Previewing the rushes

The project should be open in Captivate. To launch the preview, you will use the same icon as in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Adobe Captivate 2019, as explained in the following steps:

  3. Click the Play button at the center of the Preview dialog.
  4. Close the Preview pane when done.
