About using project templates

After you have created a project in Adobe Captivate, you can save the project as a project template. This can save
you time and help you maintain consistency. You can reuse the template numerous times and ensure that all of
your projects have the same framework.
For example, if you spend a great deal of time making a project exactly the way you want it with custom playback
controls, an introductory slide featuring your organization's logo, a closing slide that shows your website, and the
precise size to show the project in your application, you can save the project as a template and use it as a base for
all projects you create in the future. You can produce projects faster and they will all have the same appearance.
Note: Templates are particularly effective if you have specific project preferences you want to use repeatedly. Simply
create a blank project, set preferences, save the blank project as a template following the steps in the next section, and
then create a new project with the template.
Creating project templates
It is easy to save any project you have created as a template.
