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.
Choose 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.
Select a design:
Add or remove your block components:
And replace the placeholder objects with your own content.
Preview the project to see the results and interact with the widget.
If you want to see the Timeline widget in action, check out this video.

Is there a way to add audio to the nodes? When someone clicks on a node I'd like it to play a narration.

Great question. Unfortunately, you cannot add audio to any Captivate 12 widget at this time. According to my friends at Adobe, adding this capability is on the roadmap for future updates.
I encourage you to suggest adding this feature (and any other features) via the Captivate feature request form: https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate-feature-requests.
