Hello!
It is possible to have someone "try out" software. The key is
in the initial set up of your recording the software screenshots.
There is a difference between recording a "Demonstration" vs.
recording a "Simulation."
When you are ready to record and get the screenshots you want
to ensure that Captivate is in the right mode. Before you click on
the record button, click on the Options button in the lower left
hand corner. One of the options that comes up is the Recording
Mode. Make sure that it's set to
Training Simulation.
Once you have Training Simulation set, Captivate
automatically includes click boxes, captions, highlights, etc. as
you are recording your screenshots. To check to see what Captivate
includes as far as interactivity, click on the Settings button next
to the Recording Mode option. Select the components you would like
people to seeas they view your movie.
With these settings Captivate then changes all of your
recording screenshots into a simulation where folks have to
interact with what they see on the screen.
I know this was detailed but I hope it helps. Best of luck in
completing your training modules.
