  3. Slide Image 'Project' Option

    Currently for each slide, there is an associated background image. If a slide background image needs to be adjusted, there are two options from which to choose an image (Assets or System). It would be very helpful if a third option was added (Project) that allows developers to replace a background image with one already being used in the project. We use several images, of which many are nearly identical, and this would help tremendously. Thank you for your consideration.

  4. Report to LMS > Interaction ID Number Customization

    It would be very helpful if we could set preferences that allow for customized naming convention for Interaction IDs that are shared with our LMS. Currently, we have to rename them each manually which is doable but costs a good deal of time. I would love it if in project settings I could configure a sequenced naming convention for scored items to follow. For instance, rather than the default three to four digits, configuring Interaction IDs to be named, LeadQ1, for a unit on leadership would be amazing. In this example, the '1' would increment as more scorable…

  5. [Captivate 13] Make widgets more useable, by treating them (and their components) as proper slide objects

    Every Widget so far added to Captivate 13 has been a massive step back in terms of usability, customization and user-friendliness. It's like we traveled back in time to 15 years ago. Seriously, since 12.6+ Captivate felt like the worst way to do eLearning, everything is done in the worst, most obtuse way possible, and somehow we lost features that the software had since inception.

    Right now, in Captivate 13, if you use a Widget, you're locked out of most actions/interactions/triggers that Captivate normally offers, because they are treated as entirely self-contained, separate feature. Objects within Widget do not qualify…

  7. Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.

    I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.

  9. Bug: Consolidating different simulations into a single file swaps FMR videos

    Because Captivate constantly crashes during the recording of simulations, I've decided to record shorter simulations and then consolidate them into a single file. The problem is, especially for FMR slides, the video is getting swapped — i.e., the audio is correct for that slide, but the video shown in the preview (and the SCORM output) is from a different slide. Captivate, however, shows the video as if everything were fine, so there is really no way fix it because for Captivate it's not broken.

  11. Allow autoplay of simulations

    Setting the course to autoplay doesn't work on courses that are only simulations. If that is by design, it should be made clearer.

  12. Bug: "Apply appearance" is only partial

    When copying the appearance between instruction boxes, only certain aspects of the boxes are copied (such as border and background colour) while others are not (font face and box corner radius).

  13. Bug: Layer blur area under instructions

    I have instructions and a blur area in my simulation, and if I move them to the same place the blur area covers the instructions. What would be the point of having instructions if I wanted them blurred? I can't think of a case where one wouldn't want the instructions to be on top of the blur area.

  14. Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate

    When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

  15. Review rendering of transparent background images

    Transparent images in PNG or SVG format when used as background are showing a thin line like it was being tiled, even if the tile option is not selected.

    In the example attached, I have a simple SVG with an angled corner used as background, and on the bottom-right corner it displays a line of the same colour.

    The same happens with PNG images.

  16. [Bug] Parent slide scrolls while overlay slide is active and scrolling

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    When an overlay slide is opened and the parent slide is taller than the viewport, both the parent slide and the overlay slide scroll simultaneously when the overlay content is scrolled. This causes the user to lose focus on the overlay and disrupts the intended user experience.

    Consequences:
    - Confusing focus shifts between the parent slide and the overlay slide
    - Weakened UX for dialogs and lightbox content
    - Accessibility issues, especially for keyboard navigation

    Suggestion:
    - The parent slide should not scroll while the overlay slide is active and being scrolled.
    - Only the overlay slide…

  17. [Feature] Overlay slides should be fully customizable

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    Overlay slides currently receive several automatic CSS properties that cannot be controlled:
    - Padding on .cp-overlay-slide
    - Padding on .cp-overlay-slide .cp-slide-wrapper
    - min-height values
    - box-shadow effects

    These defaults make it difficult to integrate overlays consistently into existing designs.

    Suggestion:
    Overlay slides should be customizable just like normal slides and appear exactly the same within the parent slide. Effects such as blur, box-shadow, etc. should be optional and configurable via the GUI.

  19. Crashing during AI Avatar

    I have had a couple of attempts to create an AI Avatar for an imported PowerPoint. I was recording for YouTube at the time, submitted the crash using the crash report but thought it might be beneficial to see what I was doing at the time.

  20. [Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    textProps values such as fontWeight set in designOption.json are displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g., font-weight: normal;). Other textProps (like textAlign) work as expected.

    {
      "tag": "slide-item-subtitle",
      "preset": "text-body-6",
      "customStyles": {
          "all": {}
      },
      "customProperties": {
          "alignmentAndSpacing": {},
          "textProps": {
              "fontWeight": "600",
              "textAlign": "center"
          }
      }
    },
    

    In the rendered output, inline styles appear such as:

    font-weight: normal;
    

    Impact:
    - Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output
    - Paragraph styles cannot be reliably overridden
    - UI feedback is misleading (shows correct…
