Set up Exit button with text box for simulation

New Here ,
Jul 28, 2020 Jul 28, 2020

I'm a relatively new user to Captivate and need some help with the following:

 

I created a software simulation and need to add an Exit button so if users want to leave the course before completion, they can. As part of this, when the Exit button is clicked, I need a text box to appear saying - are you sure you want to exit the course - and then have the corresponding options set up to either go back to the course or exit.

 

Any advice on how to do this would be appreciated.

For the 'Exit' button, create a a short advanced action with these commands:
