  1. Library

    We need a library so that I can see all my assets in my project, including what I add. That way I can see what is used the most and what images are a large file size, that may need to be reduced for playability.

  2. Add padding to buttons for software simulations.

    Restore the ability to add padding to buttons in software simulations. Feature was available previously and removed in 12.4.

  3. change the hand cursor placement so it is over the click box, not instruction box

    When taking a course that includes a Training software simulation, the cursor changes to a hand when the learner hovers over the Instruction caption but not the click box. I don't see a way to change this, or just remove the hand cursor from appearing over the Instruction caption.

  4. ai text to speech

    It would be awesome to add an AI text to speech generator. There are some other independent sites for this (mostly paid), and the quality is far superior to normal text to speech.

  5. Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor)

    Offer a new speech agent option of Paul Wilson's voice (Adobe Captivate Virtual Training instructor). His voice is very easy to listen to! A lot of the text to speech voices are very robotic sounding.

  6. different boxes not only up til down - but also from left to right

    Hi, normally you can add elements which are from top til down.
    But sometimes it is helpful for design issues when we can put elements (pictures, texts, buttons, graphics) from left to right.

    So there is more flexibility in designing the slide.
    Thanks

  7. Align text and button horizontally

    I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).

  8. bug: variables are copied when copying interactions

    When an interaction, including variables, is copied, a copy of all variables is automatically created. However, these additional variables are not needed and cannot be deleted.

    For example, if you have 4 buttons on a page that each need to check if 5 variables have a value of 1, you can enter this manually, which is quite tedious. Alternatively, you can set it up once manually and then copy it. However, this results in having a total of 20 variables instead of 5, where only 5 are actually needed. The remaining 15 variables are redundant and cannot be deleted, causing…

  11. Web Object: Add HTML5 Animations

    Please add the option to insert HTML5 web animations under Web Object Source: System. Like but not only Adobe Animate projects or GSAP, Hype or other jQuery/JS animative applications. These files could be embedded in OAM or ZIP archive format like it is possible in Classic Captivate. This idea is closely related to the need of a Library in the All-New-Captivate.

  12. Web Object: Better utilization of available vertical space

    I'm very grateful about the fact that with the 12.5 update the Web Object came back to Captivate. But there is an odd issue with the layout of web object blocks. They don't use the optimal vertical space within a slide layout. See the attached screenshot. Here the web object occupies only around 65% of the available vertical space between header and footer. Even if under ALIGNMENT AND SPACING Padding Top and Padding Bottom are set to 0px and Autofit Height is checked. Can that be optimized in future releases?

  13. Fix inconsistent audio playback on the initial slides in Published courses

    Often when I access a published course via the web, the audio on the first few slides does not play automatically. I need to advance and return to the previous slide to trigger the audio playback. This is not an ideal solution for learners.

    I've tried adding title slides with no audio ahead of the first slide (expecting it would allow time to buffer and play the audio) to no avail. I've also tried positioning the audio to start at 1-2s after the slide has loaded with similar results. It might work to add a silent title slide with a…

  14. Course loading progress indicator.......

    When a user starts a course, it would be helpful to show a loading progress indicator in the browser to show that the course is loading. In Captivate 12, there is only a blank screen. There is nothing to show the user that is something is happening until the course finally loads and is displayed.
    I have attached 2 files.
    1. Captivate2019 which shows the loading progress indicator
    2. Captivate
    12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.

  15. Slide navigation issue

    If my parent slide is longer than a single slide, when I navigate from an overlay slide back to the parent slide, it jumps all the way to the top of the slide. This causes frustration as the learner now has to scroll all the way to where they left off just to continue the content.
    On the other hand, when navigating from one slide to the next slide, the next slide opens at the bottom of the slide.

    For slide-to-slide navigation, it should always start at the top and for overlay-to-parent it should resume where the learner left off.

  16. Set maximum time limit for quiz

    Need a maximum time limit and corresponding author-settable message for the quiz. This should be a setting in Preferences > Quizzing > General. It would be great if you could also set a warning time limit and message to warn the learner that time is almost up. For example:

    Maximum Quiz Time Limit: 120 minutes
    Message: Maximum quiz time has been reached. The quiz is ended.

    Quiz Warning Time: 110 minutes
    Message: You have 10 minutes remaining to complete the quiz.

  18. Hint message???

    In Preferences, Quizzing, Default Labels there is a 'Hint message' but after in-depth exploring this has no sense. There is no way to activate a Hint to appear, the multistate objects for the feedback messages during quizzing and Review do not have a Hint state at all. Moreover it is impossible to add custom states to any button, including the embedded buttons on quiz and score slides. I tried with multiple attempts on question level, where a hint would make sense from the second attempt, but situation is the same.

  20. Adjust slide appearance for imported question pools

    I have a comprehensive exam with 17 question pools and 350 total questions. When you import into a question pool, Captivate does not use a master slide. There is no way to adjust the Correct and Incorrect states font and text color for all the question slides in a pool. If there was a master slide associated with the imported pool, the appearance of those states could be edited in the master and applied to all the questions in the pool. Alternatively, allow states to be copied and applied to an entire question pool or to all selected slides.
