This worked for me:Quick Tip: How do you pause a slide in Adobe Captivate | CP Guru - Adobe Captivate WidgetsUsing a Click Box to pause a slide in Adobe Captivate:This approach is usually used when you use one of the stock Adobe Captivate Playbars in your project. The click box is a way to place a pause on a Captivate slide by using the functionality that a click box provides.Basically you insert a click box on your slide – disable the captions (success, failure and hint) – disable the “hand over cursor” and make sure that “Pause project until user clicks” is enabled. The final thing you need to do is to resize the click box and make it as small as possible and place it in an area of your slide where your user doesn’t clickThat was the only way before version 6, because shape buttons were not yet around. But if you prefer such an old method, it is up to you; It is much more work because:You need to put a click box on each slide instead of one shape button on the Main Master slideYou have to time each click box to extend its duration to the slide duration (CTRL-E)You have to take out the feedback messages.You asked 'what is the best practice'? And I answered with what I estimate to be the best practice in the more recent versions of Captivate. The shape button can be totally invisible (Alpha = 0 and strokewidth = 0) and you can make it as small as you want. But you need only one object instead of having an object on each slide. I estimate that to be a big time saver...

The quickest way for me is to insert a shape button on the Main Master slide, and have Pause activated (Options tab). The pause will be at the end of each slide based on the master slide, whatever its duration.
