Buttons in branding Footer
The footer is a very common spot for custom navigation buttons. Why are buttons not an option in the footer?!?
This should be an extremely simple fix. Just add the button functions to it.

Set default ai voice
I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.

Spell check but also AI driven grammar, spell check and improved writing
I realize that I’m not the first to suggest this in the forums, but since Adobe Captivate 12 will be the first AI-driven version, I recommend taking it a step further. It would be beneficial to include a tool similar to Grammarly that checks spelling and grammar while also enhancing our writing for both on-screen content and AI voice-driven captions. This feature could help improve our on-screen text and spoken narration, ensuring that they represent the best version of our writing.

Images to States not working
You cant add an image to different states, it allows you to open the upload box then nothing happens when you press load. This means you are left with a solid colour for hover and visited states which doesnt work.

[Feature] Allow variable references in `designOption.json` (extension of placeholder feature)
Related:
See also [Feature] Custom placeholder text and images indesignOption.json(https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate/suggestions/50456811--feature-custom-placeholder-text-and-images-in-d)Problem:
Currently,designOption.jsonsupports neither placeholder text nor placeholder images. See related suggestion: https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate/suggestions/50456811--feature-custom-placeholder-text-and-images-in-dSuggestion:
Allow Captivate variables to be referenced indesignOption.json. This would enable dynamic values such as author names, project titles, copyright notices, or other metadata to be automatically inserted into text fields.Example:
json
{
"tag": "slide-item-body",
"placeholder": "© $$Project.Copyright$$ — $$Date.Year$$",

[Feature] Flexible Overlay System for Buttons, Links, and Slides
Problem:
Currently, overlays in Captivate can only be triggered via bookmarks, and each slide overlay can only be used once. Local, reusable overlays directly on the slide do not exist. This limits flexible interactions and reusable designs.Suggestion:
- Trigger overlays via clicks on buttons, images, or text links, without using bookmarks.
- Allow multiple uses of overlay slides, so standard popups can be used multiple times.
- Custom/Local Overlays created and displayed directly on slides (similar to the "Click to Reveal" widget, but freely definable and reusable). Various types could be possible:
- Dialog or info windows…2 votes -
Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

[Bug] Parent slide scrolls while overlay slide is active and scrolling
Version: 13.0
Problem:
When an overlay slide is opened and the parent slide is taller than the viewport, both the parent slide and the overlay slide scroll simultaneously when the overlay content is scrolled. This causes the user to lose focus on the overlay and disrupts the intended user experience.Consequences:
- Confusing focus shifts between the parent slide and the overlay slide
- Weakened UX for dialogs and lightbox content
- Accessibility issues, especially for keyboard navigationSuggestion:
- The parent slide should not scroll while the overlay slide is active and being scrolled.
- Only the overlay slide…1 vote -
BUG REPORT- Assets not all loading, errors and broken image icon
After updating to 13, all of my built in video assets are broken/Missing. Most of the available audio clips do not allow for play preview and if you try to attach them to the slide there is an Audio Import Error pop up.

Allow us to change the color of a text hyperlink
In earlier updates I was able to manually change the color of clickable text links so that it matched my client's branding. It would be nice to have control over how these look, and it would be exceptional if the appearance of text hyperlinks was something we could add to the theme editor.
Not sure what changed, but now I have to explain to my clients that this functionality was somehow removed, and we have to deal with ugly purple links instead of sticking to our brand colors.

Allow you to mute project audio on specific slides
When I add background audio to the entire project I cannot stop it from playing on slides that have a video or video grid so you get the music and the video audio. The only way to get around this is to remove the background audio completely. Would be nice to add a feature in the audio tab on the slide to stop the music from playing entirely just on that slide.

I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13
I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13. I attended the Adobe Learning Summit and spoke to the developers about it, but have not received a resolution.

[Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering
Version: 13.0
Problem:
textPropsvalues such asfontWeightset indesignOption.jsonare displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g.,font-weight: normal;). OthertextProps(liketextAlign) work as expected.{ "tag": "slide-item-subtitle", "preset": "text-body-6", "customStyles": { "all": {} }, "customProperties": { "alignmentAndSpacing": {}, "textProps": { "fontWeight": "600", "textAlign": "center" } } },In the rendered output, inline styles appear such as:

- Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output

[Feature] Grid and Visible Borders for Design Options
Version: 13.0
Problem:
When working in Captivate, visual aids such as grids, borders, or width and height indicators are missing. Apart from the highlight shown when directly clicking a Design Option or on slide overflow, the positioning of elements is difficult to control – especially for complex layouts.Suggestion:
- Visible borders for Design Options and their sub-elements, optionally toggleable.
- Fully customizable background grid, similar to Adobe XD or Figma, for better layout orientation.
- Display of width and height measurements for placed elements.1 vote -

The new Adobe Captivate version lacks the ability to restrict the video seekbar—a key feature for ensuring learner engagement and compliance in eLearning. In many training scenarios, it's important to prevent users from skipping ahead or fast-forwarding through video content. Ideally, the seekbar should be locked until the video has been watched completely. Once the video is fully viewed, users can then be allowed to fast-forward or rewind for review purposes. This functionality was available in Adobe Captivate Classic and is essential for maintaining the integrity of learning paths. Please consider adding this feature to the new version to support…
