Bookmark feature in CP4 TOC

Okay, so I know the bookmarking question has been done to death and as I understand it Captivate doesn't support any kind of bookmarking. What it does do however (if it's linked with an LMS) is resume where a user drops off. That, imho, isn't bookmarking as much as it is a resume feature. (and most of the people who have co-opted the word 'bookmarking' are actually looking for this resume feature)
Now if Captivate doesn't support bookmarking of any kind then why is there a 'bookmark' feature in the TOC? The default TOC in Captivate 4 has a little star that claims to bookmark - but in all my testing I have no idea WHAT it does. I can fill in the circle but that's about it. I can't unfill it. I don't get a dialog box or anything that lists the users bookmarks so they can choose .. I'm just not sure what that "bookmark" in the TOC is supposed to do.
What I'd like it to do is bookmark slides so at a later date a user can go into the course and pull up their "bookmarks" and choose which one they'd like to view.
Anyone have any clue if this can be accomplished?
Thanks for your help peeps!

Hi Bradley,
It should work just a Lilybiri described and that is also how it works for me.
Any chance you are deploying through and LMS? If so then you also need to select "Never send resume data" in the SCORM reporting settings. Otherwise that would create a bookmark for you.

Don't want TOC to show when using Bookmark feature

I want to use the bookmark feature on a quiz but the TOC shows on the screen. How do you take it off?

If you are NOT using an LMS then you can turn on Self Paced Learning in the TOC settings.
If you ARE using an LMS, then Self Paced Learning is disabled and you need to rely on Resume Data Bookmarking which is on by default whenever you report to an LMS (unless you have Never Send Resume Data checked in your LMS Customization Settings in Captivate).

Captivate 4 - Bookmark feature for LMS

I have completed all development of a course, but have just learned that a bookmark feature is required by the LMS. There must be a way for a User to begin the course then stop, and later be brought back to the same place.
Is there a setting in Captivate where I can enable this feature?

Does your CP-movie have quiz slides and if so, do you report to the LMS? Then you have to activate Resume Data, which is normally the standard option in the LMS Customization Setting (Quiz Preferences, Settings).
When I'm not using the SCORM-functionality (reporting scores), I use the TOC-feature and activate the option 'Self-paced Learning' in the Settings, Runtime Options of the TOC, to have the bookmarking function. I'm certain there are other ways, perhaps someone else will give you another solution. If you do not want to lose any space on your screen you can put the TOC in overlay mode.

What happened to the Organize Bookmarks feature it's missing?

Downloaded and installed FF4 today.
Searched for Organize Bookmarks feature and it's missing.
I backup my bookmarks by exporting.

Renamed to Show All Bookmarks.

The "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing", no window!

Whether I use the key command or click the menu option, the "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing - no window appears. I see an item in the Window menu, but there is no window.

Do you have all your bookmarks in the sidebar (Ctrl+B), if you do there is nothing wrong with your places.sqlite as far as bookmarks go, next check to see if you have history in the sidebar (Ctrl+H)
And before you consider deleting or renaming your places.sqlite
If you are using an external monitor with a laptop try moving the library window back to the laptop. Try searching on just a colon ":" in the bookmarks Library List.
* https://support.mozilla.com/questions/792065
Try in Firefox Safe Mode to make sure extensions are not part of the problem.
May fix problem -- not likely but you have a lot to lose if you lose data from places.sqlite so worth the trouble to try first.
* Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*: Back/forward can't be moved
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Next try a bookmarks backup and restore, this may fix problems, I've never had to delete or rename my places.sqlite file yet, which would lose history, which is needed for the AwesomeBar to work properly or anything else that involves history.
# Ctrl+Shift+B to bring up Library List
# Import and Backup
# Backup to c:\temp\bookmarks-2011-08-18.json (or whatever current date is)
# Import and Backup
# Restore > choose file > c:\temp\bookmarks-2011-08-18.json
# see if problem is fixed
If you still have problem then look to other solutions before even considering deleting/renaming places.sqlite the problem could be in several things also mentioned in the

Hmm, what about a bookmark feature, or...

... is it hidden somewhere and I can't find it? Presently scanning the store for music videos I'd like to purchase, but there are a few to many and it would bust my budget if I'd buy them all at a time. So I'd love a sort of bookmark feature, so I don't have to scan the library over and over again. Is it already in there hidden, or will I have to do it over again as soon as I have a few more bucks to spend?

Simply make yourself a "wish list" playlist. Open a new playlist, drag the content you are interested in purchasing to that playlist & your choices will be waiting for you whenever you wish to purchase.

Will a bookmark feature ever be added?

Will a bookmark feature ever be added to the ipod? I read on here previously that there was some glitch in the OS on the Ipod that would not make this possible. Every mp3 player I have ever seen at least remembers the last song played.
After a synch, the Ipod loses this. Very annoying. If it can't remember the last song, could it at least remember the album or place on a playlist? I have done computer programming, doesn't sound like this would be too difficult to implement.

I receive many audio files that are around 20 minutes each. I may be able to remember which one I was on, but it's a real pain to have to fast forward to the point I left off.
Don't sync? What's the point of having a music player if I can't add to it?

Bookmark feature available in CP4 with CP3 Menubuilder SWF object links?

I have my CP4 project published to run only on a CD. I have looked through the online CP 4 Help, but haven't been able to find out information if it is possible to bookmark in a CD based program? The way the CD is set up is 7 lessons are linked through a Menubuilder .swf object created in CP3 so that all the lessons are linked within the CD. If a learner is not able to do all 7 of the lessons in one sitting, has to take out the CD from the PC, and then later puts the CD back in to the PC, the CD will start at the beginning, the first lesson.

Hiya, Mike,
It's pretty tough to work through pasted-in code. If you can, please upload a page to a server, so we can see your pages in context. We'll be able to download it and look at it.
That said, you can do this: Find the beginning of an editable region in Code View. It will look like this:

Click anywhere in that tag, between the opening bracket and the closing bracket.
Then, on the vertical toolbar on the left side of the Code window, click on the "Collapse Full Tag" button. It is the one with two arrows pointing at each other. This will collapse that entire editable region. Then click the button with the two arrows pointing away from each other. That will re-open the editable region, but will highlight it.
If you have nested regions, you will find the other inside one of the editable regions. If you copy the <!-- InstanceBeginEditable and do a search on it in that document, you will find the nested region.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

I am using FireFox 4. Where is the "Bookmark All Tabs-" feature. I would like to save my Tabs for a later session. The selection is not on the menu when I right-mouse click or go to the Bookmarks feature of the Menu.

Missing "Bookmark All Tabs…" feature which was in previous versions of FireFox 3.x. If you right-mouse click on a neutral part of the Browser window, there would be choice of "Bookmark this page" or "Bookmark All Tabs…". I have been unable to find it either in the sub-menu or the BOOKMARK selection from the Menu Bar.

What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.
Tank you for your understanding !

Unwanted new bookmarks feature just appeared.

Today I find that when I click on the bookmarks icon, the top half of the page that appears is occupied by a stack of pictures of all the bookmarked pages in whatever folder is selected. I have no use for these pictures, so is it possible to delete the feature that produces them?

Hi Keith,
Grab that little 3 gray bars at the bootm center of that section & drag it up.

Adobe Captivate - Resume Data Bookmarking feature

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5. The OS is Windows 7.
I have created a module recording the details of the screen actions to be done. I have used TOC feature. If a user exits the simulation midway and comes back it shows the "Continue from where you stopped last time?" message in a confirmation dialog box. Currently the title of this dialog box is "Adobe Captivate". I would like to know is it possible to change this title? If yes how? Kindly help.

Hi,
Thanks.
By the way I would like to know in the Aggregator project, is it possible to access the TOC settings. When the aggregator project output is run, the status flag in TOC for all chapters are shown selected. Where as in the self-paced learning the status "tick" mark appears only after each chapter is completed. Is there any way to tinker the settings of TOC in aggregator project. if so how to do it? Please help!

Buttons to bookmark and unmark the toc

Hello I am tring to find a way to have a button mark and unmark the TOC so that the user can mark a question on the toc for later review (it doesn't need to remember the mark if the user exits the course).
I have been trying for days now with no success is there any way to accomplish this?
Also I am trying to change the o on the question to a square button with A, B and C on them but I cant seem to be able to accomplish this either. Is there a way to create a style (.cps) for a button outside Captivate?
I am using the latest version of captivate 7.
Thanks in advance for any help

On the far left side of the TOC there is a column for bookmarking items. Your user can just click this spot beside any TOC item to mark it with a small flag icon. You cannot do this from a button within the course. But why would you need a button when the user can just click the item in the TOC anyway.
As for your other issue, it sounds like you're trying to change a radio button Multiple Choice question into a checkbox Multiple Answer question. Just select the question slide, go to Quiz Options > General and select the Multiple Answers box.

My bookmark feature is not working. I click the star button, and it does the animation showing a bookmark added, but it doesnt turn blue or bookmark page...

it used to work fine, but now it does.. Some websites will bookmark, but most will not... Like I said in the question, when I click the STAR button it does the little animation showing bookmarking, but it does NOT turn blue, and the page I am trying to bookmark is not showing up in my unsorted bookmarks list or anywhere else.. Thanks for your help..

The bookmark feature has stopped working, I can only bookmark my homepage (google search) but nothing else.

Firefox is simply unresponsive when I try to save a page as a bookmark, I have tried clicking the star in the URL bar, using ctrl-D, right clicking on the page, and saving from the bookmarks tab. None of these options do anything at all.
I have tried turning off different add ons but have not had any success. The only time I can get it to save a bookmark is if I bookmark my homepage, then it will save that, but nothing else.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
