Build a Lesson Menu with Hidden Quiz Button Button in Adobe Captivate

In this video, I show you how you can build a lesson menu slide with a hidden quiz button in Adobe Captivate. Learners will arrive on the menu slide and see buttons that take them to each lesson in the project. Only once they have completed all the lessons will they be able to complete the quiz. This can be done with an easy method provided by Adobe by labelling your slide, objects and grouping your lessons into groups, but students from my recent class wanted to see how this would be built using variables and advanced actions (challenge accepted).

Custom Table of Contents Using Shared Actions in Adobe Captivate

Here is how you can use shared actions to build a custom table of contents for your Adobe Captivate eLearning project.

Easy Custom Table of Contents (Branching) in Captivate 2019 Update 2

In this video tutorial, I show you how you can create a branching menu slide that automatically allows your learners to navigate to different sections that have been grouped by you in Adobe Captivate. This interaction also keeps a final quiz button hidden until your learners have visited all the prerequisite sections. This easy to create eLearning design doesn't require any variables or advanced actions.

Here are the steps to reproduce it yourself:

1. Label your branching slide "branching"

2. Create interactive objects with no action and label them for each intended section. Optionally you can add visited states to these buttons if you want to show completion as I have done in this video

3. Create a final interactive object for your quiz and label it "quiz" and make it not visible in output

4. Group your slides into sections and label them precisely the same as your interactive objects from the branching slide, including the one for the quiz
