Displaying confirmation messages

Displaying confirmation messages

Confirmation messages appear when you perform important, and often permanent, actions in 
Adobe Captivate. The confirmation messages give you one more opportunity to change your 
mind when deleting information or changing key attributes. If you find that certain messages are 
not necessary for the way you work or are slowing down your development time, you might want 
to disable confirmation messages for actions that you perform frequently.

To display or not display confirmation messages:

1.

Open an Adobe Captivate project.

2.

From the Options menu, select Preferences.

3.

Select the actions you want to confirm, and/or remove the check mark from actions you do not 
want to confirm.

■

Delete object 

Displays a message before an object is removed.

■

Delete slide 

Displays a message before a slide is removed.

■

Project resize 

Displays a message before a project is resized. (Resizing a project is an 

action that cannot be “undone,” so it is a good idea to display a confirmation message for 
this action.)

■

Video quality change 

Displays a message before the quality of a slide is changed.

■

Remove audio 

Displays a message before audio is deleted.

■

Cancel audio changes 

Displays a message before canceling any audio changes (for 

example, adjusting volume, cutting and pasting sections, and so on).

■

Check audio input levels 

Displays a message before changing audio input levels (for 

microphones or recording devices).

■

Frame rate change 

Select this option to have a confirmation message appear before 

changing the frame rate.

■

FLA export instructions 

Select this option to have a confirmation message appear when 

exporting an Adobe Captivate project into Flash.

■

Publish overwrite files 

Select this option to have a confirmation message appear when 

publishing files to the same location more than once. (For example, you publish to Flash 
and create a SWF file stored in a particular location. If you publish to Flash again, creating a 
SWF file and saving it to the same location, a confirmation message will display asking if 
you want to overwrite the existing file.)

■

Change audio 

Displays a message while recording, importing, or adding new audio to a 

slide with existing audio.

■

Extend item 

Displays a message if you add audio to an object when the audio’s duration is 

longer than the object’s duration.

■

Remove item from Library 

Displays a message when you delete an item from the Library.

■

Sharing of audio 

Displays a message when you change an audio that is used on another 

slide.

■

Duplicating of audio 

Displays a message when you add an audio that is already on another 

slide.
