Advanced actions and images

I am creating a "fake" demo of a program that our company uses.  I have an image that needs to appear on 100+ slides when you click a click box and then disappear when you click another click box. Can this be done without renaming each image and creating multiple advanced actions?

Example: See the slide: click address: image of an address box appears: click x to close address image and see original slide.

I am using captivate 8

You cannot attach files, you need to insert screenshots as images using the camera icon in the toolbar:

Why click boxes? That means indeed that you need to copy/paste them on each slide. Forget about them and use this work flow:

  1. Put the image on the first slide, time it for the rest of the project, always on top. Then hide it in output (eye icon in the Properties panel top left). It will have a unique ID, will call it 'Im_One'
  2. Replace your click boxes by shape buttons on the first slide, that you time as well for the rest of the project. Alternative is to put them on the main master slide. Be sure not to overlap with other interactive objects on the individual slides.
  3. Create an advanced or shared (better if you want to reuse this a lot) action for each of the shape buttons, where you hide or show the image. You can even create one toggle button, if you use a conditional action and a tracking user variable v_visib
