  1. Close Project without closing application (And be able to clear cache without active projects open)

    Currently when I close a project it automatically ends the entire Captivate Application. This is normally useful, but sometimes I want to close a project and then open another one immediately, rather than having 2 open at once (2 giant captivate projects open at once makes my computer run very slowly). Captivate takes a lot of time to completely reboot, so being able to go back to a 'Home Screen' would make it easier for me to edit quickly. Ideally it would be like Adobe Illustrator, where you can close a project and it will just show the start up…

  2. Make 'Auto Fit Height' include manual Padding Inputs

    In previous updates, I was able to add my custom padding and then select 'Auto Fit Height' to ensure that the content would stretch all the way across the screen, but it still maintained my padding settings.

    Currently, when I check 'Auto Fit Height' and preview, it will remove any padding and press the elements super close together - making it a useless function because there's no breathing room on the page anymore. So what I'm doing as a workaround is manually adding tons of padding so the images/text look centered vertically on the slide. Please bring back the original…

  3. have the hand cursor an option you can turn off like in classic

    Hide the hand (cursor) when hovering over the hotspot so I can create a "find the error by clicking on it" type of knowledge check without the hand cursor giving away the location of the right answer.

  4. Bug: Copy & Paste Between Projects

    Copy and Paste between projects has now been included, but many slides crash upon pasting into the new project. I can paste some slides with no issues, but others cause the program to crash. I can reproduce the crash over and over, but can't seem to narrow down the reason why some slides cause the crash. I can narrow down to particular slides however. Also, add the ability to Drag & Drop slides between projects. Captivate 12.5

  5. Add support for smart quotes when typing text

    When typing quotes in Captivate 12.6, all single and double quotation marks appear as "straight quotes" or "typewriter quotes." Improve the readability and display of text typed directly into captivate by automatically converting these punctuation marks into “curly” quotes (also known as ‘smart’ quotes).

    While it is possible to insert the improved “smart” quotes by copying and pasting from a word processor (e.g., Microsoft Word), it is not always convenient to copy and paste text from another document when authoring a course directly in Captivate. Additionally, quoted text built into the software by default (for example: Select "Next" or press…

  6. Fix the TOC Drag and Drop Grouping Feature

    We are experiencing inconsistent performance with the TOC editability. It often crashes or does not work. Specifically, when trying to drag slides into groups, we are not able to drop the slide into the group. We also experience crashing occasionally when trying to rename items in the table of contents. We have gotten it to work in one project, but are having inconsistent results with other projects.

  7. Persistant "clicked" state for click object in simulation after returning to the slide

    Currently in Captivate 12 simulation, clicking an object to go down one path, then returning to the original slide does not result in that item persisting in the "clicked" state. (My goal is to force the learner to click on every item, which will bring them to another slide and back, before proceeding to a feedback page).

  8. Bug Report: On a simulation slide, deleting an object such as a clickable box does not delete the interactions for that object

    There is a bug on the simulation slides in Captivate 12. If you add an additional click box, and interaction for that click box is automatically populated in the interactions pane. If you delete that click box, it is removed from the timeline, but the interaction remains. I have not yet found a way to delete the interaction.

  9. web link video interactions

    When having a web link for a video and trying to interact with it it doesn't register, for example having a button disabled on Enter Slide and then enable it by the interaction "Objects Clicked" pointed at the video and that video is not a regular video but a web link video it doesn't work, needless to say that when using a regular video it does indeed work.

  10. Course Crashes when pasting formatted text into a text box

    I have a lesson on AI that asks the user to paste the results into the text box to verify they completed the task. When a user clicks the "Copy" button at the bottom of ChatGPT and tries to paste that into a Captivate textbox, the course crashes. The text box should only allow "plain text" to paste and remove any formatting - or add a rich text box which would allow for additional formatting to be pasted.

  11. Widget Bug

    I've spent hours rebuilding the same slide several times. I've replaced the backgrounds on the cards with images. I reach a certain point in creating overlays etc - then get an error message in the browser on preview saying "Something Went Wrong." Then, I have to start over. I've wasted so much time, and I'm realising The All New Captivate is full of glitches and bugs! Please help.

  12. Get rid of the breaths in AI voices

    Real humans do pause for breaths, but professional narrators do so less, and professional productions edit it out. So why do AI voices need so many pauses where we hear a breath sound?

  13. Duplicating a slide with generated text-to-speech causes a hard crash

  14. Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox

    I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

  16. Enable changing order of carousel objects without remaking them.

    In the carousel widget (and others like it, such as flip card), allow reordering of elements without completely remaking them, perhaps with drag-and-drop.

  18. Fit Font to Slide

    Kathleen and I think it would be beneficial when editing a theme to have an option that adjusts the font size to fit the content displayed on a slide. i.e. ensure that there are no line breaks for the currently selected content.

  19. Click to Reveal widget issue when using custom images

    I have the latest version of the all-new Captivate (12.5) and I'm experiencing a bug with the "Click to Reveal" widget when trying to use custom images. To replicate this issue: In the click to reveal widget, add a custom image and change its display from "fill" to "fit", do the same for the "Hover" state. Try to preview. The only thing that shows in the page is "Something went wrong!"

    This error happens only when using "Fit" as the display, it works fine when using "Fill" so I'm guessing that it's something to do with the states.
