Workspace overview

You create movies and projects in Adobe Captivate using various elements, such as, panels, bars, and windows. A
specific arrangement of these elements is called a Workspace.
Adobe Captivate provides preset workspaces that help you get started quickly. You can also customize the workspace
by arranging the elements in a way that suits your requirements.
