You can return to the normal interface mode using the following steps:
- Use the Adobe Captivate | Preferences (macOS) or Edit | Preferences (Windows) menu item to reopen the Preferences dialog of Captivate.
- In the General Settings category, deselect the Enable custom workspaces/panel undocking and click OK to validate.
- Restart Captivate without saving the changes made to the open project.
- When Captivate reopens, double-click the encoderDemo_800 thumbnail to reopen the project.
Confirm that the Properties and Library buttons are back in the top-right corner. This indicates that you are back in normal interface mode.
- Click the workspace switcher button at the top right corner of your screen. It should currently read Classic.
In normal interface mode (that is, when the Enable custom workspaces/panel undocking option of the Preferences is not selected), only the Classic workspace can be applied or reset. If you want to use your custom Timing workspace again, you first need to return to Advanced Interface Mode, and then restart Captivate.
Before moving on to the next topic, these are the key points to keep in mind when creating custom workspaces:
- It is necessary to set Captivate to Advanced Interface Mode to dock and undock panels and create new workspaces.
- Use the Window | Workspace | New Workspace menu item to save the current panel layout as a new workspace. This menu item is also accessible from the workspace switcher at the top right corner of your screen.
- Use the Window | Workspace | Manage Workspace menu item to rename or delete your custom workspaces.
- To update an existing workspace, use the New Workspace command to give the new workspace the same name as the workspace you want to update.
- The default Classic workspace of Captivate cannot be deleted or renamed.
- In normal interface mode, only the default Classic workspace is available.
