Add a question slide as an overlay

Hi all!

I am trying to create an interactive video that uses question slides as the overlay slides in Captivate 12.5. I added a bookmark to trigger the overlay. However, when I pressed "Add overlay", my question slide didn't show in the section where I can choose which slide as an overlay. Is there any other way I can add my question slide as an overlay for a slide video?

    I suspect the question slide is set to 'graded'. The only type of question slide that can be used as an overlay is a "Knowledge Check" (a question that isn't included in the quiz scoring). 

     

    To change the question type:

    1. Select the question slide in the Slide Panel
    2. make sure Visual Properties is selected (it's the top icon on the bar on the far-right of the Captivate interface).
    3. Select the drop-down arrow for the Slide type at the top
    4. Select Knowledge Check

     

    Now, when you go back to the video slide and try to add an overlay, the question slide will appear.
