How to share the project I made in Captivate

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to publish a project I made in Captivate. I'd like to be able to send the link to others via email or save in on our Shared Drive for others to view- is this possible? I have tried many times to publish to computer and chose HTML5. It saves it in all these different folders and then is not viewable. When I view YouTube videos and the documentation that Adobe has, it says to publish to devices and then choose HTML. I have Captivate 2019, however my publish to device options looks different than the tutorials. It asks for a username and password. I've tried my credentials and it does not work. Please help! I've been tasked with learning this software on my own and my IT department does not support Captivate. Thank you.

HTML output is like a website. That means that the best way to share that output is to upload it to a webserver. It is then possible to launch using the index.html file which is included in the output folder. Here is an example of such a link, to a recent tutorial (which I used as example in a blog):

The output folder (PoolReview) was uploaded to my domain, to a subfolder which I use as webserver. Click the link and you'll see the output.

Since you are on a responsive project, you may see a different dialog box when publishing than what you have seen on some videos which may have been for a non-responsive project. How it will look depends on the device, and how you did set up the fluid boxes. You can only publish to HTML. The top of the dialog box will look like this:
