Undoing And Redoing Actions; Changing Capture Keys - Adobe CAPTIVATE 2-USING CAPTIVATE Use Manual

Undoing and redoing actions

You can reverse the previous action by using the Undo command. You can also reverse the action
of the Undo command by using the Redo command.
To undo an action:
•
From the Edit menu, select Undo or press Control+Z.
Each click reverses one more action. Continue clicking Undo (or pressing Control+Z) to
remove as many of the previous changes as necessary.
Tip: When the Undo command is unavailable (dimmed), you cannot undo the previous action.
Tip: Adobe Captivate tracks actions from the time you open a project until the time you close the
project. Therefore, you can undo as many times as you need to, as long as the project remains open.
To redo an action:
•
After you have used the Undo command, from the Edit menu, select Redo or press Control+Y.
