  1. Allow for no images on flipcards widget

    Allow for no images on flipcards widget. Currently, you can get rid of the images but the depth doesn't adjust accordingly, leaving the text anchored to the bottom of deep cards that can't be adjusted.

  2. Advanced Actions

    Please allow us to create advanced actions. For instance, I need to be able to redirect a student who didn't pass the exam to the content. If they pass an exam, I need some JavaScript that will take them back to our LMS. This is impossible in the new Captivate - at least that I've found.

  4. CSV

    Why do you not allow importing csv files for quizzes? I have 1000s of question and I have to manually input every single question? I will go w Thinkific solely for this reason. This new update is not helpful or useful and definitely not productive. I loved the old version.

  5. Allow customization of checkmark inside selected checkboxes

    I appreciate that I can customize the fill color of a selected checkbox, but I cannot change the color of the checkmark that appears. In the uploaded example image, I made the fill for the box dark green to match branding, but I cannot make the checkmark appear white or light grey to make it visible on the dark fill color.

  6. Animation Bug.

    There is a Bug with animations where only the first animation will work as designed and all other animations will just 'appear'. Animations will only work if they are all designed to start at once at the beginning of the timeline. Video example: https://www.loom.com/share/1051d5ae89fe4300ac216b03d343d522?sid=e1a84e82-0703-4ba8-8a4e-9a7eb12a50c3

  8. when the screen size gets smaller the buttons will stack vertically even when there is enough sace for them to be side by side.

    when you add a set of buttons they seem to act odd. it sometimes even seems to get the orientation mixed up.

    I suggest giving us more control over the orientation of the buttons.

  9. Publish for Review Tool

    It would be very helpful to be able to Publish for Review, that way I could send the course to SMEs and reviewers without having to upload to an LMS. I work for a large company, and uploads are a different team which adds 1 - 2 days. Something similar to the Storyline preview tool would be great.

  11. Export Captions: add slide number and/or label

    The exported Word document has become even longer than in older versions due to all the multistate objects. The IDs in the first two columns have never made sense to me but in previous versions the last column indicated the slide number. Please add at least that number or if possible also the slide label. It is almost impossible at this moment to find specific items. The possibiliy to hide the superfluous states for buttons would be a great improvement as well. The document at this moment is not very friendly for localisation, which took many steps backwards also for…

  12. User manual to be updated

    Some confusing sentences:

    At the start 'Launch Preferences' I see "On the toolbar, select Adobe Captivate > Preferences".. A menu is not a toolbar, and for WIndows users (still the majority) you find it under Edit, Preferences. BTW I logged the bug that the shortcut key is not working on an AZERTY keyboard, while the former SHIFT-F8 worked perfectly.

    General Preferences, Default locations. It is no longer 'Publish at' but 'Location'. Due to the confusion for many users and problems in the past, a warning message should appear to avoid using the same folder for both and about not using…

  14. SVGs should not be cropped to the placeholder icon

    When using the SVG media block, custom SVGs are always cropped to the form and size of the placeholder which is cicular or square. That was never the case when using SVGs in older versions, and is also not the case for bitmap images, which can resize to the placeholder. I create the SVGs in Illustrator, and of course I will lose the chosen font if I don't convert text to vectors. That I can understand, but not the cropping
    .

  17. Allow for closed captions when video is playing full screen.

    When in full screen mode that can be accessed from the "Grid" style Video Media block, the closed captions are not visible. Additionally, a "CC" toggle button should be available on the default controls of the full screen.

  18. Transfer value system variable to user variable

    It seems not to be possible to transfer the value of a system variable to a user variable, at least I have been trying without success. I want to show partial results of a quiz in a custom results slide (the default results slide has no Enter event). This means that I need to transfer the score obtained so far (Quiz.Score) to a user variable. There is a action Assign variable to variable but I am not able to indicate the quizzing system variable.

  19. Responsive behavior for Background Image

    Allow a 'focal point' for images when they change sizes in Captivate projects

    Sharepoint pages do allow you to set the 'focus' of an image for when the portal changes size, it lets the author have some control over how the item is shown to users without having a ton of options to configure each time.

  20. Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.

    We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.
