  2. Export Captions: add slide number and/or label

    The exported Word document has become even longer than in older versions due to all the multistate objects. The IDs in the first two columns have never made sense to me but in previous versions the last column indicated the slide number. Please add at least that number or if possible also the slide label. It is almost impossible at this moment to find specific items. The possibiliy to hide the superfluous states for buttons would be a great improvement as well. The document at this moment is not very friendly for localisation, which took many steps backwards also for…

  4. New Captivate Backup file Icon displays as Classic Icon

    Currently, the new Captivate backup file icon appears identical to the classic Captivate icon. To ensure clarity and avoid mix-ups between the two applications, the new Captivate backup file icon should be displayed as the new Captivate icon.

  5. Bug: carousel indicator dots not showing

    Occasionally when published, carousels with 'indicator' checked in the feature options are appearing without the indicator dots/dashes when published. I'm sure there's a commonality between them but for the time being can't work out what it is -- seemingly random.

  6. Remove solid black border from overlays

    When an overlay first appears it is surrounded by a solid black border even if no border is selected.

    It should be possible to remove this.

  7. Option to remove blur from overlays

    I have experimented with clear backgrounds on overlays but when an overlay is shown the slide below is automatically blurred and there seems to be no way to control this.

    You should be able to make an overlay clear so that the image below can be seen.

  8. Draw Hotspots of different shapes rather than just Images inside a square

    You should be able to draw a hotspot as a vector rather than just have an image placed inside a square place holder (with the entire square being a clickable hotspot).

    This is so that you can click on part of an image below the hotspot.

  9. Preview starting always on slide 1 (v12.3)

    in the new update v12.3 the preview always starts on the first slide and not the current active slide, as before. It would be great, if it starts at the current (active) slide again.

  10. Closed captions styling not applied to slide or all slides

    It is incredibly tedious to change the font style and size on desktop, tablet and phone for EVERY caption typed on a slide. I type up my caption, change the sizes, hit Apply to this slide AND apply to all slides, then hit + to add another caption on the same slide and none of my changes are applied.

    Please fix this or in the themes area have a way to style the Closed captions separately from other captions (feedback, etc.).

    Thank you.

  11. Quick Start Projects in 12.3

    Some bugs:
    Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
    You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
    I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
    I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…

  12. Classes for simulation bubbles / Texts / Objects

    When editing simulation bubbles, every bubble needs to be adjusted one by one. There is the need for classes where I can set the design once and rollout these classes to every bubble in the simulation. Like in CPC the smartshapes objects and the format classes.

  13. Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection

    Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.

    So the company CI must be fully applicable.

    Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

  14. Fix text formatting bugs

    It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.

    If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.

    For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.

  15. Film strip

    When you click on a slide in the film strip can you apply a larger stroke to highlight the slide? It would make it easier to see what slide you are on.

  16. Allow users to create text-based tables

    The only text options are paragraph and column text. Tables can be made responsive, and are a much-needed piece of functionality.

  18. Allow for no images on flipcards widget

    Allow for no images on flipcards widget. Currently, you can get rid of the images but the depth doesn't adjust accordingly, leaving the text anchored to the bottom of deep cards that can't be adjusted.

  19. Quiz Slide Enter trigger: restore please!

    In all previous versions it was possible to use the On Enter event of a quiz slide as trigger. Not the On Exit, because that functionality was taken over by the Success/Last Attempt actions.
    I use this event all the time in Captivate Classic. It is even more needed in the new version, due to the many required workarounds. One example:
    I have answered already multiple times the request to get rid of the feedback messages in the New version on quiz slides. It is a lot of trouble compared with Captivate Classic, by making the states in the multistate…

  20. Advanced Actions

    Please allow us to create advanced actions. For instance, I need to be able to redirect a student who didn't pass the exam to the content. If they pass an exam, I need some JavaScript that will take them back to our LMS. This is impossible in the new Captivate - at least that I've found.
