  1. Closed captions styling not applied to slide or all slides

    It is incredibly tedious to change the font style and size on desktop, tablet and phone for EVERY caption typed on a slide. I type up my caption, change the sizes, hit Apply to this slide AND apply to all slides, then hit + to add another caption on the same slide and none of my changes are applied.

    Please fix this or in the themes area have a way to style the Closed captions separately from other captions (feedback, etc.).

    Thank you.

  2. Accessibilty: Allow user to select text in the publish html5 version

    Users should be able to select text in the publish version. It would insure the accessibility of the ressource.

  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties

    I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.

    It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.

    Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

  7. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. 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. Bring back object styles.

    Being able to apply universal changes across a large quantity of objects across all slides was one of the big reasons why I prefer Captivate 2019 to Storyline. This saves me so much time and I can use this for future trainings made for the same company.

  17. Save assets I use repeatedly

    Have the ability "favorite" captivate assets and sort 'favorites' for faster and easier access. It's very time consuming to scroll through 800+ images in Captivate assets to find the same image I use on repeat.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
