Custom Software Simulation, Resizing, and Master Slide Templates in New Captivate

Hi team,

I’m exploring the new Adobe Captivate for building a custom software simulation, and I have a few questions:

  1. Custom Software Simulation:
    In Captivate Classic (.cptx), I’m able to fully customize the simulation—layout, captions, interactions, timing, etc.
    → Is it possible to build the same level of custom, step-by-step software simulation in the new Captivate?
    → Can I control individual elements on each step the same way?

  2. Resizing the Recorded Screen:
    In Classic, we usually capture the full screen and then resize the project, adding extra space at the bottom to place text/instructions (like padding).
    → Is this resizing workflow possible in the new Captivate?
    → Can we add extra canvas space after recording to recreate that layout?

  3. Master Slide Templates:
    I’m unable to find an option to create or edit Master Slides in the new Captivate.
    → Are Master Slide templates supported?
    → If yes, where do I create/modify them?
    → If not, is there an alternative way to standardize design across all screens?

Any guidance or documentation links would be really helpful.
Thanks!
