Introducing Myself and a question re: Captivate 2017 vs. Captivate 9

Hi everyone,

I just started a job where I will be using Captivate 9. I'm new to elearning tools, but not to Adobe products (PS, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, Dreamweaver). 

 

I haven't been able to find much in the way of instructional guides or tutorials for version 9, so I wonder how much difference is there between the two? If I use the 2017 tutorials will they be easily applicable to version 9?

 

Thanks!

 

Marie

    There are a lot of tutorials around for 9 as well.

    What about looking at the release notes, to see what is new in 2017?  I wrote this article a while ago to show some new features:

    All depends on whcih type of project you'll be creating. Big changes are for the new Fluid Boxes development work flow (responsieve projects) and for the Advanced Actions dialog box. Typeikt integration is not included in CP9. Be sure to use 9.0.2.437 which is the latest release. You will not be able to open CP2017 projects in CP9.

    Thanks! I just found out this morning that I will be getting CP2017, since my company was out of licenses for 9.
