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. 19 Branching view This view appears when you click the Branching tab. The Branching view gives you a visual representation of all links between the slides in a project, and lets you quickly edit those links. The left pane contains the Properties, Overview, and Legend areas, which are all collapsible. The Properties area shows the link properties of the selected slide or link, and lets you edit the navigation type; the Overview section indicates which portion of the project you're reviewing in the main Branching pane; and the Legend section defines how each type of link between slides is displayed. The main pane displays the type of link between slides, and lets you find and select the slide you want to review. The bottom pane displays and lets you add notes for the slide selected in the main pane. The Branching view is particularly helpful when creating instructional materials containing question slides, and specifying different paths for right and wrong answers. For example, you can set one action (such as "Go to the next slide") when a user supplies a correct answer, and you can set a different action (such as "Open URL or file") when a user supplies an incorrect answer. Using the Branching view, you can easily make changes to the branching design. You can export the branching view of an existing Adobe Captivate project into a BMP, JPEG, or JPG file. About the Timeline The Timeline is a visual representation of all objects on slides. The Timeline provides an easy way to view, at a high level, all objects on a slide and their relationship to each other. With the Timeline, you can organize objects and precisely control the timing of objects. For example, on a slide that contains a caption, an image, and a highlight box, you can display the caption, then the image four seconds later, and then the highlight box two seconds after that. The Timeline also shows any audio associated with the slide or with objects on the slide, letting you easily coordinate the timing of audio with objects. You can use the Timeline to hide or lock objects easily. This is useful when a slide contains many objects and you need to edit the objects separately. About toolbars and menus In all views, the program contains menus and toolbars at the top of the program window. Context (right-click) menus are also available throughout the program. Menu bar Click a menu at the top of the program window (for example, File, Insert, or Options) to see the related menu commands. Context menus Place the mouse pointer in the pane in which you want to work. Press the right mouse button, and select a command from the menu. Toolbars Click an icon on any of the program toolbars as a shortcut to dialog boxes and actions. All of the toolbar options (for example, showing/hiding toolbars, toolbar location, and so on) for a given view are located in the View menu. Tip: For maximum editing space, open a project and click F11 to display Adobe Captivate in fullscreen edit mode. 20 Chapter 2: Exploring the Workspace
