How to Create Custom Fill in the Blank Dropdown Questions in Adobe Captivate | Step-by-Step Tutorial

In this video, I’ll show you how to create your own custom fill-in-the-blank question slide using dropdown blocks in Adobe Captivate. I walk you through the process of building a more flexible alternative to the standard matching question. My solution lets you customize each dropdown with its own unique set of answers (so you’re not stuck using the same options for every blank), and you can even add your own audio and feedback captions.

I cover step-by-step how to set up variables, configure dropdown options, provide custom feedback, and use advanced actions to track your learner’s selections and give them the option to try again if they make a mistake. I also show you how to disable the dropdowns and submit button after a correct answer, and how to reset everything if learners revisit the slide. Whether you’re looking to make your knowledge checks more interactive or you want personalized feedback and more control over your eLearning design, this tutorial is for you!
