Can someone tell me how I convert a simulation from view mode to try mode so that I have a demonstration and an exercise that enable end-user interaction.
Hi Lisa, this is really simple to do. Just click the Record Screen option just like you did when you created the view mode. You will see a list of any recordings you have already done. If they are already inserted into your project the will say in use. Just select the view mode recording that you already created. You will see an "Insert Slides" screen as follows:
Just click the "Step-by-Step slides" option and then select "Try modes steps" from the dropdown list. You can specify which scene you want to insert it into and give the scene a name. When you are ready just click insert.
It looks like Nancy has you covered here, and if you need anything further please let us know. For additional information on working with screen recordings, you may also want to review this tutorial.
Hey folks, If I'm doing a View, a Try and a Test from the same recording, and I'm needing to edit the resulting slides a lot for clarity and aesthetics, is there a way I can edit the first (view) scene, and then have those edits transfer to the next two scenes?
Hello Carl - Sounds like you know you can re-use the recordings, but changes you make once added to your project are not made on the original file. You could copy/paste content or slides if needed though.
Not sure if others in the community have come up with a different solution for this task, but hopefully they will pop in to share if so :)
Is there a way that the text bubbles transfer from the Try Mode to the View Mode scene? Or do you have to cut and paste each text relevant text bubble from Try Mode into the View Mode scene?
Great question! You could copy and paste them between the different scenes - but there isn't a way to automatically include the same captions. It would make a great Feature requests here. If you’re wondering what happens when you submit a feature request, here’s our process.
Thanks Ashley, I have submitted a request for this feature. Cutting and pasting is what I do, but just thought it would be good to have this feature to cut down on editing timeframes.
Otherwise, you can customize the new scene's captions once you've inserted them. Here's some more information about customizing the captions in a screen recording.

Hi Nancy and Ashley,
Thank you for your advice, I've got the process in hand now.
Cheers,

Happy to hear it Lisa, and please let us know if you need anything else.

Hi there, Carl! I just wanted to add...
If you are using the Design tab, your color and font theme will apply across your project.
Maybe that will help cut down on the work!

Hi Lisa. Did you customize the captions in your Try Mode scene?
If not, when you insert your recording into a View Mode scene, you'll have the option to include captions there as well, and they'll look the same.
Otherwise, you can customize the new scene's captions once you've inserted them. Here's some more information about customizing the captions in a screen recording.
