Adding Click Boxes to Simulation Slides in New Captivate 2023

Hi everyone!

I am trying to use the new 2023 release of Captivate for a software simulation. In Classic, I can add Click Boxes, which cause the slide to pause or not move on to the next slide until after the user clicks in that area of the screen. I can't figure out how to do this in the new Captivate. Is this still a feature?

    If you capture in Training or Assessment mode, those click boxes are added automatically like in previous versions. They'll do exactly the same as you describe. But a click box is not an object available in the new version (is deprecated), except during the capture process. Sorry... bit confusing. Personally I keep to Captivate Classic for software simulations.

    Ah, I see my problem! I recorded it as a Demo instead of a Training.

     

    From experiementing, it looks like Demo gets you highlight boxes, instructions (i.e. call out boxes or text boxes) and mouse pointer, but no click box. Recording as a Training or Assessment gets you click boxes, but no highlight boxes, instructions or mouse pointer.

     

    This is very limiting and, as someone who has only used Captivate in the past because its software simulation is easier, I am extermely disapointed.
