  1. Bug: carousel indicator dots not showing

    Occasionally when published, carousels with 'indicator' checked in the feature options are appearing without the indicator dots/dashes when published. I'm sure there's a commonality between them but for the time being can't work out what it is -- seemingly random.

  2. Make it possible to change the state of cursor on hover over a hotspot

    If you want to have an invisible hotspot but still reveal it on a hover the only option is to change the initial state of the hotspot to invisible but make the hover state visible.

    You should be able to change the state of the cursor instead. For example, change it from a white arrow to a grey or black one, or from a white arrow to a finger pointer.

  3. Control the size of an icon inside a button or hotspot

    Need full control over the size of an icon inside a button(except S/M/L). You can only control the size of the button/padding arround it.

    Need full control over size of button. S/M/L is not enough.

    Need full customisation of buttons via import of SVGs, not just the icon inside the button. (This can be achieved by inserting an SVG and making it interactive but being able to create and save new buttons would be much better UX.)

  4. But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties

    I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.

    It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.

    Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

  5. Better Typography - Web fonts - options/weights

    I only see a handful of google fonts as options and no Typekit fonts in captivate 12. It is missing big ones like Open Sans, Robot and Inter.

    Allow us to use these or add our own custom web fonts.

    System fonts do not include all weights and styles available.

    While all other adobe apps support using alternative characters, Capitvate does not. You all have been one of the leaders in implementing web font technology and features, what happened?

  6. Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results.

    Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results. This allows us to see what the learner knows before training and what they learned after training.

  7. Align slide directions with direction of step being taken

    When a user click in the forward direction it makes sense to have a default slide direction with the next slide coming from the right. But when they click in the backwards direction, it is visually confusing to have a previous slide arrive from the same (future) direction.
    Like turning pages in a book, going back should not look the same as going forward.

  8. Make "Duration" display in TOC optional

    Please enable us in the TOC and/or Playbar settings to omit the display of duration for each slide. Slide durations are in many trainings insignificant.

  9. Exporting not working

    The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

  10. When allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop, provide a 'try again' caption.

    Provide a ' try again ' caption when allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop. Also when you have an initial attempt that is incorrect, provide the option to automatically reset the drag sources back to the original positions.

  13. Quick Start Projects in 12.3

    Some bugs:
    Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
    You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
    I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
    I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…

  15. Buggy - Locking up & Unreliable

    Captivate locks up frequently on me. Most recently, it locked up during save. When I went back into the program, it no longer had my project listed. The appropriate file within my documents opens captivate, but locks it up with the eternal wait circle. My project at this point seems non-retrievable and will need to be redone. I have to force quit the program. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

  17. Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.

    We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

  18. The ability to not have Black Bars on Video Slides when the video resizes

    When placing a slide video in on the "canvas" it would be good to not have the video have massive black bars at the top and bottom.

    Kind of makes the video aspect ration options irrelevant, when regardless of what you select there, the video has massive black bars on the top and bottom in a a 1:1 square
