I can't find anything about it now, but I have a recollection of having read someone talking about a similar problem before, so in case anyone else here has seen it...
I have a presentation with slide notes, from which I've used text-to-speech to generate narration audio. I rendered a draft version of the presentation as a SCORM object on our LMS, and then let the captivate file sit for a while.
The next time I opened it to make revisions, one of the slides had had its slide notes changed to match the notes of the next slide (so the original notes from slide N are gone, and slides N and N+1 now have the same notes). The generated narration is still there, and matches the original, now missing, notes so I know I'm not just crazy.
The file is on a Google Drive share and has been edited by a co-worker who added some quiz questions, but we were careful to never have the file open simultaneously, and manipulating slide notes in Captivate can be pretty clunky, such that I don't think there's any way the notes could have been swapped by a person on accident.
So, has anyone else seen this behavior like this? Is it a known issue, and has any guidance been found for avoiding it?

I have seen this issue before but not for several years. It usually happened if the user had been copying and pasting slides rather than duplicating slides. The pasted slide somehow retains a link to the Slide Notes and Closed Caption text of the original slide it was copied from. The only fix I found was to delete the child slide and recreate it again in order to get rid of the linkage.
