# Displaying confirmation messages

Confirmation messages appear when you perform important, and often permanent, actions in Captivate. The confirmation messages give you one more opportunity to change your mind when deleting information or changing key attributes. If you find that certain messages are not necessary for the way you work or are slowing down your development time, you might want to disable confirmation messages for actions that you perform frequently.

#### To display or not display confirmation messages:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. From the Options menu, select Preferences.

3. Select the actions you want to confirm, and/or remove the check mark from actions you do not want to confirm.

   Delete object: Displays a message before an object is removed.

   Delete slide: Displays a message before a slide is removed.

   Movie resize: Displays a message before a movie is resized. (Resizing a movie is an action that cannot be "undone," so it is a good idea to display a confirmation message for this action.)

   Video quality change: Displays a message before the quality of a slide is changed.

   Remove audio: Displays a message before audio is deleted.

   Change audio: Displays a message when replacing one audio track with another.

   Check audio input levels: Displays a message before changing audio input levels (for microphones or recording devices).
