Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make accessible, keyboard users need a visible focus area
Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make a click box accessible, it needs to have a visible focus area (high contrast) to indicate when a keyboard user is on the object. When using buttons, or states, of an object, the states are only visible when using a mouse (states will not show when navigating a course with the keyboard).

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.

Click box interaction
I really miss smart shapes and being able to put click boxes wherever I want on slides that are 'regular' slides, not software sim slides. For instance, if you have a map and want to make parts of the map clickable.
Hotspots are OK , you can change the opacity to 0 and have an invisible area to click... but I can't add an action to it to do something like take a user to another slide.
As a workaround I use a software simulation slide and change the background image. Then I add click boxes for the areas I…

Simulation highlight boxes in theme editor
It would be very helpful to have simulation elements design properties be added to the theme editor so that they do not need to be manually changed in each project. I believe this was a feature in Captivate classic.

make preview match what I see in Captivate
When I am creating slides in Captivate and go to preview them, often what I see on the preview is different than what i see on the main Captivate screen. This is extremely frustrating. See attached pics. Why are they different?

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).

add the ability to embed audio in hotspots and carousels
hotspots cannot trigger audio when clicked. for example parts of the body. When user clicks or hovers over the hotspot, they should be able to hear the name of that part. we can have an interaction like play media for each hotspot or embedd the audio in the callout. The same can be done for all widgets and carousels. they currently have no ability to play audio

menus
Can you add everything back into menus? I just want to publish and what not, without having to find the right button on the screen. Just have menus with all the commands. People can ignore them if they want.

Closed Captions Editing is Glitchy
When working with closed captions, my cursor disappears and it is difficult to see where I am editing, if I am editing at all. I have to select all and click to get the cursor to show or to reposition it. After selecting all and clicking, I can use arrow keys to move it, but it no longer shows on screen.

Overlay text over an image - image over image placement
It is nice to overlay images with texts. e.g. to number pictures or putting adding a text to a picture like the Smartforms in CPC.
Placing Text over a picture will help in several cases to have a better user guidance.
Additionally image over image might help too. E.g a printscreen of a software and putting 1. 2. 3 above the screen according to the audio instruction.8 votes -

Fix a number of issues in the assets panel.
A lot of Thumbnails for slide templates do not appear in the Assets panel, instead there's a "broken link" image. It is impossible to identify which template you are using.
There's no indication of what kind of template they are. A title like "Title and Image" or "Character and text" or "Multiple Choice" would be useful to identify which template you need.
There could be an option to increase the thumbnail size, to better choose what you need.
The insert process is way too slow, even with a good internet connection.…

be able to copy paste from another project
In 2019 Captivate, you can copy/paste an entire slide or section of slides from one project to another. You don't seem to have this option in the new version. The clipboard doesn't seem to work across projects. This would be very helpful.

add AI voice cloning option for updating legacy narration clips. My CP clients like my own voice and branding continuity is important.
I use Eleven Labs but it would be much easier to add voice cloning into CP. Or, acquire Eleven Labs and integrate it into all of Adobe multimedia products!

Lost .cptx File After License Error and Reinstallation – Help Needed
Even though my Adobe Captivate license was active, I received a license expiration error. A sales rep shared a reactivation link, which prompted a reinstall. I followed the process, including uninstalling the old version, installing the new one from Adobe’s site, and restarting my system.
After this, I discovered my most recent .cptx project file—saved on June 12 with final changes—was missing. The only version left is from June 11, but the published output (dated June 12) reflects all the final edits.
Adobe Support said the file can’t be recovered from the published version. This is frustrating, especially since it's…

Enable more design features for the quiz slides
Currently if you insert a quiz slide you cannot add any additional design elements - they are all greyed out. It would be great if there was more flexibility with the design on these slides as it is a critical slide for e-learning

Splash Screen on Startup Covers Everything on My Computer
In most other Adobe Apps, the splash screen on start up (the loading screen with artwork) will pop up, and I am able to look at other things on my computer while it's loading. For some reason, Captivate's splash screen is automatically layered on top of everything else on my computer, so I have to sit and wait for Captivate to slowly start before I can do anything.
It would be great if the splash screen behaved the way it does in other Adobe Applications. Thanks!
