I am using Captivate 8 and text entry boxes. What is the "On Focus Lost" option for?

I see it allows me to choose a new slide. How is this different from choosing the actions to go to a next slide?

Thanks

Technically it's an event that can be used to trigger an Action when the cursor has been located inside the TEB field and then the user clicks anywhere OUTSIDE that field.  It doesn't fire just because you move your mouse outside the field.  You have to CLICK somewhere outside the field.

On Focus lost event is when the cursor is no longer in the TEB field.
