Re: Can you save a .CPTX (project) as a .CPTL (template) and later convert that to a .CPTX file? I just need a little clarification on how this works in Adobe Captivate 8.

If you happen to use Variables and Advanced Actions in your CPTL template files, I would recommend that you DO NOT use templates with Cp7 or the current builds of Cp8 as there are some serious issues.

See this blog article for details:
