[Bug] Inline margin in Tabs widget (cp-content-image)
In the Tabs widget, Captivate injects an inline margin (
margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px) into thecp-content-imageelement at page generation:<div class="cp-content-image" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 2% 0px 0px; padding: 0px; flex: 0 1 40%;">...</div>This behavior overrides any margin settings defined in

Improve documentation for design options
The design options concept is the most powerful feature in Captivate 12 and the key to building custom layouts. However, documentation is very limited. It is often unclear which JSON properties are actually supported for each widget, and many entries defined in the JSON are not transformed by Captivate.
Suggested improvement:
- Provide an example.json file for every widget, showing all possible properties (“grammar”) of the design options.
- Especially for more complex widgets (accordion, tabs, carousel, etc.), this would help developers understand what can be customized.
- Include notes for properties that are not yet transformed but are planned…1 vote -
[Feature] Additional content wrapper for all design objects
Problem:
Currently,div.cp-widget-containerdirectly contains the widget elements.Suggestion:
It is recommended to introduce an additional content wrapper element belowdiv.cp-widget-containerfor all widgets (videos, text, images, quizzes, etc.). This new wrapper should hold the actual content and control its maximum width, while the outer container can still be used for full-width background styling.Benefits:
1. The existingdiv.cp-widget-containercan continue to provide full-width background styling (color, image, etc.), stretching across the entire slide.
2. The new inner wrapper (e.g.,div.cp-widget-container__inner) should hold the actual content and define a maximum content width to center and structure the layout consistently.…1 vote -
[Feature] Wrap VideoCaption and VideoBody in their own container
Caption and Body should be nested in their own parent element for flexible layout, e.g.:
<container-video-grid> <container-video-grid-card> <video></video> <videoText> <videoCaption></videoCaption> <videoBody></videoBody> </videoText> </container-video-grid-card> </container-video-grid>Benefit: Easier layout control, consistent spacing, flexible arrangement of video and text.

[Bug] Remove inline height on page generation
Captivate currently injects a fixed inline height (220px) into Video Grid containers at page generation:
<div id="videoContainer_si78699" class="videoContainer" data-desktop-height="220" automation-id="slidevideo:::container_aspectratio" style="height: 220px; width: 100%;">This prevents proper responsive behavior and overrides custom CSS.
Expected behavior: No fixed inline height should be injected. Instead, the container should default to
height: 100%, so that its size can be fully controlled by parent elements defined in thedesignOption.json.1 vote -
allow free movement of blocks
The interface using a fixed block-based layout is awful. Jumping through hoops just to design a slide with a video where I want it and a text box next to it.

Simplify Quiz design
The ability to remove the quiz feedback captions. In 2019 you can drag them away from the slide to hide them. "Submit All" simplify the process for a range of quiz questions. Allow the selections of buttons that meets the design requirement. such as just a "back" and "next" button on each slide to navigate through the quiz. On the final quiz slide show the "Submit All" button to submit all the answers in one go.

Cards and LMS Reporting
I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on each of the cards l so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can tag the image on the card as reportable if it's clicked, and I can tag the Title of the card as reportable, but if you just click within the card and not on the icon or a label direclty, seems I can't report the fact that the card was flipped as a score to the LMS. For example, if there are 4 cards, and the user clicked 3,…

Carousel Widget and LMS Reporting
I want to be able to give the user points for clicking on the items of the carousel so I can see that they viewed each one. Currently it seems I can only report if they click on the arrow. If I have 4 items, and they keep clicking the arrow (say 6 times), do they keep getting points? Seems I should be able to report on the card states instead. If they only click on 2 of 4 cards, I want the LMS to report 2 as a reportable score.

Cache - should ask you to change your default locations instead of being duplicated
There should be a contradiction in the place in the preferences, where it says 'clear cache' -- the two file save locations -- one is the file location of the .cpt file, and the other is the cache file location. these should NOT be the same, nor should it be an option to be saved in the same place.
Why you ask?
Because I had my HUGE module saved to the same location in both of these locations. I cleared my cache. Then... POOF, my entire module - GONE!. Up in smoke. Disappeared.Nothing told me I was deleting my…

This program is unusable in its current state.
This program is unusable. Assets do not load, especially if you already have a system image loaded. Click to reveal does not work if you change image, or any settings (Something went wrong), Accordion crashes, you can't change image size so even if you have a small image it shows up huge in the slide. Hot spots, image is small and you can only size if horizontally. Slides and pictures resize from the editor to the preview. Its just ongoing. Unless you have a very simple course and you dont want to use widgets this program is basically useless. Going…

Enabling a border around click boxes
Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.
Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.
Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

Accordion Widget formatting
Accordion should also allow:
- formatting the text inside the accordion tabs content, as now you can only apply presets, but not add bold or italic to the content
- more than one tab open at the same time as an option, or all the tabs to be open altogether
- copy and paste appearance of tabs
- include the tab text in the states, so the text can have different colours in each state1 vote -
[Feature] Grid and Visible Borders for Design Options
Version: 13.0
Problem:
When working in Captivate, visual aids such as grids, borders, or width and height indicators are missing. Apart from the highlight shown when directly clicking a Design Option or on slide overflow, the positioning of elements is difficult to control – especially for complex layouts.Suggestion:
- Visible borders for Design Options and their sub-elements, optionally toggleable.
- Fully customizable background grid, similar to Adobe XD or Figma, for better layout orientation.
- Display of width and height measurements for placed elements.1 vote -
Rearranging slides is not working
When I try to drag a slide to a different position within the stack, it either snaps back to its original position or places it far up in the stack at a completely different position.

Need to be able to scale video to fit slide. Basic 101.
Unable to move the Video to the center of the slide and scale it. It does not scale, and it does not leave the top of the page, unless I add Top padding. But adding padding is not an option b/c it fills it black and it is unbalanced top and bottom. I can not delete the color behind the video.

Simulation Blur Area Enhancements
In software simulations where private information is consistently visible (ex: Financial Institutions, Healthcare Systems, etc.), it is difficult to make the sizing of blur areas consistent across slides in Assessment & Training Software Simulations. This could be distracting for end users, and doesn't enable the quality I'd like to deliver. Can you add the ability to copy/paste these blocks, input pixel measurements, or some kind of setting to allow the blur to appear on subsequent slides?
