have the hand cursor an option you can turn off like in classic
Hide the hand (cursor) when hovering over the hotspot so I can create a "find the error by clicking on it" type of knowledge check without the hand cursor giving away the location of the right answer.

Enabling a border around click boxes
Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.
Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.
Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

provide better support for xAPI
When I publish to xAPI using Adobe Captivate (modern and classic), I cannot get it to generate POST statements to my Learning Record Store when I run the content. Spent a lot of time working with my friend Claude to troubleshoot, but no success.

Publishing over an existing published folder of the same name (as after making revisions), erases the contents
If you make revisions to a project that you previously published to a folder, and you re-publish over that same folder, it erases the contents of the folder and does not create new published content. You end up with a folder that only has the project.text file in it.

feedback caption missing
I have a MCQ slide with multiple answers. If I do not select enough answers, but the ones that I do select are correct, there is no feedback caption shown. It moves straight to the next slide.
eg.
my MCQ has 5 possible answers
of those 5 answers, 3 are correct
when answering the question, if i only select 1 or 2 correct answers and nothing else, the feedback caption does not show.1 vote -
Add a completion dialog to the "Remove Unused Items" function
The option "Remove Unused Items" is helpful and seems to do the job of cleaning up the project file and reducing its size. However, under Captivate 12.6.0 there is no completion dialog to inform the user that the function has been completed. A useful dialog might be something like the following:
All unused items have been removed from this project.
48 items were removed, reducing this project file size by 586k.

Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox
I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

In the ellipsis for Share for Review, it would be nice to have a download all feedback next to delete. This would be useful for record-keeping.

Add speed adjustments to the AI voices
In other programs with AI voices, we can adjust the speed. The new voices are really good, but it would be nice to slow them down or speed them up depending on the need for a slide.

Fit Font to Slide
Kathleen and I think it would be beneficial when editing a theme to have an option that adjusts the font size to fit the content displayed on a slide. i.e. ensure that there are no line breaks for the currently selected content.

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.

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.

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.

Bug: Recording simulations as a demo, a training, and an assessment at the same time doesn't usually work
When recording is finished, at least one of them crashes.

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.

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…

[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’sdesignOption.json.
Examples: gradient inshapeData, inner/outer shadows including position, and certain icon settings do not apply.Suggestion:
Extend the button’sdesignOption.json, so that all styles available in the GUI can be applied.
Additionally, as withcontent_blocksandsmart_widgets, the JSON for buttons should be extended withcustomStyles.1 vote
