Changing the order of object layers

The Timeline shows all objects on a slide, such as click boxes, text captions, highlight boxes, mouse movement,
and audio. The objects on a slide are displayed as stacked bars in the right pane of the Timeline. If any objects on
the slide overlap other objects on the slide, it is important to set their stacking order on the Timeline to control
what objects appear in front of others.
To change the order of object layers on the Timeline:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
Double-click on a slide that contains objects.
2
Show the Timeline by clicking the splitter bar. To expand the Timeline, click the display arrow. If the timeline

is not displayed, select View > Show Timeline.
Move the mouse over one of the objects on the Timeline until the hand appears and drag the object up or down

to reposition it.
If you have two objects that overlap on the slide, you need to select the object you want to appear in front by

setting the stacking order. Changing the stacking order consists of moving objects to the back and front of the slide
"stage. " The key point to remember is that objects at the back of the stage appear behind other objects. Use one of
the following methods to set the stacking order.
•
In Edit view, right-click an object on the slide and select one of the object order options. If necessary, right-click
other objects on the slide and adjust their order.
This option brings the selected object to the top. When the project plays, the object appears on
