  1. Change slide/capture size

    We typically use the custom size option for capturing specific items on a page. It would be beneficial for the project to convert to this size or be able to resize the screen/project to the size of the capture window.

  3. Improve Calibration for Software Simulation - Captivate 12.3

    With Captivate 12.3 (Windows 11 laptop), when I prepare to do a software simulation and select Narration and then calibrate, the audio is so quiet, regardless of which microphone I use, that it's inaudible in the project. Suggest you add the ability to manually calibrate, or address this if it's a bug.

  4. Link javascript file to project

    Include an option to link an external javascript file to a Captivate project. In Cp 12 in particular such a link would be good in the "Project properties" under PUBLISH SETTINGS. An external js file would allow a sophisticated use of moderrn JS within a project. It would also go along well with the concept of ADD JAVASCRIPT CODE TO THE PUBLISHED HTML AT RUNTIME, formulated on https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/captivate/help/javascript-interface-adobe-captivate.html.

  5. Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results.

    Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results. This allows us to see what the learner knows before training and what they learned after training.

  6. Transfer value system variable to user variable

    It seems not to be possible to transfer the value of a system variable to a user variable, at least I have been trying without success. I want to show partial results of a quiz in a custom results slide (the default results slide has no Enter event). This means that I need to transfer the score obtained so far (Quiz.Score) to a user variable. There is a action Assign variable to variable but I am not able to indicate the quizzing system variable.

  7. Touch screens

    I know that Captivate Classic never has enabled the possibilities of touch screens, but for an application created from scratch, ignoring this is a pity. Why cannot I rearrange the actions in an interaction by dragging? The Up/Down arrow are not functional to rearrange the actions within one interaction. The old iPad app could use a touch screen, on my Surface Pro I only have difficulties within this new version. I can accept that for the canned templates and blocks, but not for something like actions in an interaction.

  8. Exporting not working

    The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

  13. Increase processing speed

    I have found the application to be very slow in processing clicks. I am finding that I need to click or double click multiple times to get the application to respond. I am on a corporate network, not a dial-up, so I know it's not on my end.

  14. Translation Back/Next in Preferences

    Preferences, Quizzing, Default labels give the opportunity to translate also labels for buttons (not all). Back/Next labels are there, and they are used during Review in all situations, but the translation is not applied. This means, that the developer needs to translate all buttons individually on each slide. Same is the case for all buttons on the Score slide. Since there is no On Enter event for that slide, nor the possibility to add custom states to the buttons you cannot use that score slide when you have question slides in multiple languages in one project. I really hope that…

  15. Quick Start Projects in 12.3

    Some bugs:
    Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
    You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
    I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
    I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…

  19. Buggy - Locking up & Unreliable

    Captivate locks up frequently on me. Most recently, it locked up during save. When I went back into the program, it no longer had my project listed. The appropriate file within my documents opens captivate, but locks it up with the eternal wait circle. My project at this point seems non-retrievable and will need to be redone. I have to force quit the program. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

  20. Allow text entry boxes to be fully customizable like Captivate 2019

    1. Allow auto submit w/o needing to hit Enter or Submit
    2. Allow TEB height to be adjustable
    3. Allow padding to be adjustable so I can use bigger text size without making the box taller
