Incorporate ability to add two more blocks side-by-side by adjusting the block width.
Ability to add two or more blocks side-by-side by allowing to adjust the width of the blocks. This will help when navigation buttons or similar small elements are to be placed by the side of a text or other content blocks.

Control the size of an icon inside a button or hotspot
Need full control over the size of an icon inside a button(except S/M/L). You can only control the size of the button/padding arround it.
Need full control over size of button. S/M/L is not enough.
Need full customisation of buttons via import of SVGs, not just the icon inside the button. (This can be achieved by inserting an SVG and making it interactive but being able to create and save new buttons would be much better UX.)

Retain items for whole project
In Captivate classic we could insert items (like a navigation toolbar) on one slide and display it for every slide thereafter in the project. Please include that option in this version.

Random question pools

Replace old audio file in project asset with new
When I want to use an updated audio file that I have saved under the same file name as previously used audio file, Captivate doesn't replace the old one (at least not in the timeline). I have to save the updated audio file under a different file name. Small detail, but in other Adobe products (e.g., Premiere Pro), I replace the old file with the new one (same name) in the source folder and voila - replaced in my timeline...

Save Button
I would like to suggest a save button be physically present on the toolbar to make saving easy but also as a reminder to users to press it frequently.
41 votesHi All,
We are considering autosave feature. We already have ctrl+s to save the project.
Please let me know in case autosave feature will be more feasible rather than having save button on the top.

Save project as a template not just a theme
In Captivate Classic, it was easy to reuse slides from a previous project where you had done the heavy lifting of creating layouts, animations, etc. by just choosing File Save As, to essentially create a new template (and even save it as one) to more easily replicate what you've done in a new project.
I want the same options in Captivate 12 to save the project completely with a new name (duplicate it essentially) so that I can just update and modify content for the new project.
I don't just want to save the colors/fonts/ I want the whole thing…

Make "Duration" display in TOC optional
Please enable us in the TOC and/or Playbar settings to omit the display of duration for each slide. Slide durations are in many trainings insignificant.

You should be able to copy the appearance of buttons on quiz slides
You can copy the appearance of virtually anything on the main slides, with buttons being the most common in my case because I want to use a specific font, color, etc. But on the quiz you inexplicably cannot copy the appear of buttons and so now I have to manually set each Submit, View Answer, Back, and Next button on every Quiz slide individually which is a huge pain.

automatic captions
Generate captions automatically for audio narration just like in Premiere Pro. I'd prefer to edit the typos than have to MANUALLY type every work of the narration. This is so tedious and minor changes often require re-timing the captions several times during a project.
Please talk to each other inside Adobe and figure out how to do this in Captivate. Thank you!

CSV import - numerical character issue
Can't import CSV files if any of the cells START with numerical characters. In order for the import to work, I have to add alphabetical characters in front of the numerical ones. I then have to go clean up the quiz questions in Captivate and remove those letters. It's time consuming and allows for unnecessary errors.

Simulation
I notice that in software simulations, if you have a highlight box in the same spot as a click box, it prevents the click box from being clicked.
Also really missing the ability to hide slides in the filmstrip, the audio panel, as well as the library.

Rearranging states - change default state
I would like to be able to rearrange the sequence of the states, or have a copy/paste possibility. At this moment only the duplicate (CTRL-D) is available but the duplicates cannot be moved. Since I have a touch screen I would prefer to be able to use the touch feature, but can live with using the mouse or trackpad as well.
Moreover it would be great to be able to choose another default state than the first one created. I solve that at this moment by using an interaction triggered by the On Enter slide event, but since there are…5 votes -

I wish that you could simply insert powerpoint slides again. That has made things so much easier.

Video in the background during quiz question
I would like to run a video in the background without it being interrupted when a quiz overlay takes place. I would like the video to simply continue running uninterrupted while the quiz question appears. I think this was possible in the 2019 version. not now. please very important!!!

Provide regular updates
Please update your users on the future features of the new Captivate and the life span of Captivate Classic. Currently the new Captivate does not come close to meeting our eLearning development needs. With the news that Captivate Classic will not be supported after 2025, we are feeling the need to switch our authoring tool. If I knew what features were going to be available in the new version, I might stay.
