  1. Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.

    I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.

  3. Bug: Consolidating different simulations into a single file swaps FMR videos

    Because Captivate constantly crashes during the recording of simulations, I've decided to record shorter simulations and then consolidate them into a single file. The problem is, especially for FMR slides, the video is getting swapped — i.e., the audio is correct for that slide, but the video shown in the preview (and the SCORM output) is from a different slide. Captivate, however, shows the video as if everything were fine, so there is really no way fix it because for Captivate it's not broken.

  5. ragesh.c@gds.ey.com

    The new Adobe Captivate version does not support adding custom navigation elements like in the Classic version. Currently, the header and footer only allow limited customization—such as displaying the course name, page number, and TOC. There is no option to globally add essential navigation buttons like Back, Next, Glossary, or Resources across the course design. This limitation significantly impacts the flexibility and user experience of eLearning modules. Please consider reintroducing the ability to create and apply custom navigation players, as available in Adobe Captivate Classic.

  7. Accessibility Bug: The scrolling text area does not have a tab index

    The click to reveal widget forces a scrolling text box. This text box cannot be scrolled by a keyboard user, because there is no tab index on the box itself. It is also not clear that the text box is scrollable, because the thumb for the scrollbar is hidden until scrolling with the mouse. This box should be responsive on browser zoom and expand vertically to show the text, rather than cut the text off in a scrolling area. If it must do a scrolling area, that scrolling area needs the scroll bar thumb as an indicator, and also needs…

  8. [Feature] Extended styling options for buttons in designOption.json

    Problem:
    Currently, not all styles available in the Captivate GUI can be set via the button’s designOption.json.
    Examples: gradient in shapeData, inner/outer shadows including position, and certain icon settings do not apply.

    Suggestion:
    Extend the button’s designOption.json, so that all styles available in the GUI can be applied.
    Additionally, as with content_blocks and smart_widgets, the JSON for buttons should be extended with customStyles.

  9. [Feature] Control visibility of Design Options in the GUI

    Problem:
    All Design Options currently appear automatically in the menu, including those that are only used within other Design Options.

    Suggestion:
    Add a property in designOption.json (e.g., visible: false) to control the visibility of a Design Option, so internal options are not shown in the menu.

  10. Bug: Copy & Paste Between Projects

    Copy and Paste between projects has now been included, but many slides crash upon pasting into the new project. I can paste some slides with no issues, but others cause the program to crash. I can reproduce the crash over and over, but can't seem to narrow down the reason why some slides cause the crash. I can narrow down to particular slides however. Also, add the ability to Drag & Drop slides between projects. Captivate 12.5

  11. make textbox in Overlay of Click-To-Reveal widget adjustable in size instead of adding scrollbars..

    When adding text to the textbox in the overlay of the "click to reveal" widget, the system adds scrollbars. it would be more convenient and user friendly if the textbox could be adjusted in size. Also in proportion to the whole overlay container.

  12. Add Ability to Lower Slide/Thumbnail Resolution to Improve Editing Time

    Currently the program is super slow, and it's frustrating sitting there waiting for thumbnails of slides to process before I can even click them. I wish there was a way we could lower the resolution of our slides/thumbnails (like how Adobe After Effects allows you to lower the resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 to enable faster editing).

    I don't need my slides and thumbnails to look perfectly crisp while editing and if they were lower resolution in the editor it might help me speed up my process.

    I use some animated GIFs as images, and in the thumbnails Captivate is…

  13. Playhead Not Accurate In Timeline

    This is especially noticeable when I've just added a new audio to the slide. I add the audio, press play on the timeline, and the playhead is frozen in place while the audio plays uncontrollably in the background. Eventually the playhead starts moving, but it's inaccurate. When the screen is frozen and the audio is playing, I have to just sit there and wait for the playhead to start moving. If I click anything before the playhead starts moving again, the program can crash or freeze.

    I've noticed the timeline is pretty inaccurate in general, and I have to time…

  14. [Feature] Custom placeholder text and images in `designOption.json`

    Problem:
    Currently, placeholder text and images in Design Options are fixed. When placing a design option, a default image and Lorem Ipsum text appear.

    Suggestion:
    Allow defining custom placeholder text and images directly in the designOption.json for each widget or slide element.

    {
    "tag": "slide-item-image",
    "placeholder": "placeholder.png",
    "customStyles": {
        "all": {
            "imageContainerStyles": {}
        }
    }
}

    Benefit:
    - Designers immediately see the expected image size and proportions.
    - Placeholder text can indicate the function of the text (“Headline”, “Subtext”, etc.).
    - Increases consistency and standardization across slides and projects.

  15. [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 0px cannot be controlled via designOptions.json. Visual styling such as margin or padding should be configurable.

  16. [Bug] Inline margin in Tabs widget (cp-content-image)

    In the Tabs widget, Captivate injects an inline margin (margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px) into the cp-content-image element 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 designOption.json.

  17. [Feature] Additional content wrapper for all design objects

    Problem:
    Currently, div.cp-widget-container directly contains the widget elements.

    Suggestion:
    It is recommended to introduce an additional content wrapper element below div.cp-widget-container for 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 existing div.cp-widget-container can 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.…

  18. [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.

  19. [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 the designOption.json.

  20. 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.
