  1. Create a menu in the font palette to set-up substitute fonts

    It would be good to have a way to choose which fonts might substitute the fonts that the user does not have in their device or computer.

    In my project, I am creating a module that uses Lato font. When opened in mobile, it substitutes for Georgia, but this is not the best option. In my case it would be best substituted by Arial.

    You should create a form of hierarchy in the Font palette, where you choose the fonts that will substitute the fonts in your project.

  2. Drag and drop with forced navigation option

    I design training for a healthcare system clinical competency. Part of this training involves instruction on proper placement of defibrillator pads. Placing defibrillator pads incorrectly can reduce the effectiveness of the shock and potentially lead to harm to the patient. I previously submitted Case ADB-36997462-K9H6, explaining that I had created a drag and drop to simulate the proper pad placement process. However, there currently is not forced navigation with drag and drop that would allow me to require the learner to select and place the first pad listed before they can place the second. Is there a possibility that your…

  3. Bug on slide interaction

    I have created an If Condition that shows a text field if 3 checkboxes are ticked. If they are not ticked the text is hidden.
    Here's the issue:
    When entering this slide and ticking the correct boxes the text stays hidden - BUT when going to the previous or next slide and then back to this slide the text is shown.
    Is this a bug or am I doing smth wrong?
    I also tried it with making the "hide during publish" but that's not working at all with the needed conditions.

    Please help me, thanks!

  5. Allow videos to be split across multiple slides.

    One of the main reasons we use Captivate is to allow LMS bookmarking in videos. We spread the video over multiple Captivate slides, so that it will return users more or less to where they left off. Our LMS doesn't do this. The new Cp no longer allows us to do this, so we continue using the old Cp.

  6. Play head on timeline always jumps to the right side.

    When I want something to appear on the stage and in sync with the audio I use the timeline. However every time I play the time line it jumps to the far right and makes it difficult to see the time and when I want a paragraph to appear on the stage. If the play head is in the middle of the timeline and I press play it should play from the middle of the timeline. But it immediately jumps to the far right and then makes everything difficult to time things on the stage. All other applications I have…

  7. allow text boxes to be resized

    text boxes are fixed width and cannot be resized to accommodate for other objects or portions of an image. this is completely restrictive. even text boxes that are inserted manually (vs choosing one of the very fixed slide templates) cannot be resized.

  9. unique feedback for each answer in multiple choice

    I would like to have the ability to select different feedback captions depending on which multiple-choice answer was selected. This will make the feedback caption less generic and provide an opportunity to teach or reinforce during assessments as well.

  12. Bug: Quiz Results "Continue" Button not working

    In Captivate 12.6, the Continue button no longer stops the slide and waits for the user to click. Once the timeline hits the end, the slide moves on or the course ends, depending on how you have your settings. There is no way to set any actions on the button either.

  13. Dedicated Description Location option

    I would like a dedicated location where all the timeline callouts appear in the same location. There are times when the callout blocks out the other hotspots, when the callout appears. I often times have a location on the image that is clear and would like that all callouts appear there since they close each other out.

    Ultimately I would like to manually move the callouts to where ever I feel is the most appropriate location.

  15. Slide navigation issue

    If my parent slide is longer than a single slide, when I navigate from an overlay slide back to the parent slide, it jumps all the way to the top of the slide. This causes frustration as the learner now has to scroll all the way to where they left off just to continue the content.
    On the other hand, when navigating from one slide to the next slide, the next slide opens at the bottom of the slide.

    For slide-to-slide navigation, it should always start at the top and for overlay-to-parent it should resume where the learner left off.

  17. Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.

    In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

  19. Add the "Show/Hide during publish" option for Widget Blocks

    I would like to create an infinite-scroll style course, but the Widget blocks (which provide the bulk of interactivity) can't be hidden during publish.

  20. Fix / make possible animated SVG files (as hotspot icons in hotspot widget)

    It's possible to replace one hotspot icon in the hotspot widget with an animated SVG file (the file itself is animated, no captivate animation is used) and the animation works. However, if you try replacing more than one hotspot icon, the animation stops working (as shown in the attached GIFs).
