I accidentally deleted 2 slides (when I was trying to learn something new i ...) and because Im always  saving - I noticed it too late 😞

Is there a way to recover them?

If you are using the most recent version of Captivate (11.5) you should have a backup project, stored in the same folder as your project. That option is activated by default under Preferences, General Settings. If you use an older version, please activate it for future projects.

If you can find the appropriate folder in the Cache (look at the dates) you can compress that folder and it could have a previous version of the project.

You have to zip the folder, then replace the extension by cptx and try to open it. Not sure it will work, but there is some chance it will.


Thank you very much for your help!!!!
Sadly at this point the explanation of how to open the backup sounds like Chinese to me - very complex... 🙂

and i also like to open it along side to the corrent project and not to replace it....
So I am currently preparing the slides once more

 

meyby one day in the future i will come back to this 🙂

have a good day
