Captivate 2017: Quiz Results Slide: How to restore default settings.

  • August 2, 2019

I made a mistake and removed some of the buttons on the bottom of the quiz results slide, and now I can't figure out how to get them back. I did this and saved the content, and apparently even changed some sort of default setting.

Is there a way to get the default quiz results slide back?

In the Properties, I can see the Master Slide configuration I want, but re-selecting it doesn't reapply the formats I want.

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    I am posting to an LMS. That must explain it.


    No need for the Post Result button in that case. The Continue button will trigger the Pass or Fail action, once the last frame of the results slide is reached. You should read my series about Quizzes.

    Applying a new master slide may reset all the objects that have been removed. This worked for me.

    Hi Lilybiri, I’ve apparently really screwed something up, because I have replaced the Layouts directory (twice now).

    I created a new blank project, applied the white layout, downloaded today.

    Created a question slide, which generated the results slide. Somehow I still have some default setting that tells Adobe to only use certain master slide buttons on the results slide. I did try Reset Master Slide on the new results slide – it does nothing. I can’t figure out how to get them back. See all screen shots below. The buttons exist in the slide Master view.

    Bit confusing question: where did you 'delete' objects from the results slide? Is it on a results slide, then use the option 'Reset Master Slide' in the properties panel. But some settings cna be turned off as well by check boxes.

    Maybe you should show a screenshot. Tell also which theme you are using, because master slides are part of the theme in case you did mess up the masgter slide itself.

    The quiz results slide I have is as follows. I changed the "continue" to "exit and record score" to try to get the functionality I wanted, but it doesn't work.  The rest of the fields are exactly what I want. The Master Slide shows up as you see in the second screen print. Clicking Reset Master Slide is what I thought I should do, but it does nothing. How do I get back to the format of the Master Slide?

    I even tried creating a new blank project based on a totally different template, and I still can't get the Master Slide that is screen printed at the bottom, to show up.

    When I go to the Master Slide View, I see the quiz results slide I want to have show up in my final content.

    You really messed up the master silde in that case. Is the theme you are using one of themes packaged with Captivate, which version do you use? Please. You always have to be very careful with quiz and score slides because they have embedded objects with functinoality. I have written dedicated posts about quizzes... can post some links. But first we need to get the correct master slide back. Will be easy to reset the theme if it is a Captivate theme.
