USING CAPTIVATE
Workspace
Last updated 9/28/2011
Using the Library panel, you can do the following:
• Edit the properties of the items.
• Reuse the items within a project as well as across other Adobe Captivate projects by exporting or importing them.
• Synchronize the items with their source files. You can also open and edit the source files directly in the supported
programs.
Import objects into the Library
You can import objects from other Adobe Captivate projects or templates into the library of your current project.
1 Select File > Import > External Library.
2 In the Open dialog box, navigate to and select the Adobe Captivate project or project template from which you want
to import objects.
3 Click Open. The external library panel appears.
4 Drag-and-drop the required items from the external library panel to the current project’s library.
Customizing the workspace
You can create a custom workspace by rearranging and resizing document windows and panels. You can save the
customized workspaces and switch between them.
Rearrange document windows
When you open more than one file, the Document windows are tabbed. To rearrange the tabbed Document windows,
drag and drop the window’s tab to the new location.
Move panels
• To move a panel, drag it by its tab.
• To move a panel group, drag the title bar.
As you drag the panels, you see blue highlighted drop zones, areas where you can drop the panels. If you drag to an
area that is not a drop zone, the panel floats freely in the workspace.
Note: The position of the mouse pointer, rather than the position of the panel, activates the drop zone.
Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while moving a panel to prevent it from docking. Press Esc while
moving the panel to cancel the operation.
Dock and undock panels
A dock is a collection of panels or panel groups displayed together, generally in a vertical orientation. You dock and
undock panels by moving them into and out of a dock.
• To dock a panel, drag it by its tab into the dock, at the top, bottom, or in between other panels.
• To dock a panel group, drag it by its title bar (the solid empty bar above the tabs) into the dock.
• To remove a panel or panel group from a dock, drag it out of the dock by its tab or title bar. You can also drag it
into another dock or make it free-floating.
