  1. Make "Duration" display in TOC optional

    Please enable us in the TOC and/or Playbar settings to omit the display of duration for each slide. Slide durations are in many trainings insignificant.

  3. Additional Instruction Box shapes, settings in Software Simulation.

    It would be good to be able to have different shapes for the instructions boxes like in 2019 with arrows, etc. Also beneficial to be able to set default box settings (box shape, color, border, shadow, text font and size). Setting the arrow throughout is nice, but would be similarly nice to do so for the instruction box settings and text settings.

  4. External user feedback

    Just curious how I can share this project for reviews with external stakeholders. From my experience with Articulate 360; there are robust sharing features where the SME or other individuals can leave comments on the project. Is that feature available or in the development pipeline

  5. Navigation by TOC

    In all previous versions it was possible to control navigation by TOC. You could either choose to allow free navigation or navigation to visited slides. That very important feature which even could be an alternative for resume a session when not having access to a LMS (within limits with cookies) is completely lost.

  6. Retain items for whole project

    In Captivate classic we could insert items (like a navigation toolbar) on one slide and display it for every slide thereafter in the project. Please include that option in this version.

  7. Publish for Review Tool

    It would be very helpful to be able to Publish for Review, that way I could send the course to SMEs and reviewers without having to upload to an LMS. I work for a large company, and uploads are a different team which adds 1 - 2 days. Something similar to the Storyline preview tool would be great.

  9. Animation Bug.

    There is a Bug with animations where only the first animation will work as designed and all other animations will just 'appear'. Animations will only work if they are all designed to start at once at the beginning of the timeline. Video example: https://www.loom.com/share/1051d5ae89fe4300ac216b03d343d522?sid=e1a84e82-0703-4ba8-8a4e-9a7eb12a50c3

  11. But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties

    I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.

    It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.

    Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

  12. Bug - Interactive buttons with jump to bookmark on a slide video mobile issue

    In the newest version of Adobe Captivate on Windows, when you have buttons that "jump to bookmark" on a slide video the interactivity does not work on mobile.

    The functionality works fine on desktop but for some reason on mobile the buttons don't work and don't react to tap.

    The mobile functionality is a needed feature for a client project.

    Other button interactivity works on mobile such as running JavaScript, but not the "Jump to Bookmark"

  13. Change slide/capture size

    We typically use the custom size option for capturing specific items on a page. It would be beneficial for the project to convert to this size or be able to resize the screen/project to the size of the capture window.

  14. ppt and pptx import features

    Most teachers design using PPT and PPTX, so does instructional designers. So it would be ideal if you could import PPT and PPTX files to Captivate.

  15. Allow multiple textboxes within groups

    Often designers want bullet points or small blocks of text to appear as they are spoken in the narration, so you might want 5-10 short pieces of text appearing at different points on a slide. It's extremely common. I don't see a way to do that on a single slide since you're limited to one text element. THe only way would be for them to be stacked and have virtually 10 slides worth of material for the user to scroll down through as the narration progresses, requiring extremely active scrolling along with the narration - which will NEVER happen. This…

  17. Increase processing speed

    I have found the application to be very slow in processing clicks. I am finding that I need to click or double click multiple times to get the application to respond. I am on a corporate network, not a dial-up, so I know it's not on my end.

  19. Ability to Print an Outline

    It would be useful to have a print function like Adobe Classic in order to print the presentation like a handout. Not at least having that function or the collaboration feature in this first rollout is a huge oversight.

  20. Save project as a template not just a theme

    In Captivate Classic, it was easy to reuse slides from a previous project where you had done the heavy lifting of creating layouts, animations, etc. by just choosing File Save As, to essentially create a new template (and even save it as one) to more easily replicate what you've done in a new project.

    I want the same options in Captivate 12 to save the project completely with a new name (duplicate it essentially) so that I can just update and modify content for the new project.

    I don't just want to save the colors/fonts/ I want the whole thing…
