  2. Buttons are not taking the correct Breakpoints for responsiveness

    I created a quiz with multiple choice questions. Uploaded it to the Adobe ALM. Tested it in Safari on an ipad PRO and the buttons are not displaying properly in landscape mode.

  3. Ability to adjust size of a button

    Right now, the only way to adjust the width of a button is by adding spaces to the text. It would be much better to be able to define a width, possibly a similar way the Alignment and Spacing of a block is handled. Also the space between buttons should be adjustable.

  4. Two buttons but showing three in interaction properties inspector

    One of my slides has two buttons on the display, but three are showing in the interactions properties inspector. This seems like a bug to me. When I try to interact with this mystery button, Captivate crashes.

  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. Allow option to retain closed captions when replacing slide audio

    I may tweak a small aspect of my slide's audio and upload a new version to the slide. Doing so currently (in 12.4) removes my existing captions, forcing me to redo every caption on that slide.

    It would be nice to have a pop-up that asks if I want to retain or delete existing captions when changing the audio file.

  7. 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.

  8. Click Box fail message does not allow you to remove text when an image is used

    If you select an image as a click box fail state, you can not delete the text in the box so it has no text at all. Any attempt to remove the text, defaults it back when I click out of the failed message box. I don't always need text.

  9. Re-insert the Force Module Sequence feature back into Multi-SCORM Packager "Multiple SCOs" option.

    PLEASE ASAP FOR CAPTIVATE CLASSIC 11.8x:
    Re-insert the "Force Module Sequence" feature back into Multi-SCORM Packager "Multiple SCOs" option. This feature remains in the other 2 options: "Simple Remediation" and "Pre-test or Post-test Rollup".

    Surely this was a developer oversight or programming error and not intentional with Captivate Classic as I see the "Force Module Sequence" feature within the "Multiple SCOs" option including with a colleague of mine who's using Captivate version 11.8.1x?!

  10. look into the bookmark system on the timeline, it is full of bugs.

    I'm trying to create a replay video button with a BOOKMARK for placement on the timeline and a BUTTON using JUMP TO. If I place the button at 0.1 seconds and click the replay button, it'll jump to 5-6 seconds into the video and not the beginning. The only fix I was able to make was putting the bookmark at 1 second which the video starts horribly cuz it misses the first couple words. There is no instruction on this system so it needs to be fixed asap please.

  11. Missing options in UI elements in Theme

    When setting up a Theme, all options which are available individually on slides should be available in the setup for a custom Theme. Here are two examples where I could't find how to do a full setup, both for Quiz slides:
    1. Radio buttons: you can only set up the Normal state, not the other states needed in quiz slides (Hover, Selected, Disabled (selected), Disabled. Moreover it is not possible to change the border width.
    2. Checkboxes: similar to the radio buttons, only the fill color and the border color of the Normal state can be set up.

    There are…

  12. BUG - Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack on mobile when multiple in same object

    On new Captivate (12.4) buttons automatically stack if there are more than one (side by side) on mobile even when there is horizontal space. This can give a horrible user experience and needs to be corrected to be properly responsive.

  13. Add ability to restrict the 'drag card' area so it is NOT MOVEABLE

    Currently the user can move the area for the options all over the screen and OFF the screen, meaning if they accidentally move it it can cause them to get stuck in the activity unable to complete the activity.

  14. Have Continue Button Appear Only if Passing Grade

    Presently you can turn on or off all the components of a quiz results slide. I would like to have the ability to turn on or off buttons such as review, retake, and Continue depending on the pass or fail. More specifically I would like to only show the continue button if the student passes and hide the continue button if they fail, encouraging them to retake the quiz.

  16. Importing OAMs

    Due to the 'renewed' terminology the word Animation is now used for the former Effects. However you'll never have the power of real animation tools in Captivate. I used to import OAMs created in Animate, and animated GIFs created either in Photoshop or in Animate. Please give use that feature back!

  17. Bring back the ability to embed content with IFRAMES. We still need this capability.

    Removing the ability to embed web objects has really caused us problems. We need this functionality. We need to be able to embed documents from remote sources so that they always reflect the most current version of a policy, in this particular use case.

  20. closed captions

    I'm finding that closed captions are sometimes delayed and therefore out of sync with narration or video depending on load times. For example, I have a slide where there is a single asynchronous video and some slide narration. The slide narration takes some time to load and the closed captions are running faster than the narration. Same thing for the video captions. Also not always in synch. I think the slide should not start playing until all the multi media is loaded so that captions, audio and video are always in sync.
