Slide video sometimes restarts the video
I have several slides with slide video blocks, each of which displays a different MP4 video file. The project is hosted on a web server, not an LMS. I noticed that when I updated the videos, and re-uploaded the project to the web server, the videos would often spontaneously restart anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds into the video. The problem was more pronounced after I cleared my browser (Edge) cache, and the restart problem seemed to go away after I ran the project a few times. This led me to believe it was related to how the slide video…

Use the Project Name in Preferences for the tab description, rather than the filename
Currently there is a line in the assets > js > project.js file as follows:
pN:'My Captivate project filename.cpt'
The value for pN is set to the filename and extension of the Captivate Project. This is also the value that is shown as the browser tab description when running the project in a browser. It would be better if, instead of showing the filename - which has little interest to the user - it instead shows the Project Name under Project Information in the Preferences. The Project Name can be set to something meaningful to the user, which would likely…

Bug - Tabs Widget does not show correctly in preview
When using the Tabs Widget in captivate all looks fine but in preview in Horizontal Mobile (only) all texts is cramped into the right side. When you remove the image element there is no such problem. It seems that the picture does not resize, therefore not space is left for the text. It is a shame because this widget has a lot of use cases in learning. See attached media. Any idea of fixes will be welcomed.

Create the ability to insert videos to auto play and place and shrink wherever it's needed by the user
Currently, if you want to insert a video, it creates a rectangular prison that doesnt allow the video to be moved (for me, I created an animation in Adobe express and uploaded it as an MP4 into Captivate- since it is an ADOBE product, it should be integrated into other adobe programs)
It also doesnt allow for resizing beyond a certain size regardless if you undo auto.

Fix Captivate (new - 13.1) launch screen to be accessible at different text sizes.
I updated to 13.1 yesterday, hoping to be able to adjust the reading order in a classic project. Installed the new version and noticed that things didn't fit in the launch screen and were getting cut off. I clicked the Import button and selected the Captivate Classic option. The popup opened, but the image extended and was cut off at the bottom of the screen, and I was missing the Learn more link and the Continue button. There's no option to scroll or resize anything in the Launch screen, nor can you resize the launch screen itself. My colleague tried…

Create a image comparison slider widget
Since you have created the like slider could you also create a image comparison slider widget like this
I have been using sliders like this in the web object but it preforms really badly in the mobile view.

This new version is no where compare to Classic Captivate and now voted suggestion may take decade to be par with CPC
A new version should retain all the features of the old one while also introducing meaningful enhancements. However, the new CP still falls far short of CPC. The development team may not fully understand which CPC features users rely on, and some basic options have been removed entirely. For example, adding a simple text box now requires inserting an entire block, with limited editing options that are locked within a group. In addition, the new CP crashes too often. If every missing feature must go through a suggestion and voting process before the development team prioritizes it, it could take…

Custom Completion Certificate Filename
It would be helpful to have the ability to set a custom download name for the certificate file instead of using the default “Captivate Certificate.” Many users aren’t tech‑savvy, and renaming downloaded files can be challenging. Allowing authors to define a filename that matches the course title would make the process much more user‑friendly.

Being able to add to the number of checkbox rows within interactive components
As seen in the 2 attached screenshots, there is no way to add/increase the number of checkboxes (as an interactive component) for use in a checklist type of a scenario. Currently multiple separate checkbox components will need to be created for a workaround which is a lengthy process as spacings need to be changed.

Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation
I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

Mouse Properties - Size Apply to all slides
In Classic I could amend my mouse properties so that a mouse click only lasted for 1 second and was a straight path and I always positioned at the first part of every slide to make editing a lot easier and then I would apply to all slides - can we please have this feature in New Captivate - otherwise it makes editing ten times as long without it

Export slides to PDF
Please add a function that allows a Captivate project to be exported to PDF. Articulate does this and it is very helpful for leverating generative AI for grammar and spell checks.

Slide Customization
While the slide and widget templates are helpful, it would also be useful to allow for customization of blank slides. This allows the designer to create custom layouts much as Articulate Storyline does

Configure UI to emulate PowerPoint
The Captivate UI is not terribly intuitive. The solution would be much easier to learn and implement if you revised the UI to emulate a tab style format similar to PowerPoint.

Bug: Import PPT slides results in "Something went wrong." screen in 13.1.1 update.
From the Home screen, I select the Import> PowerPoint Import option. I select my PPT file, Captivate shows me all the slides and verifies the selected slide. I click "Import" and get an error screen. This is in the new 13.1.1 version.

Allow imported PPT slides to adjust to full screen 1920x1080 resolution to match full screen software simulations.
When I combine full screen simulations (1920x1080) with an imported PPT file, the simulation resolution pinches down to the smaller ppt (desktop) resolution. When I preview it, the simulation can no longer be viewed in full, it contains scroll bars in order to see the entire screen. When I try to import a ppt into a screen simulation, I receive a message that this cannot be completed. It is problematic.

Enable the image space to be adjustable.
Right now, there is dead space on top and bottom of the image added to the widget. If I add an image that is less height than that prescribed area, that space should be able to be reduced so reduce the dead space in the page.

Certificate widget exits the slide unexpectedly
I have a certificate widget on the last slide of my project. The Certificate Download is toggled ON. I have noticed on several occasions that when I try to click the Certificate Download icon in the top right of the certificate, the project exits and completes the exit action specified in the Preferences > Project > Project End, before I can click on the Certificate Download icon. I have added two buttons below the certificate widget, and the expected behavior is that I have all the time I need to click the Certificate Download icon, and then click one of…
