Does this mean we should NOT download/instal https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/access-adobe-elearning-assets.html ? I mean, if you have us deleting everything that's 11_5 , won't that mean the downloadable assets file not be there anymore? Can you only have one https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/access-adobe-elearning-assets.html OR the other "Assets"-->  Discover - > <category like "Characters">" ?
