Error message: Something went wrong while content block insertion

To work efficiently, I'm copying and pasting the blocks within a slide as well as between multiple slides. This saves me time from having to change the template/design and helps maintain a more streamlined look throughout the presentation. However, I keep encountering an error message and I'm not sure how to remedy it. I've already restarted Captivate twice, but the issue persists. Do you have any advice on how to resolve this?

    I am getting this same error when attempting to access most of the widgets or assets or even when creating a new slide from the Content Slides.  I have just downloaded Captivate.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall and still have the same error.  Using Window.  After several attempts to add these, Captivate crashes everytime

    Which exact version number of 12 do you use? You find it under About Captivate.

    Hi @Arya S. Sorry to hear about the error message. Can you try these steps?

    1. Delete the eLearning Assets folder in /Users/Shared/Adobe (on Mac) or 
      C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe (on Win)
    2. Run the file CleanPreferencesMac or CleanPreferencesWin in Adobe Captivate > utils > CleanPreferencesMac or CleanPreferencesWin

    Let us know if you're still facing the issues after applying the steps.

    Hi @Saurav_Ghosh, Thank you for your response. I went ahead and deleted the eLearning Assets folder but was unable to run the file CleanPreferencesMac (I'm using a Mac) as I wasn't able to locate the utils folder (it didn't exist when I searched for it). And yes, I am still facing the error code issue. Please advise next steps?

    Try reinstaling Captivate.

    Worked like charm for me ... without running the cleanpreferences-utilities.

    Copying and pasting Captivate's own content into the same project or even other projects of the same version should not cause errors.

     

    I suggest you log this as a bug with Adobe.
