Adobe Captivate 12 (2023): The Timeline Widget

In the spirit of learner engagement and interactivity, you're going to love the widgets you'll find in Adobe Captivate 2023 (also known as Captivate 12). Over the next couple of weeks, I'll show you how to use the widgets in a project.

First up: the Timeline widget.

Open or create a Captivate project and insert a blank slide.

From the icons at the left, click Add new widget.

Add New Widget

Choose Timeline widget.

Timeline-Widget

The widget is added to the slide with placeholder content.

On the Visual Properties panel, change the number of timeline objects by moving the Number of nodes slider to as few as 2 and to as many as 6.

Timeline-nodes

Select a design:

Timeline-design

Add or remove your block components:

Timeline-block-components

And replace the placeholder objects with your own content.

Timeline-done

Preview the project to see the results and interact with the widget.
