  2. Jump to bookmark with Overlay - Audio Issue

    On my main slide, I added bookmarks (located after the slide audio). The bookmarks open an overlay slide with audio. If I jump to the first bookmark before the main slide audio is finished, the overlay opens and the overlay audio plays; however, the main slide audio also starts over and plays at the same time. If I wait for the main slide audio to end and jump to the first bookmark, it does not happen.

    Note - it works fine in preview but not after publishing.

  3. add AI voice cloning option for updating legacy narration clips. My CP clients like my own voice and branding continuity is important.

    I use Eleven Labs but it would be much easier to add voice cloning into CP. Or, acquire Eleven Labs and integrate it into all of Adobe multimedia products!

  4. Add ability to change states of text block - not just the components within the block

    It would be great if there was an option to change the state of a text block, not just the components within the block.

    For example, I'd like the ability to change the text of the title subtitle, but I also want to be able to change the background color of the entire block based on an action of the user.

  5. Enable more design features for the quiz slides

    Currently if you insert a quiz slide you cannot add any additional design elements - they are all greyed out. It would be great if there was more flexibility with the design on these slides as it is a critical slide for e-learning

  6. Allow autoplay of event video upon slide enter.

    Using version 12.5, it would be helpful to have the option to force an event video to play automatically upon slide enter.

  8. Software Simulation: Instructions Box, unable to Change States

    Bug: When doing the software simulation, the instructions box does not show any states. When I preview: it has a hint box but I can't change anything on there. I want to be able to remove it.

    Font bug: When simply changing a default font Georgia from a text and image block to "Lato" font, the software crashes. The font can be used in any other Adobe applications so not sure why Captivate crashes with such a simple task.

  10. Dedicated Description Location option

    I would like a dedicated location where all the timeline callouts appear in the same location. There are times when the callout blocks out the other hotspots, when the callout appears. I often times have a location on the image that is clear and would like that all callouts appear there since they close each other out.

    Ultimately I would like to manually move the callouts to where ever I feel is the most appropriate location.

  11. Bug: Center alignment and movement of tab widget

    In version 12.4, the Tabs Widget does not remain center-aligned when published. Even though the widget appears centered during editing, it shifts position upon preview and publish. Additionally, when the browser window is resized, the tab widget moves erratically instead of maintaining its centered placement. This affects the visual consistency and usability of the project.

    Attached is a short video and image showing the issue.
    Requesting a fix so the Tabs Widget can maintain proper center alignment on initial load and when resizing the browser window.

  12. Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.

    In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

  13. Add the ability to navigate to a component on a single slide or on another slide.

    You should be able to set an interaction so that by clicking on a button, image or other object like text, you can navigate to another component on a slide.
    This is vital for slides that have scrolling so that you can click a button to navigate to a point further down (or up) the slide.

  14. Add completion status for click-to-reveal for slide interactions

    . . . so that a slide interaction on a slide that has the click-to-reveal widget can depend on whether all the cards in the widget have been click.

    This is because the forward and back buttons are much more prominent than the "X" in the top right of the revealed card. Users don't see the "X" and mistakenly click on the back button instead trying to return to the front of the card. If you have completion status for the click-to-reveal widget, those buttons could be hidden until the user has clicked on all the cards.

  15. 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.

  17. make textbox in Overlay of Click-To-Reveal widget adjustable in size instead of adding scrollbars..

    When adding text to the textbox in the overlay of the "click to reveal" widget, the system adds scrollbars. it would be more convenient and user friendly if the textbox could be adjusted in size. Also in proportion to the whole overlay container.

  18. Improve question slides

    I want to request a small but significant improvement to the question slides. My current client would like me to use the AI voices for the feedback captions as well. I can do this by creating a temporary blank slide, generating the audio, exporting it, and then importing the audio into the caption on the question slide. It would be great if I could access the text-to-speech window directly from the audio section of the caption, as it would save me a lot of steps. Also, if the submit button could be programmed to pause the slide, it would effectively…

  19. Make active slide easier to see

    Currently, on the Slide navigator, the outline or highlight that tells you which slide you are working on (active slide) is too thin and difficult to see. PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER to see the active slide on the list by applying a thicker bright color border around the active slide. See my attachment.

  20. Bring back the markup/editing tools in the new Captivate for iOS.

    I create elearning and I need all the boxes and arrows and text boxes that have disappeared from v12.5. I can't even HIDE a slide after I've recorded something in this version. If those tools are not coming back, please let us know. I will need to cancel my subscription and move to another creation tool.
