1. [Bug] Selected tab loses highlight when widget loses focus

   When the Tabs widget loses focus, the selected tab is no longer highlighted. The active state should remain visible so users don’t lose orientation.

2. Allow content creators to import .doc or .pdf text to populate a template.

   If there were tags that could be placed into a word document that could call for a slide option in a project template, then the program could auto-populate text and images into predetermined slide options. This would allow for a rapid conversion to Captivate files when receiving only text, image and link content from authors.

   Many of our authors are accustomed to a particular set of procedures for content development. We need a simple method to take the content provided and convert it to a Captivate project.

   If there were <tag>s of some sort that could identify sections of text and their associated images and links to videos or other online content and then populate an appropriate slide template, that would be ideal. Tags could identify other design options as well, for example font style or shape colors or corner radius for buttons. Have a simple library of available tags. Then content creators who do not use Captivate can put in tags that would reduce the amount of time needed for the Captivate content team to fine tune the imported project.

   Ideally, they would also be able to tag specific variables and object names as well. Some of our LMS integration is dependent on button object names and custom variables. These variables could mostly be handled by a custom template though, if that were an option, which it absolutely should be. Then it would just be making sure that the doc or pdf had the appropriate tag for the custom slide template with the appropriate custom variable options.

3. Variables and Design Options

   We all understand that Captivate 12 is "built around a template-based authoring approach, designed to streamline project creation with minimal effort." that's just great. And we all want a simple user interface for our content creators who are less technically savvy, which Captivate provides. That does not mean that the content administrators don't still need the ability to have custom templates with variables to integrate properly with their LMS (and in our case LRS). We have government mandated variable time requirements for slide dwell time and total lesson duration. We also have varying pass percentage requirements.

   There are a large number of exchanges that have to happen to make sure that a given user / registration is launched with the appropriate injected values. That means that the variable must be accurate. Those variable should not have to be recreated ever, they should be selectable, custom variables that are options for any new project if they are in the options folder.

   Currently, you have to copy a slide from a 'template project' somewhere on your computer. When you do that, with no apparent specific reason, Captivate creates a new variable. This, of course, breaks the logic and you must go through every slide with variables and make sure that a numerical suffix has not been added when pasting. There is no way to turn this off. Further, you cannot delete these ghost variables that end up being sometimes 50-100 randomly generated variables. You try to delete them, and even though those variables are used NOWHERE in the project, Captivate does not allow you to delete them. It is genuinely frustrating.

   The entire variable and design option architecture is pretty broken. It is 'clunky' at best. I dont even want to think about how many hours I have had to waste fixing logic errors in a program that is supposed to be "designed to streamline project creation with minimal effort."

   In our case, it has been anything but 'streamlined'

   Our dev team is throttled by the Captivate teams decision making process, it is not good.

   We want the simple interface and template, yes.

   We MUST have the ability to create our own custom templates complete with custom variables that do not create a 1000 ghosts.

4. [Feature] Option for automatic display of timeline events (without click)

   Problem:
   In the current Timeline widget, each event must be clicked manually for its associated content (text/image) to appear.
   This interaction pattern is not ideal for all learning scenarios — especially in linear or narrative timelines, repeated clicking can be distracting and offers little didactic value.

   Suggestion:
   Add an option in the Captivate GUI and in the designOption.json to control the behavior:
   - Manual (current behavior): The user clicks each event to reveal its content.
   - Automatic: The content is always visible.
   - For better user experience: The content appears with a smooth fade-in or motion animation when the event enters the viewport.

5. [Feature] New Widget for Expandable Single Sections (Disclosure / Details)

   Background:
   On longpages or compact content layouts, there is often a need for expandable single sections for supplementary content such as transcripts, glossaries, or additional information. An accordion widget is overkill for this purpose, as it requires multiple tabs and semantically implies a group behavior.

   Problem:
   - The Accordion widget cannot currently be reduced to a single tab.
   - Using a "pseudo-accordion" with only one panel is semantically incorrect and may negatively impact accessibility and user orientation.
   - There is no dedicated widget to toggle individual content sections, making implementation cumbersome.

   Suggestion:
   A dedicated widget based on the established HTML5 <details>/<summary> pattern or a disclosure element. It should:
   - Toggle a single content block open/closed
   - Optionally scroll automatically
   - Optionally support state persistence
   - Clearly indicate visual states
   - Be configurable via GUI and designOption.json

6. Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing

   The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.

7. A more rodust video player without the need of the video slide.

   With the amount of video training and the vast need for playing video libraries inside menus, I would love to see a Video Player, like the existing one, but with capabilities like:
   Turn on/off closed captions from the button
   The ability to select bookmarks/chapters from the player.
   I know some of this can be accomplished from the video slide, but it will be better if it is done from the actual video player. A more robust video player with more options. More like a YouTube experience when young learners can identify better in the video section.

8. allow the addition of custom assets in template info.json

   info.json ("C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\12.0\content\Templates\info.json") elements populate the project template assets menu. There is an internal updating mechanism that prevents any additions from persisting in this .json. Further, the "id" seems to lead to another asset that populates the slide choice menu when you select a project from the project template assets menu. We need our templates to be configured to populate this menu so that our content developers can select our standard templates from the assets menu. This is critical. Pulling slides and configuring slides from a 'template project' that is open in a different window is clunky, prone to variable errors, and very time consuming. It is very tedious. We must reduce tedium. The project menu shown will work for a single time. Captivate updates the info.json file each time you open Captivate, so you have to resave with the added option to see it in the menu. You can change the "id" and those slides will show up when you select your project. I just need to be able to save my slides in the same way, and have an associated "id' so that I can select my template slides. I can make whatever changes need to be made to the project to ready it for conversion to a template asset.

9. ragesh.c@gds.ey.com

   The new Adobe Captivate version does not allow placing objects in a custom order. It only supports drag-and-drop using predefined templates. For example, if we need to position titles, images, icons, or buttons freely on the slide, this flexibility is missing. Currently, all custom design options are limited, forcing us to use only what Captivate provides.

10. SCORM Integrity Checks

    Publishing to SCORM can be tricky, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out why a SCORM course is having issues. I propose adding integrity tools that check your project for common setup issues when SCORM is enabled. For example, if you set the setting so that a completion is getting a 90 on the quiz, and your total score does not add up to 90 points within your project, there is a problem. Perhaps you have 3 retries set, but you did not provide a button, set a setting, or have a path for them to retake the Quiz. Maybe you have it setup that a pass is when you watch 50% of the slides, but your branching is setup in a way that more than 50% of the slides can be skipped.

13. Make Images Exportable for External Editing

    I can't find a way to edit an image from Captivate in Illustrator or Photoshop. I am being handed a Captivate file and not always all of the source files used to create it. It'd be really helpful to have a right click and 'Edit in Photoshop' option for when the graphic file is not available. This function exists in other Adobe products, please add it to the new Captivate.

14. [Feature] Allow renaming of user-defined variables

    Currently, user-defined variables can only be renamed in the variable manager if they are not referenced in the project. Variables that are already in use cannot be renamed, which limits flexibility.

    Suggested improvement:
    Allow renaming of user-defined variables directly in the variable manager, with all references in the project being updated automatically.

16. Add checkboxes with Select All or Deselect All when editing Table of Contents

    When creating courses in Captivate, we often have over 100 slides, but we only want our users to have access to maybe 10 in the Table of Contents. In Captivate 12.6, I have to deselect each slide which is obnoxiously time consuming. The "eye" icon action should be replaced with check boxes with "Select All" or "Deselect All" options at the top.

18. [Feature/Bug] Cards Widget: Perspective and mouseover overlay customization

    Suggestion:
    - Make the perspective value adjustable in both the GUI and the designOption.json.
    - Allow configuring the color and behavior (show/hide) of the mouseover overlay in the GUI and designOption.json.

19. [Bug] Quote Widget ignores styling and lacks clear component references

    Problem:
    The Quote Widget does not fully respond to styles defined in designOption.json.

    Details:
    - The containers container-quotes-text, slide-item-quotes-icon-container-1, and slide-item-quotes-icon-container-2 ignore custom style definitions and seem to have structural inconsistencies.
    - In container-quotes-card, there are no documented or discoverable component names (e.g., quoteText, quoteIcon1, quoteIcon2), making it impossible to target, enable, or disable these elements within designOption.json.
    - Several layout properties in the global stylesheet cannot be overridden locally within designOption.json.

    Suggestion:
    Document all component names and ensure that each element of the Quote Widget can be fully styled and controlled directly from designOption.json.

    The internal structure could follow the example of the SVG widget, which allows flexible layout control using either flex or grid, depending on the design intent.
