  1. 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 state

  2. Get rid of the breaths in AI voices

    Real humans do pause for breaths, but professional narrators do so less, and professional productions edit it out. So why do AI voices need so many pauses where we hear a breath sound?

  3. typewriter animation not playing/working

    When trying to apply the typewriter animation to a subtitle of text, I am unable to "test" it or see it in my preview. The text just either doesn't show up at all, or it shows up all at once. This is a popular animation that shows to have lots of bugs. Please fix it.

  4. BUG: Resetting Drag and drop widget objects states

    When the user clicks on "RESET" button to start a new attempt, the drag objects don't return to their "Normal" state, instead, they return to the "Dropped" state (picture attached after resetting shows objects that were dragged and return to dropped state).

    This is quite confusing.

    Also, the hover has an inconsistent behaviour when the mouse mover over the images, not always the mouse pointer is detected and make the objects flick between the normal and hover states.

    This widget is far from useful or complete with so many bugs and terrible responsiveness.

  5. Bug: Click to reveal setting not working

    When you add a click to reveal and set the setting "Move to the next slide when the widget completes" to on, it never works in the course. I had to add a button to allow the user to continue on in the course. I would also add a "widget complete" variable so I can use logic to determine the status of a widget when I need to add conditions. For example, I only want my "Continue" button to appear when the widget completes, but there is no options to find the status of the widget.

  6. BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6

    I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.

    If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…

  7. Text-to-speech Missing on Software Simulations

    It seems after a software simulation mouse click is added to your project, you can't add text-to-speech. The work around I found was to remove all mouse clicks, then add the text-to-speech, and then go back and add the mouse clicks. It shouldn't be that picky.

  8. Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop

    The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!

    • The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
    • The drag objects get very small when they are images
    • The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
    • If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
    • Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
    • you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is…

  9. Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer

    A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
    - Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.

    • Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!

    • Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply…

  10. Why can't you choose 1 image? The button icon shows a layout that you can not achieve.

    If you look at the WIDGET to add - it shows an image on the left, and copy on the right. The Design option does not allow for 1 image. I want 1 Image and copy to the left like the widget. Please fix!!!!

  11. Add Down One/Up One arrows to the slide navigator for stepwise rearrangement of slides.

    It would be nice to have down one/up one arrows in the slide navigator to allow stepwise rearrangement of slides up or down in the stack. This is especially important since the drag-and-drop slide rearrangement is so buggy and imprecise.

  12. Right click on block and select move to reposition

    Sometimes, selecting and moving blocks to other positions is challenging, especially when you want to move a block to the end of a slide. It would be helpful to right-click on an empty area of a block, select Move, and then use the keyboard cursor arrows to move a block up or down.

  13. Multiple closed captions for Slide/Event video

    For the purposes of localization it would be helpful to have more than one closed caption SRT/VTT file for each video in the course and allow the user to select their own language preferences.

  15. Enable us to move images to the location of our choice on the slide. Also, allow us to stack or overlap images on top of one another.

    Currently, you have limited control over where an image is placed on the screen. For example, I was attempting to place our company logo in the lower right side of the screen, but could not do this. I would also like to be able to add an image on top of another image. For example, I might like to have a check mark appear over another image at a certain point during the narration.

  16. 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.

  17. retain initial closed caption text for text to speech

    If I navigate to another slide while typing up my closed captions for text to speech, I lose all the input text unless I generate the audio. It would be nice if the captions were to retain themselves for when I return to that slide.

  18. Allow text / caption boxes to be placed on top of other objects on the screen, like in Captivate Classic.

    It would be great to be able to place text boxes on top of video or image elements like we could in Classic. This helps call out specific things in a demo.

  19. mouse click sound

    When I preview a slide, the sound of the mouse click during the mouse movement plays at the beginning of the animation even though the timeline shows it near the end. There is also no way to adjust the time when a mouse click plays. Sometimes I want to fine tune it. It does play correctly when published. Just the preview has this issue.

  20. Improve the Accordion Widget with enabling next button after navigation

    Implement the possibility of only making the "Next" button visible after the user has navigated all or some of the tabs. Or at least, that we can assign interactions to its tabs buttons so we can turn visibility of buttons or work with variables.
