  2. Control the size of an icon inside a button or hotspot

    Need full control over the size of an icon inside a button(except S/M/L). You can only control the size of the button/padding arround it.

    Need full control over size of button. S/M/L is not enough.

    Need full customisation of buttons via import of SVGs, not just the icon inside the button. (This can be achieved by inserting an SVG and making it interactive but being able to create and save new buttons would be much better UX.)

  3. Increase number of pages allowed in carousel widget

    I would like to be able to add more than 6 pages/items to the carousel widget. I understand that the tabs and flip cards widgets are limited due to the required space to display the tabs/cards, but the carousel does not have the same limitation.

    For example, we have a training with 8 core principles that would be great for learners to click through each principle via the carousel, but I cannot use this interaction currently due to the limit of 6.

    Having a maximum of 10 or 12 seems more appropriate and flexible. Or if possible, do not set…

  4. Add Closed Captions to pop up and object audio.

    Closed captions should be available to edit in bulk or easily in some way. There should also be a way to caption object and pop up sound to be fully 508 compliant.

  5. Allow to use different image types for buttons and widgets

    I've noticed that only .SVG images can be used as assets for buttons and widgets such as the click to reveal widget. It would be a good idea to allows to use other file types like PNG for these assets. Normally, I just convert them to .SVG, but recently the LMS we use decided to no longer support images in .SVG format due to security reasons, so having other file type options would be very convenient.

  7. when the screen size gets smaller the buttons will stack vertically even when there is enough sace for them to be side by side.

    when you add a set of buttons they seem to act odd. it sometimes even seems to get the orientation mixed up.

    I suggest giving us more control over the orientation of the buttons.

  8. Allow the closed caption box to be moved and resized.

    The current 2 options may cover content, especially for technical presentations where the slides may have more text, animations or graphics that need to be visible during CC.

  10. More than one checkbox

    I'm not sure why the Checkbox interaction only allows for one checkbox. It would be helpful not to add another block for additional checkboxes. Instead, selecting the number of checkboxes I wish to include in the block would be helpful, similar to how I would do it with radio buttons.

  14. Allow us to change the underline color of a link

    When I linked some text, a light pink/purple line displayed under the linked text. I did not find where to change that color on the properties, nor the theme. Pinky/Purple is not one of our brand colors.

  18. Better Typography - Web fonts - options/weights

    I only see a handful of google fonts as options and no Typekit fonts in captivate 12. It is missing big ones like Open Sans, Robot and Inter.

    Allow us to use these or add our own custom web fonts.

    System fonts do not include all weights and styles available.

    While all other adobe apps support using alternative characters, Capitvate does not. You all have been one of the leaders in implementing web font technology and features, what happened?

  20. Bug: Hotspots move when changing the window size

    If you change the window size, the hotspots move away from their fixed positions. If you repeat this behaviour, the hotspots move further and further outwards until they are no longer accessible.
