About creating branching in Adobe Captivate projects
Branching is an important concept in creating effective e-learning materials. Branching
(sometimes called “contingency branching”) means that the path a learner takes through the
program is determined by responses made to questions. It is an excellent method of
individualizing learning materials. Branching may be made on the basis of correct answers to a
question, wrong answers to a question, an option selected by the learner, or based on the learner's
experience, job category, level, or any other category.

You can create smart and sophisticated branching in your Adobe Captivate projects. The
following are a few easy ways to add branching to a project. All of these options include the
capability to score the results so they can be used individually or in combination with each other.
Also, Adobe Captivate project slides can contain multiple objects, so, for example, you could add
a click box on a menu item and a button on a toolbar.

Create question slides and specify different paths for right and wrong answers. This is the most
straightforward method of adding branching. You have many options for answer paths
including continuing the project, going to a specific slide, or opening a URL. Adobe Captivate
also makes it easy to add an error message for wrong answers and a retry message such as
“please try again.”
