[Bug] Margin in Tabs widget prevents styling via `designOption.json`
In the Tabs widget, Captivate applies the following CSS rule to an inner container:
.cp-tabs-widget .cp-tabs-container .cp-widget-content-container > div { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 10px 0px; }The
margin: 10px 0pxcannot be controlled viadesignOptions.json. Visual styling such as margin or padding should be configurable.1 vote -
[Bug] Inline margin in Tabs widget (cp-content-image)
In the Tabs widget, Captivate injects an inline margin (
margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px) into thecp-content-imageelement at page generation:<div class="cp-content-image" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px; padding: 0px; flex: 0 1 40%;">...</div>This behavior overrides any margin settings defined in

Improve documentation for design options
The design options concept is the most powerful feature in Captivate 12 and the key to building custom layouts. However, documentation is very limited. It is often unclear which JSON properties are actually supported for each widget, and many entries defined in the JSON are not transformed by Captivate.
Suggested improvement:
- Provide an example.json file for every widget, showing all possible properties (“grammar”) of the design options.
- Especially for more complex widgets (accordion, tabs, carousel, etc.), this would help developers understand what can be customized.
- Include notes for properties that are not yet transformed but are planned…1 vote -
[Feature] Allow renaming of user-defined variables
Currently, user-defined variables can only be renamed in the variable manager if they are not referenced in the project. Variables that are already in use cannot be renamed, which limits flexibility.
Suggested improvement:
Allow renaming of user-defined variables directly in the variable manager, with all references in the project being updated automatically.1 vote -
[Feature] Additional content wrapper for all design objects
Problem:
Currently,div.cp-widget-containerdirectly contains the widget elements.Suggestion:
It is recommended to introduce an additional content wrapper element belowdiv.cp-widget-containerfor all widgets (videos, text, images, quizzes, etc.). This new wrapper should hold the actual content and control its maximum width, while the outer container can still be used for full-width background styling.Benefits:
1. The existingdiv.cp-widget-containercan continue to provide full-width background styling (color, image, etc.), stretching across the entire slide.
2. The new inner wrapper (e.g.,div.cp-widget-container__inner) should hold the actual content and define a maximum content width to center and structure the layout consistently.…1 vote -
[Feature] Wrap VideoCaption and VideoBody in their own container
Caption and Body should be nested in their own parent element for flexible layout, e.g.:
<container-video-grid> <container-video-grid-card> <video></video> <videoText> <videoCaption></videoCaption> <videoBody></videoBody> </videoText> </container-video-grid-card> </container-video-grid>Benefit: Easier layout control, consistent spacing, flexible arrangement of video and text.

[Bug] Remove inline height on page generation
Captivate currently injects a fixed inline height (220px) into Video Grid containers at page generation:
<div id="videoContainer_si78699" class="videoContainer" data-desktop-height="220" automation-id="slidevideo:::container_aspectratio" style="height: 220px; width: 100%;">This prevents proper responsive behavior and overrides custom CSS.
Expected behavior: No fixed inline height should be injected. Instead, the container should default to
height: 100%, so that its size can be fully controlled by parent elements defined in thedesignOption.json.1 vote -
Height for Video Grid
It should be possible to specify a height for Video Grid elements in the Custom Styles, similar to Slide Videos:
Example: "videoHeight": 4001 vote -
Cache - should ask you to change your default locations instead of being duplicated
There should be a contradiction in the place in the preferences, where it says 'clear cache' -- the two file save locations -- one is the file location of the .cpt file, and the other is the cache file location. these should NOT be the same, nor should it be an option to be saved in the same place.
Why you ask?
Because I had my HUGE module saved to the same location in both of these locations. I cleared my cache. Then... POOF, my entire module - GONE!. Up in smoke. Disappeared.Nothing told me I was deleting my…

This program is unusable in its current state.
This program is unusable. Assets do not load, especially if you already have a system image loaded. Click to reveal does not work if you change image, or any settings (Something went wrong), Accordion crashes, you can't change image size so even if you have a small image it shows up huge in the slide. Hot spots, image is small and you can only size if horizontally. Slides and pictures resize from the editor to the preview. Its just ongoing. Unless you have a very simple course and you dont want to use widgets this program is basically useless. Going…

Simulation Blur Area Enhancements
In software simulations where private information is consistently visible (ex: Financial Institutions, Healthcare Systems, etc.), it is difficult to make the sizing of blur areas consistent across slides in Assessment & Training Software Simulations. This could be distracting for end users, and doesn't enable the quality I'd like to deliver. Can you add the ability to copy/paste these blocks, input pixel measurements, or some kind of setting to allow the blur to appear on subsequent slides?

Allow other export formats
Allow for another way to export the course besides HTML. PDF, PPT, just a couple examples will help when the review link isn't working.

have the hand cursor an option you can turn off like in classic
Hide the hand (cursor) when hovering over the hotspot so I can create a "find the error by clicking on it" type of knowledge check without the hand cursor giving away the location of the right answer.

Add support for smart quotes when typing text
When typing quotes in Captivate 12.6, all single and double quotation marks appear as "straight quotes" or "typewriter quotes." Improve the readability and display of text typed directly into captivate by automatically converting these punctuation marks into “curly” quotes (also known as ‘smart’ quotes).
While it is possible to insert the improved “smart” quotes by copying and pasting from a word processor (e.g., Microsoft Word), it is not always convenient to copy and paste text from another document when authoring a course directly in Captivate. Additionally, quoted text built into the software by default (for example: Select "Next" or press…

web link video interactions
When having a web link for a video and trying to interact with it it doesn't register, for example having a button disabled on Enter Slide and then enable it by the interaction "Objects Clicked" pointed at the video and that video is not a regular video but a web link video it doesn't work, needless to say that when using a regular video it does indeed work.

Add a completion dialog to the "Remove Unused Items" function
The option "Remove Unused Items" is helpful and seems to do the job of cleaning up the project file and reducing its size. However, under Captivate 12.6.0 there is no completion dialog to inform the user that the function has been completed. A useful dialog might be something like the following:
All unused items have been removed from this project.
48 items were removed, reducing this project file size by 586k.
