Previewing a slide using the playhead

The playhead moves through the Timeline to indicate how the currently displayed slide appears in the project.
When a slidelet is selected, the timeline corresponds to that for the slidelet. It is a quick and efficient way to
preview a single slide and check object timing. The Timeline header shows time, in seconds (1s for 1 second, 2s
for 2 seconds, and so on), so you see exactly when objects appear.
To preview a slide using the playhead:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
