[Bug] Margin in Tabs widget prevents styling via `designOption.json`
In the Tabs widget, Captivate applies the following CSS rule to an inner container:
.cp-tabs-widget .cp-tabs-container .cp-widget-content-container > div { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 10px 0px; }The
margin: 10px 0pxcannot be controlled viadesignOptions.json. Visual styling such as margin or padding should be configurable.1 vote -
[Bug] Inline margin in Tabs widget (cp-content-image)
In the Tabs widget, Captivate injects an inline margin (
margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px) into thecp-content-imageelement at page generation:<div class="cp-content-image" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px; padding: 0px; flex: 0 1 40%;">...</div>This behavior overrides any margin settings defined in

Improve documentation for design options
The design options concept is the most powerful feature in Captivate 12 and the key to building custom layouts. However, documentation is very limited. It is often unclear which JSON properties are actually supported for each widget, and many entries defined in the JSON are not transformed by Captivate.
Suggested improvement:
- Provide an example.json file for every widget, showing all possible properties (“grammar”) of the design options.
- Especially for more complex widgets (accordion, tabs, carousel, etc.), this would help developers understand what can be customized.
- Include notes for properties that are not yet transformed but are planned…1 vote -
[Feature] Additional content wrapper for all design objects
Problem:
Currently,div.cp-widget-containerdirectly contains the widget elements.Suggestion:
It is recommended to introduce an additional content wrapper element belowdiv.cp-widget-containerfor all widgets (videos, text, images, quizzes, etc.). This new wrapper should hold the actual content and control its maximum width, while the outer container can still be used for full-width background styling.Benefits:
1. The existingdiv.cp-widget-containercan continue to provide full-width background styling (color, image, etc.), stretching across the entire slide.
2. The new inner wrapper (e.g.,div.cp-widget-container__inner) should hold the actual content and define a maximum content width to center and structure the layout consistently.…1 vote -
[Feature] Wrap VideoCaption and VideoBody in their own container
Caption and Body should be nested in their own parent element for flexible layout, e.g.:
<container-video-grid> <container-video-grid-card> <video></video> <videoText> <videoCaption></videoCaption> <videoBody></videoBody> </videoText> </container-video-grid-card> </container-video-grid>Benefit: Easier layout control, consistent spacing, flexible arrangement of video and text.

[Bug] Remove inline height on page generation
Captivate currently injects a fixed inline height (220px) into Video Grid containers at page generation:
<div id="videoContainer_si78699" class="videoContainer" data-desktop-height="220" automation-id="slidevideo:::container_aspectratio" style="height: 220px; width: 100%;">This prevents proper responsive behavior and overrides custom CSS.
Expected behavior: No fixed inline height should be injected. Instead, the container should default to
height: 100%, so that its size can be fully controlled by parent elements defined in thedesignOption.json.1 vote -
Mouse Pointer Settings
Allow for editing the color of the mouse pointer or include the one that looks exactly like a mouse on your computer. We want to be as realistic as possible and the mouse that looked most accurate in Adobe Captivate Classic is not available in the All-New version of Captivate. The closest looking one is gray, but there is no way to change the color of it to white.

Cards and LMS Reporting
I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on each of the cards l so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can tag the image on the card as reportable if it's clicked, and I can tag the Title of the card as reportable, but if you just click within the card and not on the icon or a label direclty, seems I can't report the fact that the card was flipped as a score to the LMS. For example, if there are 4 cards, and the user clicked 3,…

Carousel Widget and LMS Reporting
I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on the items of the carousel so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can only report if they click on the arrow. If I have 4 items, and they keep clicking the arrow (say 6 times), do they keep getting points? Seems I should be able to report on the card states instead. If they only click on 2 of 4 cards, I want the LMS to report 2 as a reportable score.

Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.
Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

Fix closed caption importing.
When I import closed captions, it creates captions that say "no audio" to fill all the blank space. This more or less renders the functionality useless.

Accordion Widget formatting
Accordion should also allow:
- formatting the text inside the accordion tabs content, as now you can only apply presets, but not add bold or italic to the content
- more than one tab open at the same time as an option, or all the tabs to be open altogether
- copy and paste appearance of tabs
- include the tab text in the states, so the text can have different colours in each state1 vote -
Adding an Accessibility Checker
Having an integrated accessibility checker in the All New Adobe Captivate would be immensely beneficial for ensuring that content consistently meets accessibility standards. It would be nice receive actionable feedback based on key WCAG guidelines, allowing for the immediate identification of accessibility issues, similar to the features available in Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint. If Adobe Captivate could implement this, it would be a game-changer, particularly in light of the new ADA Title II digital accessibility rule about to hit a lot of areas.

Rearranging slides is not working
When I try to drag a slide to a different position within the stack, it either snaps back to its original position or places it far up in the stack at a completely different position.

Need to be able to scale video to fit slide. Basic 101.
Unable to move the Video to the center of the slide and scale it. It does not scale, and it does not leave the top of the page, unless I add Top padding. But adding padding is not an option b/c it fills it black and it is unbalanced top and bottom. I can not delete the color behind the video.

Simulation Blur Area Enhancements
In software simulations where private information is consistently visible (ex: Financial Institutions, Healthcare Systems, etc.), it is difficult to make the sizing of blur areas consistent across slides in Assessment & Training Software Simulations. This could be distracting for end users, and doesn't enable the quality I'd like to deliver. Can you add the ability to copy/paste these blocks, input pixel measurements, or some kind of setting to allow the blur to appear on subsequent slides?
