  2. Reorder position of elements in blocks

    We should be able to reorder the elements of a block (title, image, subtile, etc.) by drag and drop. Example: the title could come before an image.

  3. Check for update

    In Adobe Captivate, the only way to check the version and/or see if there is an update is to create a new project; or open a new project. It would be nice to be able to do the same in the home screen.

  4. Three Outcomes for Quiz Results Slides

    Presently there are two possible Review Area results messages, however there are three possible results of some quizzes.
    1. You passed
    2. You failed
    3. You ran out of tries

    It would be nice to have the third Review Area message available when a set number of tries have been set in the Interactions Section of the Results slide.

    I have a client right now who wants this configuration but it requires a custom solution on my part.

  5. Bug - Cannot Add Slide Video Block

    When I click Add Media Block >> Slide Video, the program crashes. I cannot add videos at all, and I've lost unsaved work. My IT folks uninstalled and reinstalled my program and it did not help.

  6. Character Speech Card Shape - Does not adhere to timeline settings.

    I am trying to mimic an ongoing conversation between two characters. When I move the character speech card on the timeline to show at a specific point in the audio, the text shows at the correct point, but the speech shape shows the entire time. I tried to get past this by using show/hide settings in bookmarks, but because I am using multiple blocks on the slide and show/hide the content blocks, when I show the block, then hide the speech card, it shows on the slide for a brief moment then hides. It looks messy. If, I when I…

  7. Add the ability to animate multiple images and objects in the same space.

    In Captivate Classic, you are able to animate an image and then animate multiple items beside or on top of the original image. This does not appear to be possible in the new Captivate. Most of our slides built in Captivate Classic contain animations times with narration. We do not want to lose the ability to animate in this way in the new version of Captivate.

  10. Dark Mode for App UI

    Please provide an option to change Captivate's UI between a light and dark mode. When wroking with dark slides, the brightness of the UI makes seeing details in the slides very difficult without previewing the project, thus increasing the time required to create content.

  12. different boxes not only up til down - but also from left to right

    Hi, normally you can add elements which are from top til down.
    But sometimes it is helpful for design issues when we can put elements (pictures, texts, buttons, graphics) from left to right.

    So there is more flexibility in designing the slide.
    Thanks

  14. Add A "Set Focus" option to Button Actions

    If I do a validation check on a text box when the user clicks a "Continue" button I created, and the validation I have setup fails, I want to set focus back on to my text box, however there is no option to do that.

  15. buttons stacked?

    It's nice to have 10 buttons in one block now in Cp 12.4, but why can't I stack them vertically? If I want several buttons underneath each other, I still have to add one block per one button. Very time consuming and unnecessary.

  16. Align text and button horizontally

    I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).

    In an earlier version of New Captivate, the SCORM reporting preference passed through to Adobe Learning Manager, as seen in ALM's content library. In SCORMS created on the last version and the version before, it seems to not pass through?

    I've made a scorm with knowledge tests, not quizzes, and set completion to be 90% and passed to equal quiz passed. Now normally my ALM setting (worked in the past and with classic captivate) knows if there is no quiz (there are knowledge checks) then make it be passed automatically. Now coz there is no quiz it sets it to…

  18. Share for Review

    When Reviewing a shared lesson, the comments should have an indicator of where the comment is being made. If the slide has multiple media blocks or text blocks, the indicator will allow the reviewer to pinpoint where their recommendations should be made. The current method works only when commenting on the overall status of the slide, but if only some of the information needs to be corrected, the developer would need to search through all the content to find where the reviewer saw the mistake.

  19. Widgets and carousel should have more than 6 items/pages

    The current timeline widget, carousel widget, hotspot widget etc. only have up to 6 items/pages. I've been working on projects with a 15 point timeline, or an 8 point hotspot activity, or a 9 page carousel. Which means, I couldn't use these widgets and had to come up with my own custom design, which is very time consuming and more difficult than it needs to be.

    Please add the ability to have at least 15, or a custom defined number of items/points/pages in a widget or carousel.

  20. Need ability to normalize audio for an entire project at once

    I calibrated my microphone but the resulting audio on a simulation project was much too quiet. I want to normalize the whole project at once, not one slide at a time. I watched this video for Classic and can't seem to find parallel menus in the New Captivate. https://youtu.be/cCGwh78J3-U?si=XgXmBqghTNFaLFD5
