  1. Custom Shape Tool

    Please add back the ability to create / draw a custom shape with interactivity and custom states. Some interactions require my team to click on weirdly shaped objects, and it would be nice to not have to only use a square, rectangle, circle, or any of the other available shapes that don't quite match. Thank you for your time and consideration!

  2. Ease to copy/paste video bookmark actions (pause timeline)

    This is an entire branching scenario that already has scenes made on PowToon. Clips per scene are usually 2 min long, and I have to put bookmarks to pause the timeline for each dialogue bubble. The problem is that bookmark actions can't be copied/pasted, and I have to manually select an action for book mark. It's going to take me forever to finish them all.

  4. Allow hotspot widgets to be "hidden"

    Allow the hotspot widget either as a "Content Section" or as an Object. I need to be able to have a hotspot widget be hidden on slide enter, and a button to show the widget once clicked (or in this case, once a drag and drop has been submitted)

  5. Editing Failure State Text

    In 13.0, when attempting to edit a Failure State, I can change the color of the shape, but none of the editing of the text applies. In the right editing pane, it shows the change in color or font, but those changes aren't reflected on the project.

  7. slide video controls

    The Slide Video block needs to be rebuilt. What is expected is that this behave like an event video since this is how billions of users on You Tube et. al. interact with content on the web. Here is how it could work: Add video block to slide. Select Autofit height - video fills the block appropriately to project dimensions. Any additional blocks added to the slide should respect the autofit setting and not create an extended scroll. Furthermore, all of these settings should be respected in responsive design to each device (Desktop, Tablet, Phone). Lastly, the video should have…

  8. Issue with Overlapping Drop Answers

    When multiple answers are placed in the same drop location, they stack on top of one another, making it difficult for the learner to see or distinguish between them. Ideally, answers should display side by side within the drop area. Additionally, learners should be able to move or adjust answers after they’ve been placed, without needing to reset the entire interaction if only one item is incorrect.

  9. BUG REPORT- Assets not all loading, errors and broken image icon

    After updating to 13, all of my built in video assets are broken/Missing. Most of the available audio clips do not allow for play preview and if you try to attach them to the slide there is an Audio Import Error pop up.

  10. Need an easy way to edit the visual elements of question and answer slides

    In Captivate 13.0, the UI lets you change fonts, colors, and other elements associated with question and answer slides. However, when you preview or publish, these adjustments are overridden by the CSS in the pre-defined Design Options. You can spend a lot of time making design adjustments that don't do anything.

    While there appears to be a tech support article regarding editing the Design Option CSS and JSON files, we should not have to work at that level to simply make a visual change.

    Also, many of the Design Options do not meet WCAG standards for contrast and accessibility, including…

  12. 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…

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

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

    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).

  20. 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.
