Click box loses its properties

[hannahw1987]

Twice now all the click boxes in my Captivate project have lost their properties once the project was saved. They all default to 'continue' instead of whatever they were designated to do. On both occasions I didn't notice immediately so I'm not sure what might have triggered it but now I'm worried it's going to happen again. It's costing me a LOT of time to go back and fix every click box in the project. Oddly, I have 2 copies of the project and it has only happened to one of them.

Any ideas what might be causing this to happen? I'm using Captivate 10.

Thanks in advance.

Which type of project? I ask this because in a responsive project, fluid boxes workflow, the click box is one of the objects that are not supported.

What was the original action triggered by the click box?

[hannahw1987]

It's a normal blank project, not a responsive one. The click boxes were meant to 'jump to slide xx' or 'go to next slide' and instead changed to 'continue'.

That can happen if for some reason you have hidden those slides on which the click boxes are located or the slides to which their actions were pointing.

Is it possible that at some point you may have hidden some slides?

[hannahw1987]

OH! I had no idea that hiding a slide would do that. Yes, I've hidden those slides a number of times. That explains it then. Thanks for clearing it up!

Changing to Continue happens when the original action has been rendered impossible once. That can be because you did delete or hide the slide you were pointing to, it is less evident for the action 'Go to Next Slide' however.

I had no idea hiding a slide would do that - that's what has caused it. Thank you!
