In Active Presenter, Text Selection is turned on by default for text boxes and images.
When I am training Active Presenter, I always tell the participants to turn off
‘Text Selection’. This is because, in the exported project the end-user can accidentally highlight the images and or text. Resulting in something like this:
Can I please request to turn ‘Text Selection’ off by default?
Thanks so much!

Thank you for your suggestion about the Text Selection feature.
I’ve noted it and will forward it to our internal team for further consideration. It will be added to our to-do list if we receive many similar requests from users.
Best regards,
Maybe it would be easier for you to create project setting, where the user can turn off text and image selection?
Thanks!
I would like this change as well.
Hi,
Thank you all for your requests.
ActivePresenter doesn’t have a setting for all objects at once, but you can adjust each object type individually in Object Settings: How to Work with Object Settings in ActivePresenter 9

Thanks Hang. That’s very helpful. We’ll make sure to add this to our training!
Dear Hang,
I did manage to change the settings for “Text Captions”, but I would also like to disable selection of Images, but I don’t see images listed in the Object Settings menu.
Any idea?
Dear Koen,
Unfortunately, there is no option to set for images in Object Settings.

Dear Hang,
It is very unfortunate that you can’t turn of the ‘text selection’ of images in Object settings. It means that you always have to remind yourself to turn it off manually, which is very time consuming in big projects.
I will submit a feature request for it.
In the image you see that users can accidentally select the images, which is very strange in this educational game and it serves no purpose.
