Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing
The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.

The new Adobe Captivate version does not allow placing objects in a custom order. It only supports drag-and-drop using predefined templates. For example, if we need to position titles, images, icons, or buttons freely on the slide, this flexibility is missing. Currently, all custom design options are limited, forcing us to use only what Captivate provides.

SCORM Integrity Checks
Publishing to SCORM can be tricky, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out why a SCORM course is having issues. I propose adding integrity tools that check your project for common setup issues when SCORM is enabled. For example, if you set the setting so that a completion is getting a 90 on the quiz, and your total score does not add up to 90 points within your project, there is a problem. Perhaps you have 3 retries set, but you did not provide a button, set a setting, or have a path for them to retake the…

Hyperlink improvement
Hyperlinks do not always work. Our policy link looks like this and Captivate 12 doesn't accept it: https://epm.azahcccs.gov/EligibilityPolicyManual/index.html#t=Policy%2FChapter_400_AHCCCS_Medical_Assistance_Programs%2FMA0413.htm
If I convert it to a tiny UTL, that type of link does work. https://tinyurl.com/EPM413

[Feature] Allow renaming of user-defined variables
Currently, user-defined variables can only be renamed in the variable manager if they are not referenced in the project. Variables that are already in use cannot be renamed, which limits flexibility.
Suggested improvement:
Allow renaming of user-defined variables directly in the variable manager, with all references in the project being updated automatically.2 votes -
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…

When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

Add checkboxes with Select All or Deselect All when editing Table of Contents
When creating courses in Captivate, we often have over 100 slides, but we only want our users to have access to maybe 10 in the Table of Contents. In Captivate 12.6, I have to deselect each slide which is obnoxiously time consuming. The "eye" icon action should be replaced with check boxes with "Select All" or "Deselect All" options at the top.

[Feature/Bug] Cards Widget: Perspective and mouseover overlay customization
Problem:
- The.flip-card-containerin the global stylesheet uses theperspectiveproperty. This value cannot be adjusted via the GUI or thedesignOption.json.
- If no image is set on the front side, a gray mouseover overlay appears. Its color and visibility cannot currently be changed in the GUI or thedesignOption.json.Suggestion:
- Make theperspectivevalue adjustable in both the GUI and thedesignOption.json.
- Allow configuring the color and behavior (show/hide) of the mouseover overlay in the GUI anddesignOption.json.1 vote -
[Bug] Quote Widget ignores styling and lacks clear component references
Problem:
The Quote Widget does not fully respond to styles defined indesignOption.json.Details:
- The containerscontainer-quotes-text,slide-item-quotes-icon-container-1, andslide-item-quotes-icon-container-2ignore custom style definitions and seem to have structural inconsistencies.
- Incontainer-quotes-card, there are no documented or discoverable component names (e.g.,quoteText,quoteIcon1,quoteIcon2), making it impossible to target, enable, or disable these elements withindesignOption.json.
- Several layout properties in the global stylesheet cannot be overridden locally withindesignOption.json.Suggestion:
Document all component names and ensure that each element of the Quote Widget can be fully styled and…1 vote -

[Feature] Custom CSS as a first step toward an open widget architecture
Problem:
Widget styles can currently only be customized via designOptions.json. Many widget structure elements cannot be targeted or modified globally.Suggestion:
Add the ability to include a custom CSS file at the project or theme level. This stylesheet should allow global adjustments and overrides of Captivate’s core CSS.In the long term, Captivate could – similar to the Adapt Framework – offer an open widget system, where custom or modified widgets are possible. Custom CSS would be a useful, practical intermediate step that provides immediate benefits and paves the way toward a fully modular architecture.

[Feature] Extended background image options
Problem:
Current background image settings in Captivate are rather limited and don’t fully reflect the flexibility of CSS.Suggestion:
Add support for the following additional background-related properties and options:- Background attachment — Currently only
scrollis available. Addingfixedwould enable simple parallax effects. - Background position — Currently only horizontal alignment is supported. Vertical alignment (
top,center,bottom) and relative or absolute positioning (percent, pixels) should be possible. - Background repeat — Only
repeatis currently available. Separate control forrepeat-xandrepeat-ywould be useful. - Background size — Currently only
containandcover, as well…

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.

provide better support for xAPI
When I publish to xAPI using Adobe Captivate (modern and classic), I cannot get it to generate POST statements to my Learning Record Store when I run the content. Spent a lot of time working with my friend Claude to troubleshoot, but no success.

Publishing over an existing published folder of the same name (as after making revisions), erases the contents
If you make revisions to a project that you previously published to a folder, and you re-publish over that same folder, it erases the contents of the folder and does not create new published content. You end up with a folder that only has the project.text file in it.
