  1. Blur does'nt work in preview

    There is an issue with the blur area in software simulations with Captivate 12.4. When viewing the preview, the blur area does not hide the element on which it was placed in the project. Same thing when changing the view for phone or tablet devices in the preview.

  2. Spell Check

    Captivate Classic allowed spell-checking text, including closed captions. Let's bring this functionality back in the all-new Captivate!

  4. Slide Navigator Bug

    The slide navigator in version 12.5 incorrectly shows half slides. To reproduce, I select a slide, go to audio and add an AI text to Speech with the Timeline showing. Then, I attempt to update the button on the timeline to show for the entire slide. Upon returning from this action the slide view shows only half the slide and a blank areas where the timeline shows. If you scroll the the slides up and down, the slides will correct themselves. See the screen shot with items in red. Other slides in purple look fine because I have not added…

  5. TOC - Drag & Drop operation not working properly

    The drag and drop features are not working correctly in the TOC. This is happening in 12.4 & 12.5. Create a larger project. Try dragging and dropping TOC items from the bottom of the TOC list to the top. The scroll does not work properly. If you scroll using the mouse wheel, the item you are trying to drop is lost from the drag operation. It seems you can only drop an item a few entries or else it drops in a random place or back in it's original position within the list.

  6. Compare and Contrast Image/text media block

    I want a media block that has an image in the center and two text blocks on the side to allow for a compare and contrast / pros and cons content.
    I would also like for it to provide images on both sides and text in the middle.

    BUG!

    Assets panels again...

    When using the Assets panel, if you use the search field to find a template and choose to insert it, it never stops loading.

    Adobe Support has suggested scrolling down to find what you need, instead of searching for what you need. Not good enough. This bug needs to be fixed ASAP!

    The new Adobe Captivate looks a lot like an unfinished product, puts Adobe's reputation at risk. I use other Adobe products since 1994 and have never seen anything so inconsistent.

  9. space bar plays/pauses

    Unless we are actively editing text, can you make it so that whenever a timeline shows, the space bar plays/pauses? Please include the timeline for closed captions.

  10. Show full slide name

    Please show the entire slide name. I would say give the option of showing two lines on the list of slides. Even if you can do that though, please display two lines or more in the properties area on the right. It kills me that you have to click on the name to edit it, in order to use your arrow key to move around and read it.

  11. The labels are not changing in my project when I change them under preferences

    When I open quizzing labels under preferences, I am able to change the default labels to my desired statement. However, when I run a preview on the slide, the labels are back to the system default labels, not the statement I chose.

  12. responsive design - Complaint:

    I find it incredibly irritating that I can’t create my eLearning content in a non-responsive format. Transitioning to the new Captivate has been difficult, especially when it comes to using my own templates. I struggle with placing titles and buttons where I want them.

    Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on creating custom templates. I’ve searched for videos on this topic, but most only showcase the default themes in Captivate. A tutorial specifically focused on custom templates would be extremely helpful.

    Furthermore, the Table of Contents needs to be updated to allow for the addition of brand colors and fonts, as…

  14. Display Time Limit for question slides

    The ability to add a time limit per question slides is great, however it would be nice to display this countdown timer to learners so they can gauge how much time they have left. Is there a system variable that could be displayed or other method to achieve this?

  15. Restrict Navigation until Slide End

    Many stakeholders request that navigation be turned off until the slide/audio completes, i.e., forced navigation. In order to accomplish this currently, I have to either create my own navigation buttons or hide the playbar upon slide enter and show it at the end of the slide. The latter option isn't feasible because users can no longer toggle closed caption on/off while audio is playing. Both workaround options are time consuming.

    I propose adding a feature that allows the developer to disable only the forward button (not the entire playbar) until the slide audio completes.

  17. Jump to bookmark with Overlay - Audio Issue

    On my main slide, I added bookmarks (located after the slide audio). The bookmarks open an overlay slide with audio. If I jump to the first bookmark before the main slide audio is finished, the overlay opens and the overlay audio plays; however, the main slide audio also starts over and plays at the same time. If I wait for the main slide audio to end and jump to the first bookmark, it does not happen.

    Note - it works fine in preview but not after publishing.

  18. allow two or more items to be selected on the timeline simultaneously

    Only one item can be selected in the timeline at at time. There are times when I need to move 2+ items to the same location on the timeline. Allowing for multiple items in the timeline to be selected simultaneously ensures the timing is accurate and is more efficient.

  19. Ability to undock panels.

    Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

  20. Add ability to change states of text block - not just the components within the block

    It would be great if there was an option to change the state of a text block, not just the components within the block.

    For example, I'd like the ability to change the text of the title subtitle, but I also want to be able to change the background color of the entire block based on an action of the user.
