This is a key reason why Captivate developers are told NOT to directly open CPTX project files residing on a network or cloud drive and NEVER to save changes directly back to the same network or cloud location. If for any reason this save action does not occur as planned, corruption may result. Each of these tiny files must be flawlessly saved back to the default location of the Captivate project cache folder every time you perform a save action.

The nature of the CPTX file format – A CPTX project file is actually a zip archive in disguise and may contain hundreds or even thousands of smaller files relating to the myriad of objects, images, and actions contained in your e-learning course.Here are some of the reasons for the occasional instability issues that some Captivate users experience: In my personal experience, when Captivate is properly set up on the developer’s system, and used in accord with best practices, it is extremely stable The more recent versions of the app and its file format seem to have be very stable. (By contrast Adobe is far less likely to address other equally annoying usability issues because these do not cause the app to crash and lose work.) Some Captivate versions (and updates) have certainly had ‘teething problems’ and critical stability issues, which Adobe usually addresses quite quickly.

Any software developer knows that the more complex an application becomes, the more likely it is to contain annoying bugs, and the more likely that you will at times encounter a condition from which the application cannot recover, resulting in a ‘crash’.

It’s important to remember that Adobe Captivate is actually a very complex application. If you are unable to recover the project, and you didn’t take the extra precaution of doing daily backups, then you are in all likelihood going to lose all your work on that file. If damage is severe enough, a corrupted file will simply refuse to open in Captivate and then you need to resort to one of the methods suggested in this section to recover it. Though thankfully a relatively rare event, Captivate projects have been known to suffer corruption.
