  1. Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate

    When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

  2. Simplify Quiz design

    The ability to remove the quiz feedback captions. In 2019 you can drag them away from the slide to hide them. "Submit All" simplify the process for a range of quiz questions. Allow the selections of buttons that meets the design requirement. such as just a "back" and "next" button on each slide to navigate through the quiz. On the final quiz slide show the "Submit All" button to submit all the answers in one go.

  3. Scalable HTML-5 publish setting for non-responsive projects

    Currently, non-responsive projects in Captivate 13 do not have a publish setting (like Captivate Classic) for scalable HTML-5. This feature is very much needed as alot of your customers are still creating non-responsive projects with Captivate 13. This feature will also be needed when importing previous captivate classic non-responsive projects into Captivate 13 (feature is coming soon). Is a publish setting for scalable HTML-5 in the works already for non-responsive projects? If not this is a huge oversight and this feature needs to be incorporated as soon as possible.

  4. SUGGESTION: Table of Contents Enables Progressively

    It would be very helpful if the sections of the TOC were disabled (visible but greyed out) and only became active as users progressed through a module. This would allow for progression visibility but would prevent folks from jumping all over the place.

    Perhaps an added dropdown in the TOC editor called, 'Enable on Visit of Slide' then the dropdown options (slide number, previous slide, etc.)

    Thank you for your consideration.

  6. Set State on Input Field

    Sometimes we have the need to first have learners click on the correct field/region of a screen via click box, then we ask them to enter data into an Input field. In Captivate 12's current build, users must click on the field again to trigger the Active state for the Input field, even though they just selected the field on the previous slide via the click box.

    The result is an unnecessary additional click, and some frustration for learners who naturally think the field is immediately typeable.

    It would be wonderful if we could 'Set State' of an Input Field…

  8. ragesh.c@gds.ey.com

    The new Adobe Captivate version lacks a critical feature for eLearning: the ability to restrict the Table of Contents (TOC) and Playbar navigation. In effective eLearning design, it's essential to control access to the TOC and the Next button to ensure learners fully complete each slide before progressing. This functionality was available in Adobe Captivate Classic and is a must-have for tracking learner engagement and completion. Please consider reintroducing this restriction feature in future updates.

  9. Slide Image 'Project' Option

    Currently for each slide, there is an associated background image. If a slide background image needs to be adjusted, there are two options from which to choose an image (Assets or System). It would be very helpful if a third option was added (Project) that allows developers to replace a background image with one already being used in the project. We use several images, of which many are nearly identical, and this would help tremendously. Thank you for your consideration.

  11. Export/Import Project content closed captions

    I have been experimenting with exporting and importing Project content and Closed Captions and have found that the process is not working as I would have expected. I opened one of the QSPs and started by exporting which resulting in the expected Word document. I made some small changes to the text and saved. I then begin the Import process and nothing seemed to have happened.

  12. Object alignment against slide

    Provide suggested alignment against slide when moving objects so that object aligns with slide and is not off-center if not desired.

    Here you can see that the ppt import imported the black box, but did not align to the slide in a central manner so the box is partially off of the slide. Need to be able to center box against the slide.

  13. Remove credentialless ="true"> from HTML code in publish for Cp 13

    Web objects from inside our organization do not work because we set a cookie to authenticate and Captivate 13 embeds an HTML code 'credentialless ="true" which prevents the cookie for authentication. This was not a problem in Captivate Classic. We imbed a lot of video from both our enterprise streaming service and our LCMS but are now not able to do so with Cp 13. Please resolve!!

  14. Group Objects Together

    Can you allow us to group objects together and name that group to help with multi-action interactions, please? Sometimes we need to show or hide a group of objects at once and it would save time to just reference the group instead of all of the objects in that group. Thank you for your time and consideration!

  15. Custom Shape Tool

    Please add back the ability to create / draw a custom shape with interactivity and custom states. Some interactions require my team to click on weirdly shaped objects, and it would be nice to not have to only use a square, rectangle, circle, or any of the other available shapes that don't quite match. Thank you for your time and consideration!

  16. Try Again when failing a quiz

    On the quiz results slide, if they fail the quiz the "Try Again" button should be the only button that is visible. Right now the continue button to advance the training is always present. This has caused some confusion for learners.

  17. Include the Captivate 2019 video playbar re-wind and forward function in Captivate 13.0

    Captivate 13.0 does not have video re-wind and forward functions. These functions are important for projects that require the learner to fully understand and confident in a process before moving on in the project. These missing functions are standard in video display

  19. Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly

    Two primary issues.

    1. If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.

    2. If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.

    Example:
    A radio group with options A, B and C.

    With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option…

  20. [Feature] Option to automatically unflip inactive cards in the Cards Widget

    Problem:
    Currently, any card flipped in the Cards Widget remains active ("flipped") until it is clicked again. As a result, multiple cards can remain flipped simultaneously, which can be confusing in many learning scenarios.

    Suggestion:
    Add an option that controls this behavior: When a new card is flipped, the previously active card should automatically flip back to its front side.

    This setting should be configurable both in the GUI and designOption.json.
