What is a .CPAA file?
A .CPAA file is a type of file used by a program called Adobe Captivate, which is a tool for creating interactive eLearning materials. The "CPAA" stands for Captivate Shared Action File. This file contains a set of instructions or actions that you can use across different projects in Adobe Captivate. Think of it as a way to save a recipe of steps that you can reuse without having to start from scratch each time, which saves a lot of effort and time.
To use these actions in another project, you first need to export them from one project and then import them into another. Here’s how you can do it: 1. **Exporting a CPAA File:** - Open your project in Adobe Captivate. - Go to the menu and select Project → Advanced Actions. - Find the action you want to save and use again. This is listed in a drop-down menu labeled "Create from." - Once you select the action, click on the "Export" icon that looks like a folder. This saves the actions into a CPAA file. - Alternatively, you can also find the action in the Adobe Captivate Library, right-click on it, and choose "Export." 2. **Importing a CPAA File:** - Open the project where you want to use the saved actions. - Go to Project → Advanced Actions. - Click on the "Import" folder icon to bring the actions into your current project. - You can also import by clicking the "Import" icon in the Adobe Captivate Library.
The only program that can open and use .CPAA files is Adobe Captivate. This means if you want to work with these files, you need to have Adobe Captivate installed on your computer.
