  1. Bug: button action "Exit course" does not work in Prime/ALM/other LMS

    This behaviour is known since Captivate 2019. I think some LMS developers decided to protect their LMS from beeing closed entirely by this one button inside one web-based training. There were reports back in 2018 about Captivate 2017 and 2019 from customers who closed the WBT and simultanously their whole LMS window. We had to attach our own Javascript to "Quit course" buttons on a regular basis for many differnt LMS to protect our users.

    Great, if you could find a solution to be able to use this action at all.
    Thank you for all your efforts with bugfixing. We…

  5. Playbar: Add 'Forward 15 secs' and 'Back 15 secs' buttons so that learners can advance or go back within a single slide.

    Add 'Forward 15 secs' and 'Back 15 secs' buttons so that learners can advance or go back within a single slide. For example, if a project has a slide video which is 5 minutes in duration, it would be helpful for the learner to be able to navigate back and forwards within that video/slide, similar to the way you can with other apps like Netflix and Youtube.

  8. BUG Can't input Japanese

    When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
    You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.

  9. Navigation to bookmark on other slides doesn't work

    To replace Micro-navigation by using bookmarks, you can add a bookmark on another slide with Jump to Bookmark. However that is not functional because it always will play that other slide from the start instead of from the bookmark. If this functionality iis only possible for bookmarks on the same slide, the tab 'More Bookbmarks' should be dimmed, not available.

  10. image optimization

    Perhaps if you could add the ability to have the software optimize the images when publishing (set a max width and height or some type of way to measure it.) that would save space in the package - similar to powerpoint.

  13. {Bug} Random duplication of variables

    I created 5 variables to test out the new variable system. I created these variables on a single slide and assigned them to buttons.

    I then began programming advanced actions with the buttons on the same slide and I realized there was an entire list of duplicated variables all from the initial 5 that were created.

    I did not duplicate the buttons on this slide, nor did I duplicate the slide itself.

    • The variables couldnt be deleted until I saved the file and reopened it.

  14. Bug - Audio files in Asset Library

    I am noticing that a good number of the default multimedia elements (audio files) are damaged that are included with the new version of Captivate. How do I open a ticket to have this investigated and resolved? When attempting to use various media files (not all however), I get the following message: "Audio Import Failed. Unable to import the audio file. Ensure that the file type is either MP3 or WAV. Also ensure that the file is not damaged."

    Again, these are the included default files in the Asset Audio library (not my own or other that I am importing).

  15. Multilingual support

    our courses have more than one target audience. we have videos on Sharepoint that historically we have been able to embed. This is no longer possible in Captivate 12.

    The videos in SharePoint are capable of hosting captions in many languages. It we cannot embed these videos anymore, we would need a way to accommodate captions with in the Captivate CC functionality

  16. Dynamic bookmarks

    First goal of 'bookmarking' is to enable micro-navigation. However New Captivate can only create static bookmarks. It is not possible to create dynamic bookmarks generated on runtime. This was possible using the Movie Control category of system variables combined with Movie Information variables. Examples for the Adobe forum:
    1. Having a button on a long (video) slide allowing to move to a Help slide, and come back to resume the video where it was left.
    2. Having a button which allows to navigate forward or back for a time segment (like 20secs) on a long slide whenever it was clicked.

  17. have a way to share .cpt files between users (on the same VIP sharing package) that can sync so updates show to all users in real time.

    Like Creative Cloud or OneDrive or Google Drive but for Captivate projects, so changes are automatically saved and available for other users when they open the file.

  18. Issues with multiple languages

    To translate a course the new version has lost a lot of features which were available in CP2019:
    1. In CP2019 all used labels in Quizzes could be edited under the Quiz Preferences. Not only the Default labels, but also the Messages on the Score slide. Now some labels need to be translated using the Properties panel of the score slide.
    2. I hope the Export/Import of Prefrences will once be restored and will have all those labels, not only those in the reduced Preferences in New Captivate, A modern application, should even do this automatically.
    3. When CSV import…

  19. widget

    We had created a series of free Widgets (Captivate Classic terminology - not related to widgets in Captivate). The Captivate Classic widget functionality was great, because it allowed us to create a custom UI and include JS to the published file. Our widgets are here: https://envolvemedia.com/custom-applications/#captivate

    A simple example is the Save As Widget. The Captivate developer could use their own button instance that when clicked would just save the contents of that slide to a PDF or Image on the end-users machine.

    Captivate [New] doesn't allow for these widgets. Even creating a "Custom Design" does not support setting custom…

  20. Allow customizing scrollbar

    The scrollbar on the side when something is taller than the standard window size is very hard to see and users may not recognize that it's there. Allow customization of this to make it stand out.

    On the same vein, allow buttons that scroll to a fixed anchor on the slide if you want to be able to jump down
