If you’re using the new version of Adobe Captivate, there’s good news.
The 2026 edition of Adobe Captivate: The Essentials and Beyond has just been updated to include the latest Captivate 13.1 enhancements—so you can stay current without guessing what’s changed or how to use it.
What’s New in This Update?
The updated book adds practical, hands-on content focused on features developers are asking about right now:
Upgrade Your Classic Projects
If you’ve got legacy content, you don’t have to start over. New lessons walk you through how to bring Captivate Classic projects into the new Captivate, so you can reuse what you’ve already built and modernize your workflow.
Master the New Slider Widget
The slider widget opens the door to interactive surveys and learner input. The new content shows you exactly how it works, how to configure it, and how to use it effectively in real-world projects.
Bonus: Branding Blocks Activities
Consistency matters. The book now includes bonus, hands-on activities that teach you how to use branding blocks to add headers, footers, and a polished, consistent look across your project.
Same Project-Based Learning—With the Latest Features Built In
If you’ve used my books before, you know the approach:
no fluff, no theory overload—just step-by-step, project-based learning.
You’ll still build a complete, real-world project from the ground up while learning how the new features fit into your workflow. The difference is that now, everything is aligned with Captivate 13.1.
