The Project Library

A Captivate project's library is the collection of assets, including images, video, and audio, that have been imported into the project.

2. Select a file (or multiple files).

Remove Unused Assets

When you add a file to a project's library, a copy of that file is made within the Captivate project's file. If you have a lot of assets, it can make a project's file size pretty big. Removing assets that you're not using will help keep the project's file size as small as possible.

1. Click the Select Unused Items button in the Library panel.
2. Click the Delete button.
   
3. Click Yes.
