This Is Where Good Ideas Come to Die
If the information here is never going to see the light of day in the form of actionable tickets, what exactly are we doing here? You keep ignoring bugs reported years ago; what hope do I have that anything I report will even be looked at?

Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly
Two primary issues.
If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.
If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.
Example:
A radio group with options A, B and C.With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option…

Export Project Content and Captions
I have discovered that the Export project content and captions workflow is missing an important text component that should be corrected as soon as possible. The various feedback captions for question slides seem to be missing from the resulting Word document. I guess it would be considered a bug as this is a major omission for the software.

[Feature] Option to automatically unflip inactive cards in the Cards Widget
Problem:
Currently, any card flipped in the Cards Widget remains active ("flipped") until it is clicked again. As a result, multiple cards can remain flipped simultaneously, which can be confusing in many learning scenarios.Suggestion:
Add an option that controls this behavior: When a new card is flipped, the previously active card should automatically flip back to its front side.This setting should be configurable both in the GUI and

Spell check but also AI driven grammar, spell check and improved writing
I realize that I’m not the first to suggest this in the forums, but since Adobe Captivate 12 will be the first AI-driven version, I recommend taking it a step further. It would be beneficial to include a tool similar to Grammarly that checks spelling and grammar while also enhancing our writing for both on-screen content and AI voice-driven captions. This feature could help improve our on-screen text and spoken narration, ensuring that they represent the best version of our writing.

Height for Video Grid
It should be possible to specify a height for Video Grid elements in the Custom Styles, similar to Slide Videos:

[Feature] Flexible Overlay System for Buttons, Links, and Slides
Problem:
Currently, overlays in Captivate can only be triggered via bookmarks, and each slide overlay can only be used once. Local, reusable overlays directly on the slide do not exist. This limits flexible interactions and reusable designs.Suggestion:
- Trigger overlays via clicks on buttons, images, or text links, without using bookmarks.
- Allow multiple uses of overlay slides, so standard popups can be used multiple times.
- Custom/Local Overlays created and displayed directly on slides (similar to the "Click to Reveal" widget, but freely definable and reusable). Various types could be possible:

Set default ai voice
I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.

Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

[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-heightvalues
-box-shadoweffectsThese 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.1 vote -
Allow us to change the color of a text hyperlink
In earlier updates I was able to manually change the color of clickable text links so that it matched my client's branding. It would be nice to have control over how these look, and it would be exceptional if the appearance of text hyperlinks was something we could add to the theme editor.
Not sure what changed, but now I have to explain to my clients that this functionality was somehow removed, and we have to deal with ugly purple links instead of sticking to our brand colors.

Allow you to mute project audio on specific slides
When I add background audio to the entire project I cannot stop it from playing on slides that have a video or video grid so you get the music and the video audio. The only way to get around this is to remove the background audio completely. Would be nice to add a feature in the audio tab on the slide to stop the music from playing entirely just on that slide.

I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13
I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13. I attended the Adobe Learning Summit and spoke to the developers about it, but have not received a resolution.

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.

[Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering
Version: 13.0
Problem:
textPropsvalues such asfontWeightset indesignOption.jsonare displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g.,font-weight: normal;). OthertextProps(liketextAlign) 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:

ragesh.c@gds.ey.com
The new Adobe Captivate version lacks a critical feature for eLearning: the ability to restrict the Table of Contents (TOC) and Playbar navigation. In effective eLearning design, it's essential to control access to the TOC and the Next button to ensure learners fully complete each slide before progressing. This functionality was available in Adobe Captivate Classic and is a must-have for tracking learner engagement and completion. Please consider reintroducing this restriction feature in future updates.

Certificate widget download takes a long time and truncates text in the certificate
When you click the download icon for a certificate, it takes a suprisingly long time, with no visual feedback that anything is happening. The background image and text throughout the certificate is truncated. Other than using a screen capture tool, there is no way for the user to get a usable certificate. The certificate is also very large, at over 5 megabytes in size. Attached is the correct certificate (captured using SnagIt) and the annotated certificate that Captivate 12.6.0.63 currently provides.
