Table of Contents

Last updated 4/22/2010

Resources or 'items' are automatically added to the library when you use them in the project. However, you can also

import them into the library and use them when needed.

By default, the Library panel is displayed in all the preset workspaces of Adobe Captivate. To hide (or show) the Library

panel, select Window > Library.

The items in the library are categorized and organized in folders, such as, Audio, Images, and Media. The following

information is displayed for each item:

•

Name

•

Type

•

Size (in kilobytes)

•

Use Count, which indicates the number of items the item is used in the project.

•

Date Modified

Note: Click the title of any of these columns to sort the list of items within each folder.

Using the Library panel, you can do the following:

•

Edit the properties of the items.

•

Reuse the items within a project as well as across other Adobe Captivate projects by exporting or importing them.

•

Synchronize the items with their source files. You can also open and edit the source files directly in the supported

programs.

Import objects into the Library

You can import objects from other Adobe Captivate projects or templates into the library of your current project.

Select File > Import > External Library.

In the Open dialog box, navigate to and select the Adobe Captivate project or project template from which you want

to import objects.

Click Open.

The objects in the project or project template are added to the library of your current project.
