How do you import a custom theme in Captivate 9?

Hello!

Can anyone advise me how to import a custom theme in Captivate 9?

Adobe's current documentation appears to be out of date:

Working with themes in Adobe Captivate

The only place where themes can be chosen seems to be the Skin Editor, and it offers no option for opening a CTPM file.

If you have saved your custom theme CPTM to this folder:

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

Then you should see it listed when you click the Themes button.

If not, you should be able to use the Browse button that is accessed from the Themes panel to navigate to your CPTM.

Just a small correction: even if you save a custom theme in the folder that Rod indicates, it no longer appears automatically in the thumbnail dialog box under the Big Button Themes (it used to do so in CP8, not anymore, at least not for me in CP9, nor 9.0.1). You always have to browse for custom themes with the indicated button. Bit annoying...
