Report to LMS > Interaction ID Number Customization
It would be very helpful if we could set preferences that allow for customized naming convention for Interaction IDs that are shared with our LMS. Currently, we have to rename them each manually which is doable but costs a good deal of time. I would love it if in project settings I could configure a sequenced naming convention for scored items to follow. For instance, rather than the default three to four digits, configuring Interaction IDs to be named, LeadQ1, for a unit on leadership would be amazing. In this example, the '1' would increment as more scorable…

Make Images Exportable for External Editing
I can't find a way to edit an image from Captivate in Illustrator or Photoshop. I am being handed a Captivate file and not always all of the source files used to create it. It'd be really helpful to have a right click and 'Edit in Photoshop' option for when the graphic file is not available. This function exists in other Adobe products, please add it to the new Captivate.

Buttons in branding Footer
The footer is a very common spot for custom navigation buttons. Why are buttons not an option in the footer?!?
This should be an extremely simple fix. Just add the button functions to it.

Fix the TOC Drag and Drop Grouping Feature
We are experiencing inconsistent performance with the TOC editability. It often crashes or does not work. Specifically, when trying to drag slides into groups, we are not able to drop the slide into the group. We also experience crashing occasionally when trying to rename items in the table of contents. We have gotten it to work in one project, but are having inconsistent results with other projects.

Editing Failure State Text
In 13.0, when attempting to edit a Failure State, I can change the color of the shape, but none of the editing of the text applies. In the right editing pane, it shows the change in color or font, but those changes aren't reflected on the project.

Images to States not working
You cant add an image to different states, it allows you to open the upload box then nothing happens when you press load. This means you are left with a solid colour for hover and visited states which doesnt work.

Text Drag and Drop
I don't use the drag and drop because currently it is only for pictures. Would be nice to have the ability to have learners drag and drop text to other text.

A more rodust video player without the need of the video slide.
With the amount of video training and the vast need for playing video libraries inside menus, I would love to see a Video Player, like the existing one, but with capabilities like:
Turn on/off closed captions from the button
The ability to select bookmarks/chapters from the player.
I know some of this can be accomplished from the video slide, but it will be better if it is done from the actual video player. A more robust video player with more options. More like a YouTube experience when young learners can identify better in the video section.4 votes -
[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…

[Feature] Allow variable references in `designOption.json` (extension of placeholder feature)

Currently,designOption.jsonsupports neither placeholder text nor placeholder images. See related suggestion: https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate/suggestions/50456811--feature-custom-placeholder-text-and-images-in-dSuggestion:
Allow Captivate variables to be referenced indesignOption.json. This would enable dynamic values such as author names, project titles, copyright notices, or other metadata to be automatically inserted into text fields.Example:
json
{
"tag": "slide-item-body",
"placeholder": "© $$Project.Copyright$$ — $$Date.Year$$",
"customStyles": {
"all": {}

[Feature] Make Project Information available as system variables
Problem:
The metadata entered under Edit → Preferences → Project → Information (Author, Company, Email, Website, Copyright, Project Name, Description) is stored in the project settings but cannot be used dynamically within the project.Suggestion:
Expose these fields as system variables so they can be reused throughout the project — for example, in headers, footers, or legal notices.Examples:
$$Project.Author$$,$$Project.Company$$,$$Project.Copyright$$, etc.Additional useful metadata could include:
$$Project.Version$$,$$Project.CreatedDate$$,$$Project.LastModifiedDate$$,$$Project.CreatedBy$$,$$Project.LastModifiedBy$$.This would enable centralized updates and more transparent project documentation — especially for collaborative or versioned workflows.

[Feature] Flexible Overlay System for Buttons, Links, and Slides
Problem:
Currently, overlays in Captivate can only be triggered via bookmarks, and each slide overlay can only be used once. Local, reusable overlays directly on the slide do not exist. This limits flexible interactions and reusable designs.Suggestion:
- Trigger overlays via clicks on buttons, images, or text links, without using bookmarks.
- Allow multiple uses of overlay slides, so standard popups can be used multiple times.
- Custom/Local Overlays created and displayed directly on slides (similar to the "Click to Reveal" widget, but freely definable and reusable). Various types could be possible:
- Dialog or info windows…2 votes -
Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).
