New features in Adobe Captivate 8 include:
Multiscreen responsive elearning authoring – Author as you always have — content will rearrange itself for the new tablet and mobile views. Tweak content for a specific device and use the in-product preview to see how your project will appear on various screens. Publish as a single project and automatically deliver the most appropriate experience for your learner’s device.
Responsive themes – Choose from a selection of out-of-the-box responsive themes to render differentiated content for multiple devices. Customise themes to meet your requirements, or create your own. Save themes for reuse across projects.
Smart positioning of objects – Easily define the relative position of objects with respect to screen borders or other objects, maintaining content and layout integrity across devices.
Multidevice previews – View exactly how your content will look on desktops, tablets and mobile phones. Preview your project on stage or browser, or use the free Adobe Edge Inspect app to see how it will look on a physical mobile device.
