Why does Captivate 12.6 crash and corrupt the file every time I try to customize the Click-to-Reveal widget on Mac OS?

    Hi @shreya_9606 

    Can you perform the following steps:

    1. ou maybe required to clean preferences for Captivate. Begin by quitting the application. 

    2. Go to the e-learning assets folder on your system:

      • For Windows: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe
      • For macOS: /Users/<user>/Documents/Adobe
    3. Rename the folder to eLearning Assets_old.

    4. Go to the following path:

      • For Windows - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate\utils
      • For macOS - /Applications/Adobe Captivate/utils/CleanPreferencesMac/CleanPreferencesMac
    5. Select the appropriate CleanPreferences file for your operating system (macOS or Windows), depending on the machine you are using.
