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.

Text Drag and Drop
I don't use the drag and drop because currently it is only for pictures. Would be nice to have the ability to have learners drag and drop text to other text.

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.4 votes -
SUGGESTION: Table of Contents Enables Progressively
It would be very helpful if the sections of the TOC were disabled (visible but greyed out) and only became active as users progressed through a module. This would allow for progression visibility but would prevent folks from jumping all over the place.
Perhaps an added dropdown in the TOC editor called, 'Enable on Visit of Slide' then the dropdown options (slide number, previous slide, etc.)
Thank you for your consideration.

slide video controls
The Slide Video block needs to be rebuilt. What is expected is that this behave like an event video since this is how billions of users on You Tube et. al. interact with content on the web. Here is how it could work: Add video block to slide. Select Autofit height - video fills the block appropriately to project dimensions. Any additional blocks added to the slide should respect the autofit setting and not create an extended scroll. Furthermore, all of these settings should be respected in responsive design to each device (Desktop, Tablet, Phone). Lastly, the video should have…

[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": "© $$Project.Copyright$$ — $$Date.Year$$",
"customStyles": {
"all": {}

[Feature] Make Project Information available as system variables
Problem:
The metadata entered under Edit → Preferences → Project → Information (Author, Company, Email, Website, Copyright, Project Name, Description) is stored in the project settings but cannot be used dynamically within the project.Suggestion:
Expose these fields as system variables so they can be reused throughout the project — for example, in headers, footers, or legal notices.Examples:
$$Project.Author$$,$$Project.Company$$,$$Project.Copyright$$, etc.Additional useful metadata could include:
$$Project.Version$$,$$Project.CreatedDate$$,$$Project.LastModifiedDate$$,$$Project.CreatedBy$$,$$Project.LastModifiedBy$$.This would enable centralized updates and more transparent project documentation — especially for collaborative or versioned workflows.

[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 -
Selecting Multiple Objects & Object Alignment
Be able to select multiple objects at once on a single slide, alignment options for said objects (including while multiple objects on slide) against other objects.

Object alignment against slide
Provide suggested alignment against slide when moving objects so that object aligns with slide and is not off-center if not desired.
Here you can see that the ppt import imported the black box, but did not align to the slide in a central manner so the box is partially off of the slide. Need to be able to center box against the slide.

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).

Issue with Overlapping Drop Answers
When multiple answers are placed in the same drop location, they stack on top of one another, making it difficult for the learner to see or distinguish between them. Ideally, answers should display side by side within the drop area. Additionally, learners should be able to move or adjust answers after they’ve been placed, without needing to reset the entire interaction if only one item is incorrect.

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.
