Summary

At the end of this final chapter, you can proudly turn off the lights and leave the post-production studio. You have gone through the three major steps of the production process, uncovering lots of Captivate features, tools, and objects along the way!

In this chapter, you first focused on the final fine-tuning you can apply to the project before the actual publishing phase. You checked the spelling, decided how the movie should start and end, added metadata to the project, and created a unique Skin, among other things. When all these final changes had been taken care of, the course module was finally ready for publication.

In the second part of this chapter, you concentrated on the Publish dialog, where you gained experience of the main publishing features of Captivate. Publishing is the process by which the course is made available to your target audience.
