  2. Next Slide or Go To Slide will transition to slide starting at the bottom of the content rather than the top

    I am using a custom button to advance to the next slide or go to another slide with "none" transition/animation. When you click the button, the next slide starts at the bottom of the content, rather than starting at the top (beginning) of the next slide. It is important to note that these slides have some scrolling as the content doesn't fit within the regular slide dimensions and vertical length is a bit longer. Please see attached video example.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.)

  7. Random question pools

    Allow us to add random question pools to the quiz so that each student receives a randomized/different quiz. Able to do this in Captivate 2019, but not the new version.

  9. Custom Themes Prior to Recording Software Simulations

    It would be amazing to be able to apply a theme prior to recording a Software Simulation to decrease the amount of editing that has to be done after the recording. Specifically, it would be helpful if the Instructions component color and font could either be defined prior to recording. And it would be thrilling if I could edit the Instructions component color and/or font AFTER recording and have the option to "Apply to all slides" like you can with the Mouse properties. Right now, the Instructions color and font have to be changed one slide at a time after…

  11. 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.

  12. 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...

  13. 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.

  14. 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!

  15. add layering text on top of images and images on top of text.

    I wanted to layer text on top of an image but for the text be more formatted to the right of the image. Even with the workaround and padding, I cannot get my text to the far right of the image.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. Increase number of pages allowed in carousel widget

    I would like to be able to add more than 6 pages/items to the carousel widget. I understand that the tabs and flip cards widgets are limited due to the required space to display the tabs/cards, but the carousel does not have the same limitation.

    For example, we have a training with 8 core principles that would be great for learners to click through each principle via the carousel, but I cannot use this interaction currently due to the limit of 6.

    Having a maximum of 10 or 12 seems more appropriate and flexible. Or if possible, do not set…
