  1. Highlight Fill Outer Area

    The ability to fill the outer area of a highlight to draw specific attention to something on the software simulation screen. This was so useful in Captivate Classic. In our software simulations, we like to point out things to users on screen and this is the best way to do that.

  3. Captivate 12.3 Quiz Proceeding Error

    Captivate 12.3.0.12
    Quiz Proceeding Error -- I'm using branching in my project, and when completing a quiz question, the caption appears, and then the slide gets stuck and does not proceed. I've tried so many ways to troubleshoot this without avail. Please advise!

    Quiz settings:

    Graded
    Unlimited attempts
    On success, trigger is Click/tap > go to slide ____ and adjust variable +1

    I'm using Chrome, additionally I've tested this in edge and both browsers are up to date. The same error is occurring in my LMS for multiple users.

    If I delete the quiz question causing an error, the same…

  4. Video demo has no Control panel on Timeline

    Captivate Classic, Video Demo editor lost a lot of features. When switching to the editor, Timeline is no longer activated by default. You need to open it using the Window menu.
    Moreover the control panel at the bottom of the Timeline, where you had tiny buttons for navigation, for trimming, splitting, add panning/zooming points, switch to mouse points editing has completely disappeared. It makes working with Video Demo a real pain.
    Play/pause still is sometimes functional using the playbar, but that is not consistent (same as New Captivate). But for all other functionalities which were at the fingertips in previus…

  5. Buttons in widget slides (bugs)

    When I select an option in the DESIGN OPTIONS for a timeline slide, the button don't get "pill" shape, instead it gets the "circle" shape.

    When I try to apply a linear gradient, I have little to no control on the direction of the gradient.

    Even if I manage to apply the style, it seems I can't apply it automatically to all the other buttons.

    Also, if I'm required to add more custom buttons, could you please give the possibility to replace them with .SVG AND allowing us changing the size? We can hardly read the icons in the actual…

  7. Partial correct caption

    When creating a MCQ with multiple correct answers, there are issues. If some answers are correct, but not all sometimes the feedback 'You need to answer' appears, there is no state for partially correct feedback and I cannot detect how to create it.

  8. Control(Command)/Shift Select

    If I have many blocks or slides I need to select to either copy or delete, I cannot control/command or shift select them to delete them all at once. With the slowness of the software (once you have thirty or more slides filled with blocks), this becomes a painstakingly slow task. It would be helpful to be able to select multiple slides or blocks at once.

  9. Audio in Hotspot widget to play when hotspot is clicked

    If you allow to add audio to the callouts, whether to the image or the text, this would be a simple but very useful enhancement.

  10. Copy/Paste Appearance

    It is impossible at this moment to use copy/Paste appearance from a normal button style to the Submit button on a quiz/score slide. Allow this please, instead of having to repeat the styling for each slide.

  12. cpInfoElapsedTimeMS and cpInfoEpochMS, back please

    These two system variables (their original name) have been taken out. Those were the variables I have used so many times when timing was important in multiple situations. I already got questions on social media where these variables could be used to time something based on a duration. It could probably be solved without these variables in some situations if at least dynamic bookmarks were available.

  14. language of the project

    In the accessibility panel, we can select a language for each block. For now, it need to be changed manually for each block. It would be useful to select the language by default in the project settings. As I develop french content, I need to change manually each block language.

  15. Icon on Carousel widget needs more customization and has bugs

    The carousel widget allows you to change the arrow icon shape, but it does not have all of the customization that the svg icons typically have (such as in the buttons). For instance, I wanted to test out something other than an arrow, but when I went back to the arrow, I couldn't flip it. This meant that my arrow was pointed in the wrong direction. I could not fix it without deleting the whole carousel and starting over. Additionally, my client wanted the button much bigger, but that is not possible.

    Additionally, I tried to use my own svg…

  16. blur

    Blur does not seem to be working properly. Blur is very subtle for most values. It's not until 50 that anything really happens. Then maybe 80 for the next. But the most significant is between 90 and 91. This occurs for all images and anything that blur applies. Seems like a bug that blur isn't very significant until 91. By then, it's too significant of a difference. 91 is probably appropriate, but the lower values should increase blur more

  19. Videos with Time Markers

    Slide Video Blocks [to a YouTube video] is not consiste with start/end time markers.

    It seems as if support for the time markers (start/end time) does not work consistently. Here is an example file: https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/p89ko9u5bsij/default/YouTubeVideo_TimeMarkersNotWorking.cpt

    This file contains two slides:
    - Slide 1 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [relatively short] YouTube video. The time marker seemingly starts that the correct location every time.
    - Slide 2 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [much longer] YouTube video. The time marker never starts at the correct location and is always different

  20. In-built states are missing from Captivate 12.2 [at least] for the Image Grid

    It's easies to look at this file (https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pwafpzqrnced/default/builtInStatesLost.cpt) for an example:
    - Slide 1 uses the Image Grid and the States for this grid are missing InBuilt states
    - Slide 2 was copied from an older version of Captivate 12 and includes the InBuilt states for the same widget

    NOTE: This page includes an In-Built States section, even though the InBuilt states are missing from the Image Grid Widget: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/help/states-adobe-captivate.html
