Input PowerPoint, output e-learning
Have you ever wished you could import PowerPoint slides directly into Captivate and make them fully editable? Now you can!
With just a few clicks, you can import PowerPoint slides into Captivate 13.0 and transform those static slides into a dynamic online learning experience. You can edit every bit of text, image, or shape directly in Captivate – no need to switch back and forth between tools. This means less time adjusting and more time creating engaging learning journeys.
Audio support for widgets
Adobe Captivate 13.0 takes interactivity to the next level by allowing you to add audio cues to widgets such as tabs, timelines, hotspots, and drag-and-drop elements.
Now, when learners interact with the widget, you can provide instant audio feedback, click sounds, beeps, and even brief narration. Not only does this increase engagement, it also makes your content more accessible and immersive for all learners.
Simulate the enhancement of shapes in slides
The simulation just got a new look! You can now edit shapes in simulation slides to highlight actions, provide feedback, or visually guide learners.
Want to draw attention to a button or provide step-by-step tips? Add highlights, descriptions, click areas or feedback status shapes – and customize them the way you want.
It’s a small change, but one that makes a big difference to clarity, accessibility, and learner experience.

Adobe Captivate 13.0 is more than just an update, it’s a leap toward smarter, more inclusive eLearning design. By combining AI innovation, creative flexibility, and accessibility-first design, it helps every course creator—from beginners to pros—easily bring their vision to life.
So whether you’re turning a PowerPoint presentation into an interactive course, building it from the ground up with the help of AI, or enhancing a simulation with sound and visual effects, Adobe Captivate 13.0 makes it easy for you to do it all – flawlessly.
