a project at a glance. It also enables you to see the flow of the project. You can change the properties of multiple slides at the same time: to select multiple slides, hold down the Shift or Control key while clicking on slides; to select all slides, press Control+A. Edit view This view appears when you double-click a slide in Storyboard or Branching view. After recording an Adobe Captivate project, you will probably spend most of your time in Edit view because this is the view in which you add objects (such as captions, images, click boxes, video, and audio). Using this view, you can make many changes to a slide, such as altering the mouse movement and changing the mouse pointer. In Edit view, you can see the Library, which lists media items in a project and lets you view and reuse the images, backgrounds, audio, and animation in your project. Also, Edit view contains the optional Filmstrip, Timeline, and Notes panels.
