How can our customer edit our Captivate 6 content with Captivate 5?

Tags: #export #import #captivate #compatibility #6 #5

Our company has decided to dive into the e-learning business and create e-learnings.  We just purchased a Captivate 6 subscription, unfortunately before finding out our customer uses Captivate 5.  He would like to edit our files once in a while when he needs to if he doesn't have enough time to have us do it.   Is there anyway he can edit content produced in Captivate 6 with his Captivate 5.  Can I export files of a certain type that he can in turn import and add to his Captivate 5 and edit himself?  In other words, what kind of files can I export from Captivate 6 than he can import with Captivate 5 and make small changes to?

 

 

  Vielen Dank,

    Unfortunately NO.

     

    If you had been using Captivate before you would have known that no version of Captivate has ever been able to save to a previous version format.  Once a file is upgraded to a newer format, it cannot be opened or edited by earlier versions.  It's a one way trip.

     

    If your client is on Captivate 5, they are now 2 versions behind.  The best thing for both of you would be if the client agrees to upgrade to Cp6 as well.  The upgrade cost is well worth it this time.

    Thank you.  I see that I can export content as an .xml file.  Isn’t this something he can upload with Captivate 5?    Thanks for bearing with my naivety. : )

    No.  The XML export is not for that purpose.
