You can type the first character to navigate to an action starting with that character. Existing Actions: has a dropdown list, ordered alphabetically.Be careful with names (sorry for the repetition), do not use names that are used for other items. Action name: compulsory for advanced actions.In some instances duplicate advanced actions are to be preferred to shared actions (maybe a future blog post). Delete Action will delete the active action.Export Shared Action: works only for shared actions (doesn't appear in the tooltip), same button as in the Library.Personally I always prefer to import (and export) shared actions from the Library.

Section 2: has the control panel and navigation possibilities for the Decisions.

That field has to be filled in for an advanced action, but not when your goal is to create a shared action (see Dare To Share).

Section 1: with the Global control panel to the right, two dropdown lists and the Action name field.

The dialog box still has a fixed size (I wished it could be resized) and in this screenshot I indicate three sections, which I will explain more in detail below:

Maybe you'll discover some unknown gems here as well? I recommend to download the example published file, or watch it (as SWF output) in that article if you are using a Flash enabled browser on a desktop or laptop. The focus of this article is on clarifying that new dialog box. It is like new shoes, sometimes it takes time before they feel as comfortable as those old sneakers :). In my previous blog post about my preferred new features in Captivate 2017 I mentioned that the dialog box for Advanced Actions got a nice new layout.
