Overview
Adobe Captivate offers a comprehensive set of preference settings that allow authors to customize their projects and workflows. By configuring these preferences before starting a project, authors can create well-structured, efficient, and learner-friendly eLearning experiences.
Key benefits:
- Customization: Authors can tailor projects to meet specific requirements, ensuring consistency and alignment with organizational standards.
 - Efficiency: Predefined preferences streamline the authoring process, saving time and effort.
 - Enhanced user experience: Settings like autoplay, navigation buttons, and quiz feedback improve the learner's experience. 
 - LMS integration: Reporting preferences ensure seamless tracking and delivery of eLearning content via SCORM-compliant LMS platforms. 
 - Generative AI integration: Generative AI capabilities speed up content creation, making the process more innovative and engaging. 
 
Default locations: When you install Adobe Captivate for the first time, the default locations to save your project and project cache are Documents (macOS) and My Documents (Windows).
- Location: If you don't want the default location to save your projects, set a new location.
 - Project Cache: The Project cache in Adobe Captivate helps you save and open projects faster. Captivate creates a project cache folder when you create a project. This folder is saved in the project cache root folder that you've specified in the project Preferences. Over time, these cache folders may use up your system resources, and you may want to delete the folders to optimize the resources. You can delete the folders using the Clear Cache option.
 
Slide duration: Change the default time for which slides are displayed in a project when the project is previewed or published.
Audio input device: Select the device you'll use for recording and narration.
Audio Virtual Driver: Select the virtual driver for Mac machines.
Audio input calibration: Select to calibrate audio levels for recording. Audio calibration makes sure that all the speakers' levels are balanced. It's critical for accurate sound that none of the speakers is too loud or soft.
