  1. 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.

  2. allow placement of carousel widget next to text box

    I need the carousel to be next to text, not above or below. Images need to be viewed at the same time as the text is being read (not the same text as the figure caption). I also need much more images than the limited 6 (at least 15).

  3. Bug - Image Grid Text Overflow with Card Enabled

    On the image grid design option "Image Grid Vertical C1" there is a bug when you enable the card component.

    When the card is enabled, the text area for the caption and subtitle go past the boundary of the card. The issue persists at all content widths. If you make the content 100% wide and preview the slide, the text gets cut off.

    If I add padding to the cards at 30px, it pushes the text back into bounds, but that doesn't fit with my other card designs.

    If there is a way to adjust this in the JSON files…

    redo the click to reveal slides. Every time I change a picture on there, it tells me "something went wrong!" in the preview and I have to redo the entire slide. This is not sustainable. Please fix.

  5. Allow images to be moved anywhere on screen and then allow interactive elements to sit next to them

    Currently, I can not have an image on the left and an interactive question or dropdown on the right - I can only have text and the interactive element shows under everything. These elements should be able to be next to each other.

  7. 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.

  8. Usage Variables

    Please, restore the possibility to see if and where user variables are used in a project. This is very important, als partially due to a bug created a while ago that variables sometimes get duplicated without any warning about the reason, and they get of course a number added to their name in that process to keep the uniqueness of the names. It is now really a clunky workflow to try to find out why the variable was created and which one is used where.

  9. 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.

  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. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. ProjectLockTOC not functional

    That system variable used to be able to block all navigation by TOC. However when assigning the value True to it, the learner is still allowed to navigate to any slide.

  14. Find and Replace

    Like in previous versions of Adobe Captivate, a search for text and the ability to replace that text would be an essential feature in this application.

  16. 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…

  18. Allow customization of alignment and spacing properties for different responsive views

    Similar to how we can set different font sizes for desktop, tablet, and mobile views, I would like to be able to set the parameters of the Alignment and Spacing pane for each view - desktop, tablet, and mobile.

    By default, they should all match (i.e. when I set the parameters for the desktop view, those carry over to tablet and mobile) but I would like the option to set different widths for content on tablet/mobile views.

    On desktop, I may have an image background, so I have the text content fit into 60% to allow users to see the…

  19. Change default formatting for objects

    Unless I am missing something, there doesn't appear to be any way to change the default formatting for objects like Highlight boxes, Instruction boxes, etc. Or, to easily create multiple slides with consistant font formatting without manually choosing the same Preset (or custom preset). The Copy Appearance feature is not an acceptable replacement for that ability. I don't want to have to click dozens or hundreds of objects to copy formatting.

  20. add a module for us to create a slide header/footer

    for the usual logo/couple of links menu (in my case, Main Menu and Glossary) make it a module that the user can apply and not a required slide format. As it is, the 'image' module is useless for this purpose.
