Those descriptions are very important (I know some users find it always cumbersome to type descriptions) because the 'replaceability' rules are very tolerant, flexible.

When defining the shared action, you have to enter a description of each parameter. Some examples of 'item': slide, text container, image, button, audio clip, group.

The range of items that can be used is extended in the latest version (see further). What is a 'parameter', new Captivate term since the introduction of shared actions with Captivate 7? It is an item that is replaceable by another item when you reuse the shared action either in the same or in another project.

Since I started a sequence of articles about shared actions in Captivate 7 ( Dare to Share 1В and Dare to Share 2) and promised then to explain how to reuse shared actions in other projects, this article will be an in-depth explanation of the differences between version 7 and 8 concerning parameters. Maybe you want me to create such libraries, post a comment if that is the case. The idea is to create a library of shared actions that can be used over and over again in all future projects. In my last article, where I explained my exploration of Captivate 8, with strong focus on the enhancements of shared actions (shape buttons, theme colors), I have promised to explain my work flow to prepare the shared actions for import into another project.
