    I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13. I attended the Adobe Learning Summit and spoke to the developers about it, but have not received a resolution.

    TOC Navigation Control Missing in New Adobe Captivate
    Issue Summary:
    In the new version of Adobe Captivate, Table of Contents (TOC) items are enabled from the beginning, allowing users to skip slides without completing them. This undermines the learning flow and defeats the purpose of structured eLearning.
    Expected Behavior:
    There should be an option or variable to disable TOC items initially, and enable each item only after the corresponding lesson or slide is completed.
    Actual Behavior:

    All TOC items are accessible from the start.
    Learners can skip ahead without engaging with the content.
    No built-in setting or variable is available…

  3. 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.

  4. [Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    textProps values such as fontWeight set in designOption.json are displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g., font-weight: normal;). Other textProps (like textAlign) work as expected.

    {
      "tag": "slide-item-subtitle",
      "preset": "text-body-6",
      "customStyles": {
          "all": {}
      },
      "customProperties": {
          "alignmentAndSpacing": {},
          "textProps": {
              "fontWeight": "600",
              "textAlign": "center"
          }
      }
    },
    

    In the rendered output, inline styles appear such as:

    font-weight: normal;
    

    Impact:
    - Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output
    - Paragraph styles cannot be reliably overridden
    - UI feedback is misleading (shows correct…

  5. [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.

  6. [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 the designOption.json. The element container-image-text does not occupy the designated grid-area because it is not a direct child of the container-image-card element 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.
    See screenshot: design-options_image-01.png

  7. [Feature] Support for custom slide templates in the Assets panel

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    The Assets panel currently allows importing only Adobe-provided example slides. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism to manage and distribute custom slide templates within a team. This leads to unnecessary manual effort and makes it harder to maintain consistent layouts across larger projects and teams.

    Suggestion:
    Extend the Assets panel to allow importing and centrally managing custom slide templates. Ideally, this should integrate with existing Creative Cloud mechanisms.

    Benefits:
    - faster production through template reuse,
    - consistent corporate design,
    - improved team collaboration,
    - reduced redundant work.

  8. [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 the theme.json and customisations.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 through theme.json and customisations.json

    Optional Enhancements:
    - Sorting styles
    - Grouping (e.g., Headings, Body Text, Labels)

    Benefits:
    - cleaner…

  9. [Feature] Support for Character Styles for Inline Text

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    Currently, Captivate only supports paragraph-level formatting (Paragraph Styles). There is no way to define reusable character styles for quick and consistent inline emphasis. The existing “Highlight” inline element is too limited (no padding, margin, border, border-radius, etc.), leading to inconsistent workarounds and unnecessary manual inline formatting.

    Use Cases:
    - Highlighting key terms
    - Inline quotes / badges
    - Keyboard shortcuts / keycaps
    - Code snippets
    - Labels / status indicators

    Suggestion:
    Introduce freely definable character styles supporting:
    - color, background-color
    - font properties
    - padding, margin
    - border, border-radius

    Configurable in:
    - GUI (Theme-Editor)
    - theme.json

    Benefits:

  10. [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 block container-image-text increases in height. There is no setting in either the Captivate GUI or the designOption.json to 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 screenshots design-options_image-02.png and design-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., via object-fit)
    - adapt responsively to varying content heights…

  11. [Feature] Custom layout slides with freely configurable Design Options

    Problem:
    New content slides can currently only be created based on predefined layout categories (e.g., Comparison, Meet the Team). Each layout only allows importing a fixed set of Design Options defined in its associated designOption.json. Additional components cannot be added, which makes layouts unnecessarily rigid and difficult to adapt to custom design requirements or corporate branding.

    Example:
    Meet the Team only allows paragraph and image-grid. Adding an additional paragraph beneath the grid is not possible.

    {
      "type": "Meet the Team",
      "name": "$$name",
      "description": "$$description",
      "designOptionId": "LAYOUTS_MEET_THE_TEAM",
      "isDefault": false,
      "version": "1.0",
      "thumbnail": "thumbnail.png",
      "styles": [
         {
          "tag": "paragraph",
          "designOptionId":

  12. Allow content creators to import .doc or .pdf text to populate a template.

    If there were tags that could be placed into a word document that could call for a slide option in a project template, then the program could auto-populate text and images into predetermined slide options. This would allow for a rapid conversion to Captivate files when receiving only text, image and link content from authors.

    Many of our authors are accustomed to a particular set of procedures for content development. We need a simple method to take the content provided and convert it to a Captivate project.

    If there were <tag>s of some sort that could identify sections of text…

  13. Variables and Design Options

    We all understand that Captivate 12 is "built around a template-based authoring approach, designed to streamline project creation with minimal effort." that's just great. And we all want a simple user interface for our content creators who are less technically savvy, which Captivate provides. That does not mean that the content administrators don't still need the ability to have custom templates with variables to integrate properly with their LMS (and in our case LRS). We have government mandated variable time requirements for slide dwell time and total lesson duration. We also have varying pass percentage requirements.

    There are a large…

  14. [Feature] Option for automatic display of timeline events (without click)

    Problem:
    In the current Timeline widget, each event must be clicked manually for its associated content (text/image) to appear.
    This interaction pattern is not ideal for all learning scenarios — especially in linear or narrative timelines, repeated clicking can be distracting and offers little didactic value.

    Suggestion:
    Add an option in the Captivate GUI and in the designOption.json to control the behavior:
    - Manual (current behavior): The user clicks each event to reveal its content.
    - Automatic: The content is always visible.
    - For better user experience: The content appears with a smooth fade-in or motion animation when the event…

  15. [Feature] New Widget for Expandable Single Sections (Disclosure / Details)

    Background:
    On longpages or compact content layouts, there is often a need for expandable single sections for supplementary content such as transcripts, glossaries, or additional information. An accordion widget is overkill for this purpose, as it requires multiple tabs and semantically implies a group behavior.

    Problem:
    - The Accordion widget cannot currently be reduced to a single tab.
    - Using a "pseudo-accordion" with only one panel is semantically incorrect and may negatively impact accessibility and user orientation.
    - There is no dedicated widget to toggle individual content sections, making implementation cumbersome.

    Suggestion:
    A dedicated widget based on the established HTML5 …

  16. 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.

  17. allow the addition of custom assets in template info.json

    info.json ("C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\12.0\content\Templates\info.json") elements populate the project template assets menu. There is an internal updating mechanism that prevents any additions from persisting in this .json. Further, the "id" seems to lead to another asset that populates the slide choice menu when you select a project from the project template assets menu. We need our templates to be configured to populate this menu so that our content developers can select our standard templates from the assets menu. This is critical. Pulling slides and configuring slides from a 'template project' that is open in a different window is clunky, prone to variable…

    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.

  19. [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 designOption.json.

  20. 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.
