[Feature] Option to automatically unflip inactive cards in the Cards Widget
Problem:
Currently, any card flipped in the Cards Widget remains active ("flipped") until it is clicked again. As a result, multiple cards can remain flipped simultaneously, which can be confusing in many learning scenarios.Suggestion:
Add an option that controls this behavior: When a new card is flipped, the previously active card should automatically flip back to its front side.This setting should be configurable both in the GUI and

Allow autoplay of simulations
Setting the course to autoplay doesn't work on courses that are only simulations. If that is by design, it should be made clearer.

Bug- Mac Users Have Different Text
When I create trainings, they work just as expected on Windows but if someone on a Mac opens it the text turns into a different font and is not matching my company branding as I designed it to.

Bug: "Apply appearance" is only partial
When copying the appearance between instruction boxes, only certain aspects of the boxes are copied (such as border and background colour) while others are not (font face and box corner radius).

Export Project Content and Captions
I have discovered that the Export project content and captions workflow is missing an important text component that should be corrected as soon as possible. The various feedback captions for question slides seem to be missing from the resulting Word document. I guess it would be considered a bug as this is a major omission for the software.

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.

Generate Avatar TTS
A change to be able to hear TTS before generating avatar would be great. Sometimes you have to do a small change to make the speech flow better and having to wait stinks but even more important it would save from using credits. Or changing it to stop using the premium credits when we use the audio only which would match more closely to the TTS through the add audio section.

[Feature] Overlay slides should be fully customizable
Version: 13.0
Problem:
Overlay slides currently receive several automatic CSS properties that cannot be controlled:
- Padding on.cp-overlay-slide
- Padding on.cp-overlay-slide .cp-slide-wrapper
-min-heightvalues
-box-shadoweffectsThese defaults make it difficult to integrate overlays consistently into existing designs.
Suggestion:
Overlay slides should be customizable just like normal slides and appear exactly the same within the parent slide. Effects such as blur, box-shadow, etc. should be optional and configurable via the GUI.1 vote -
Crashing during AI Avatar
I have had a couple of attempts to create an AI Avatar for an imported PowerPoint. I was recording for YouTube at the time, submitted the crash using the crash report but thought it might be beneficial to see what I was doing at the time.

[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.2 votes -
Ease to copy/paste video bookmark actions (pause timeline)
This is an entire branching scenario that already has scenes made on PowToon. Clips per scene are usually 2 min long, and I have to put bookmarks to pause the timeline for each dialogue bubble. The problem is that bookmark actions can't be copied/pasted, and I have to manually select an action for book mark. It's going to take me forever to finish them all.

[Bug] Design Option “Image” does not respond correctly to grid styling
Version: 12.6
Problem:
The “Image” design option partially fails to respond to grid styling defined in thedesignOption.json. The elementcontainer-image-textdoes not occupy the designated grid-area because it is not a direct child of thecontainer-image-cardelement where the grid is applied.In Chrome DevTools, it is visible that the instruction
grid-area: 1 / 1 / span 1 / span 1;has no effect because the target element does not participate in the grid context.

[Feature] Management of Custom Paragraph Styles in the Theme Editor
Version: 13.0
Problem:
Custom Paragraph Styles can currently be created in the Captivate GUI, but:
- they cannot be renamed or deleted,
- they do not appear in the Theme Editor,
- they are not manageable through thetheme.jsonandcustomisations.json.This leads to cluttered style lists, inconsistent formatting across slides, and limits proper corporate design handling.
Suggestion:
- Enable full management of Custom Paragraph Styles:
- Create in the Theme Editor
- Rename
- Delete
- Expose and edit throughtheme.jsonandcustomisations.jsonOptional Enhancements:
- Sorting styles
- Grouping (e.g., Headings, Body Text, Labels)Benefits:
- cleaner…2 votes -
[Feature] Option for image container to grow with text in the “Image” Design Option
Version: 12.6
Problem:
Currently, the image in the "Image" Design Option does not grow when the text blockcontainer-image-textincreases in height. There is no setting in either the Captivate GUI or thedesignOption.jsonto scale the image vertically along with its content.
In responsive layouts (e.g., hero sections, split layouts), this leads to unbalanced designs, awkward proportions, and unnecessary whitespace.
See screenshotsdesign-options_image-02.pnganddesign-options_image-03.png.Suggestion:
Add an optional setting that allows the image to:
- grow vertically with the text container
- maintain its aspect ratio (e.g., viaobject-fit)
- adapt responsively to varying content heights…2 votes -
Allow hotspot widgets to be "hidden"
Allow the hotspot widget either as a "Content Section" or as an Object. I need to be able to have a hotspot widget be hidden on slide enter, and a button to show the widget once clicked (or in this case, once a drag and drop has been submitted)
