Question

captivate 9 bulletin widget

i like the bulletin widget, but wondering if there's a way to customize (or remove) the "project bullets" and "slide bullets" tab headings. There doesn't seem to be any explanation of this widget and it's odd that the tabs are not customizable (unless I'm missing something). Thanks!

    Does anyone know if Adobe ever fixed (or will fix) the bug with the defunct Slide Bullets feature? Based on this, it appears these features do not get QA'd before they go out the door.

    Please, can you explain what you mean by 'Slide Bullets' feature? This thread is about the Bulletin Learning Interaction, what is the link with your question? If it is about something else than the learning interaction, could you start a new thread and give some more details, maybe screenshots?

    Hi Lilybiri - please refer to the OP, they inserted a screenshot dipicting that feature. It is an additional tab (located to the right of the project bullets tab). Looks like I might be the first person to catch this?

    It's a sore point.  Adobe creates brilliant software, but their documentation about how to actually use that software could certainly be better. 

    But then in a previous life as a Technical Author for software companies I (like Dilbert) quickly discovered that Tina the Techwriter is the least loved and respected person in the entire company. 

    Programmers believe people buy software for the new features they get, NOT for the documentation.  If you want better documentation, you need to be logging enhancement requests targeted at this area.

    Thanks Rob. I'll look into an enhancement request.

    The lack of documentation not only for the learning interactions but for the application itself leads to a lot of frustrations. As Rod points out, it is considered to be low priority and Adobe relies on free documentation provided by users in blogs, videos etc.  I wonder if someone could ever calculate how many $ or € are lost that way
