  2. Create an accordion widget

    Create an accordion widget. It would be great to have both vertical and horizontal options.

  3. increase the volume for recording audio

    When recording audio in Classic Captivate I have the opportunity to calibrate and can see my volume changing with the volume of my laptop.

    When recording audio in the New Captivate, while I can calibrate my volume, I don't see any difference on the calibration screen when I change my input volume from my laptop.

    The result in the New Captivate is that the audio is too quiet. I then have to go to each slide, individually, and reset the audio to best input in order to hear it. While it's a hassle to update each slide, the bigger problem…

  4. Allow users to capture camera and record the screen

    Seems you can no longer capture a screen as a recording, and it seems that you can no longer have a camera running at the same time

  5. Change margins of text in carousel widget.

    Without an image the text spreads across the screen, which is far to wide of a line length for on-text reading. If there is already a way to do this, please make it more obvious. I spent way longer than I should have before giving up. Honestly, it's a terrible design that you can only change these margins on some element. Don't even get me started elements have handles that don't do anything (resize). It's as though the developer have no concern for standardized user interfaces, which is what really makes things intuitive and easy. Why must we constantly click…

  6. Change slide/capture size

    We typically use the custom size option for capturing specific items on a page. It would be beneficial for the project to convert to this size or be able to resize the screen/project to the size of the capture window.

  8. timing

    Support for timing. If a button, as an example, should not appear until the end of a video - there's no way to use a property/setting to change the timing for when the button should appear. Currently, the only way is to drag the beginning of the button manually on the timeline - and that is "buggy" if you have to drag beyond the time visible in the timeline. The timing properties should include Appear After (for when the item should start to appear) and the length of appearance (at least second-based; and for rest of slide values)

  9. ppt and pptx import features

    Most teachers design using PPT and PPTX, so does instructional designers. So it would be ideal if you could import PPT and PPTX files to Captivate.

  11. Allow users to have more than 6 options on a dropdown.

    We are currently limited to 6 options per dropdown. Sometimes we would like to have a 1-10 option or even select from 50 states... This element should allow as many options as needed.

  12. Allow easy reordering of objects for screen reader optimization

    Currently we only have control over the tab order of active objects (buttons and links) in Tab Order; to change the order that items are read by a screen reader we have to rearrange the timeline order, which is extremely cumbersome for complex pages. Make this easier to edit so we can more efficiently develop accessible content for screen readers in Captivate

  14. Missing default labels

    Localisation of quizzes is now a real pain. Another example: the text 'Select an option' in dropdown lists on matching question slides is missing in default labels. Result: you have to translate manually all those texts on the slides when they are created. See included screenshot.
    This label was not available in previous versions neither under Default Labels in Quiz Preferences, but it was sufficient to do the translation on the Matching Master slide. Loss of those master slides has big consequences. Translating a quiz takes me now at least 10 times as long as in Captivate Classic. I don't…

  16. Increase processing speed

    I have found the application to be very slow in processing clicks. I am finding that I need to click or double click multiple times to get the application to respond. I am on a corporate network, not a dial-up, so I know it's not on my end.

  20. Bug: carousel indicator dots not showing

    Occasionally when published, carousels with 'indicator' checked in the feature options are appearing without the indicator dots/dashes when published. I'm sure there's a commonality between them but for the time being can't work out what it is -- seemingly random.
