I have loaded my lesson into Captivate Prime, and using myself as a sample student, I can access it and everything, however, the loaded lesson does not have the navigation buttons at the bottom. When I created the lesson in Captivate, the navigation buttons appear at the bottom in preview. These aren't buttons I added myself, but buttons that Captivate automatically added with the template. These are completely gone when I load it into Prime. Help?? Thank you.

I have a related, but opposing question. How can I publish a HTML5 project without the navigation bar (progress and buttons) being part of the product?

I am trying to get modules and courses uploaded in Adobe Prime and have discovered this issue where the playbar is not displayed.  Is what I'm seeing true?  We published captivate files using Adobe 9 and HTML5.  We deliberately used HTML5 so it can be played on any device.  Are you really telling me the playbar is stripped out?  The users don't have a back button to go back slide by slide.  We are not going to swf.  Please tell me that there is a setting in Prime to adjust this rather than having to add a back button on every slide in 22 modules.  There are over a thousand slides to touch.  We are on a very tight timeline to get this done.

In addition, there is a bar at the bottom of the player that allows the learner to move forward through the slides without reading every slide.  We deliberately set up the modules so that the user has to go through every slide.  They have to perform a click or text entry to proceed.  This is another major issue.  Is there a setting in captivate that would be honored in Prime that is other than the click zones that says the user must go through each slide?

Hi Katherine,

I would like to inform you that Captivate Playbar will not be visible in Prime if you will publish to PRIME in HTML 5 . This is as designed.

In regards to your second query I would suggest you to keep the completion criteria for the module as 100 % slide views in Captivate or in PRIME. By this setting even if the learner skip the slide using Fluidic player progress bar the course will not be recorded as completed in PRIME unless the learner view all the slides.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mayank

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

If you are publishing content from Captivate 9 in HTML format, Prime does not show up Captivate playbar navigation options but provides its own playbar at the bottom.

Going forward you will see all navigation options available in CP to be supported in Prime playbar. Also, Prime will be able to provide you more advanced features like bookmarking, notes etc.

If you publish the content as SWF or HTML from non-CP9 versions, you will see the playbar and navigation buttons which you are expecting.

Hi there, thank you for responding. Yes, I'm publishing from CP 9. I actually do see the bar that you are talking about. It has stop, rewind, and go forward buttons....however, only the stop button is active. I can see the rewind and forward buttons, however, they are disabled. Do you know why this would be and how I can fix it? Thank you.

Hi Tanya,

The back and forward buttons in the Prime playbar are for navigating through multiple modules in a course


Thanks,
