Custom Completion Certificate Filename
It would be helpful to have the ability to set a custom download name for the certificate file instead of using the default “Captivate Certificate.” Many users aren’t tech‑savvy, and renaming downloaded files can be challenging. Allowing authors to define a filename that matches the course title would make the process much more user‑friendly.

When selecting a system image, if the file explorer opens in an incorrect folder, the application freezes and becomes unresponsive. The application must then be force-closed using the system Task Manager

I need to know how to import a Classic Captivate file
I am able to select a PPT file for import. But, when I choose to import a Classic Captivate file, I receive a beta message and then click Continue. Next I just receive a Captivate Classic Import (Beta) message that is spooling. I don't ever receive the window to select a file to import. Please help! My Captivate version is 13.1.1.200

Add Licensing section in Preferences
It would be great if you had a Licensing section in preferences for the purpose of helping Captivate developers license and manage the use of their modules for other organizations.
Within the LIcensing section there would be an Expiration date (month, day, and year), such that when the date would be reached (system date equal to or greater than the Expiration date), the module would jump to a developer specified slide in the module.. This would allow the developer to provide information for renewal of the license. This would make it easier to license modules to other organizations for their…

Please upgrade the software, not downgrading it
Long story short, I haven't used Captivate for a while since moving to a new team and was telling my boss how awesome Captivate is and we can use it to help the team be more productive.
The awesomeness being I can create a simulation then export it onto multiple different formats e.g. storyboard, user guide, quick reference guide, PowerPoint slides, MP4 video, etc. But guess what - ALL THESE FUNCTIONALITIES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Why on earth would you downgrade a software? Now it is essentially useless for me until we can get all these features back. Can we…

Export slides to PDF
Please add a function that allows a Captivate project to be exported to PDF. Articulate does this and it is very helpful for leverating generative AI for grammar and spell checks.

Bug: Trying to upload a png to an icon using file name/path causes application to crash.
If you go to select an icon from your local system and type in the filename you want (in my case a PNG), the program crashes.

allow us to change the default keyboard shortcuts
There is a bug with the play/pause function. Clicking pause on the on-screen keyboard does not work. Remapping keys in powertoys does not work. None of the key combinations involving the Fn key work.
A lot of keyboards don't have a pause/break button, so we need a way to map that to a different key. It's also better for workflow because we don't have to move our hands as much.
Also, F11 still works even though the documentation does not mention it.

Certificate widget exits the slide unexpectedly
I have a certificate widget on the last slide of my project. The Certificate Download is toggled ON. I have noticed on several occasions that when I try to click the Certificate Download icon in the top right of the certificate, the project exits and completes the exit action specified in the Preferences > Project > Project End, before I can click on the Certificate Download icon. I have added two buttons below the certificate widget, and the expected behavior is that I have all the time I need to click the Certificate Download icon, and then click one of…

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?

Fix the closed captioning button on the playbar
On slides containing videos with captions, the closed captioning button on the playbar grays out and users cannot turn the captions on or off. However, the button works normally on slides that contain only narration with captions and not videos. For more context, imagine slide 1 contains narration with captions (no video), and a user clicks the CC button to turn the captions on. The user then goes to slide 2, where there’s a video with captions. Those captions also appear, but the user cannot turn them off because the CC button is grayed out. Any assistance you could offer…

Use the Project Name in Preferences for the tab description, rather than the filename
Currently there is a line in the assets > js > project.js file as follows:
pN:'My Captivate project filename.cpt'
The value for pN is set to the filename and extension of the Captivate Project. This is also the value that is shown as the browser tab description when running the project in a browser. It would be better if, instead of showing the filename - which has little interest to the user - it instead shows the Project Name under Project Information in the Preferences. The Project Name can be set to something meaningful to the user, which would likely…

QWERTY compatibilty
The Undo function is mapped to the AZERTY keyboard configuration instead of the QWERTY.
Actually, the undo function is assigned to the CTRL+W shortcut instead of the CRTL+Z. Crtrl+Z close the project.It's really annoing, as the undo function is a convention on Ctrl+Z on all QWERTY keyboard. It's occus in the french version of the new Adobe Captivate.

TOC Navigation Control Missing in New Adobe Captivate
Issue Summary:
In the new version of Adobe Captivate, Table of Contents (TOC) items are enabled from the beginning, allowing users to skip slides without completing them. This undermines the learning flow and defeats the purpose of structured eLearning.
Expected Behavior:
There should be an option or variable to disable TOC items initially, and enable each item only after the corresponding lesson or slide is completed.
Actual Behavior:All TOC items are accessible from the start.
Learners can skip ahead without engaging with the content.
No built-in setting or variable is available…3 votes -
Fix Captivate (new - 13.1) launch screen to be accessible at different text sizes.
I updated to 13.1 yesterday, hoping to be able to adjust the reading order in a classic project. Installed the new version and noticed that things didn't fit in the launch screen and were getting cut off. I clicked the Import button and selected the Captivate Classic option. The popup opened, but the image extended and was cut off at the bottom of the screen, and I was missing the Learn more link and the Continue button. There's no option to scroll or resize anything in the Launch screen, nor can you resize the launch screen itself. My colleague tried…
