  1. feedback multistate object in quiz

    At this moment the default position of that multistate object is at the top. However that means that the control panel for the 3 layouts is overlapping the feedback messages during Preview. It would be better to put that default location to the bottom.
    BTW, it would be nice to have the Show 'captions' remain active until they are hidden again by the developer. Now you have to show them individually on each slide, which means a lot of time loss when editing the content of those messages, since you need to scroll down in the properties panel to find…

  2. Change the color of the selected indicator on carousel widget

    I am not able to change the selected color of the indicator on a carousel. I can change the unselected color, but the selected is always this blue. It would be great if I could change it according to my theme. Changing the theme colors had no effect.

  3. Add ability to add additional text block to image block.

    Currently you can only have a caption and subtitle on the image block. It would be helpful to be able to insert additional text blocks. This would allow for you to do things like adjust the timing of each text block for bullets with audio narration.

  4. allow slides to reset when the learner returns to a slide they have already viewed.

    For software simulations in Training mode, once the learner has clicked on the click box and the slide advances, if they return to the slide, the click box doesn't work, and the instruction caption does not appear. Sometimes, learners need to go back a slide or two to review information again. The checkbox and instruction caption should be available for them to click on the second pass of a slide.

  5. New Captivate Backup file Icon displays as Classic Icon

    Currently, the new Captivate backup file icon appears identical to the classic Captivate icon. To ensure clarity and avoid mix-ups between the two applications, the new Captivate backup file icon should be displayed as the new Captivate icon.

  6. Pass/Fail actions in Quiz: allow condition

    The Success and Failure actions on the quiz slide are limited to standard actions. Please allow also conditional actions! Since we already lost advanced and shared actions as well as the On Enter event of the score slide, being able to use a condition would at least allow some customisation. Example: different navigation depending on the learner score (>80, between 60 and 80, below 60) is impossible now without adding extra slides and more work.

  7. 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.

  8. Add More Buttons. Need more than three (3) Built-In.

    Currently the BUTTONS option is only three (3) buttons - need more. Our Learners/Employees need forced navigation. We want to use the built-in Buttons, but three (3) will not work. Minimum of Five would work well.

  9. TTS - Connect to external speech services such as Azure Speech Studio

    Currently text to speech is extremely limited with legacy microsoft desktop and neo speech voices. Competitor products now provide the ablity to connect directly to new-gen neural speech generation platforms such as Azure Speech Studio (microsoft) and Amazon Poly. Ideally, text narrative on a slide could be generated in Azure Speech Studio with the click of a button and the audio is automatically placed in the slide. Currently I have to generate speech mp3 files in Azure, download them, then import them into Captivate which is a slow and convoluted process, especially if minor edits are required and the whole…

  10. Status Flags

    Allow status flags in the TOC again - it's great for our helpdesk people to troubleshoot users with issues completing modules - they can see if they've skipped anything. Right now flags show the first time through, but disappear after.

  11. When performing a "Save As" and selecting the Folder icon for the Location - adds ".cpt.cpt" to the filename

    Create a new file.
    Save the file.
    Select Save As and select the folder icon for Location
    RESULT: Filename by default shows {Filename}.cpt.cpt
    EXPECTED: Do NOT add the extraneous .cpt

    NOTE: Each time you select the folder icon additional .cpt is added

  12. Change source on videos in a Video Media Block

    How do you change the SOURCE for videos in a Video Media Block?

    I added a web source URL to a Video. I want to change that URL. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to edit or change a video source once added

  14. More formatting options Text to make the text look like buttons

    It is already possible to assign an action to text so it effectively functions as a button.

    I propose adding a customizable box outline and color to text could enhance its functionality and aesthetics, providing users with more flexibility in creating customized buttons and layouts.

    Then u could make the text match the other captivate buttons.

  16. 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!!!

  18. Saving Captions as Part of the Theme

    I would like the ability to save changes to feedback captions like Correct and Failure as part of the theme. This would save me time that I presently spend updating each caption one by one.

  19. Be able to group slides together

    I want the ability to group slides. In this use case, it would track different branches in scenario-based training. Still, thinking back to Captivate Classic, there are many reasons related to other features that would benefit users.
