Captivate 8 - how to restore original themes?  I mistakenly wrote over one of the original themes, and no longer have it.

Themes are in two folders. You are using the themes stored in the folder 'Layouts' under eLearning assets in the Public documents (for Win users) or Shared (for Mac). For me (I'm on Win) this is the path:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\Layouts\9_0

That folder is a copy of the original folder, which you can find in the Gallery, Layouts which is in the installation folder of Captivate. You can delete the Layouts folder in the Public (or Shared) documents, while Captivate is closed. When restarting Captivate, the original folder from the Gallery will be copied to that location again. Same can happen with other folders.

Some of these explanations are in this blog post: Captivate 8.0.1 Install? Keep your Customisation! - Captivate blog
