  1. Icon on Carousel widget needs more customization and has bugs

    The carousel widget allows you to change the arrow icon shape, but it does not have all of the customization that the svg icons typically have (such as in the buttons). For instance, I wanted to test out something other than an arrow, but when I went back to the arrow, I couldn't flip it. This meant that my arrow was pointed in the wrong direction. I could not fix it without deleting the whole carousel and starting over. Additionally, my client wanted the button much bigger, but that is not possible.

    Additionally, I tried to use my own svg…

  2. Allow audio to be attached to every widget object

    There are several widgets that do not allow audio files to be attached: cards, hotspots, tabs, click to reveal. It seems pretty fundamental that you would want to allow an audio file to play when you click a tab or a hotspot...please add that functionality. Thank you!

  5. Export Captions: add slide number and/or label

    The exported Word document has become even longer than in older versions due to all the multistate objects. The IDs in the first two columns have never made sense to me but in previous versions the last column indicated the slide number. Please add at least that number or if possible also the slide label. It is almost impossible at this moment to find specific items. The possibiliy to hide the superfluous states for buttons would be a great improvement as well. The document at this moment is not very friendly for localisation, which took many steps backwards also for…

  6. User manual to be updated

    Some confusing sentences:

    At the start 'Launch Preferences' I see "On the toolbar, select Adobe Captivate > Preferences".. A menu is not a toolbar, and for WIndows users (still the majority) you find it under Edit, Preferences. BTW I logged the bug that the shortcut key is not working on an AZERTY keyboard, while the former SHIFT-F8 worked perfectly.

    General Preferences, Default locations. It is no longer 'Publish at' but 'Location'. Due to the confusion for many users and problems in the past, a warning message should appear to avoid using the same folder for both and about not using…

  7. View comments in Captivate

  9. Remove solid black border from overlays

    When an overlay first appears it is surrounded by a solid black border even if no border is selected.

    It should be possible to remove this.

  10. Option to remove blur from overlays

    I have experimented with clear backgrounds on overlays but when an overlay is shown the slide below is automatically blurred and there seems to be no way to control this.

    You should be able to make an overlay clear so that the image below can be seen.

  11. Control the size of an icon inside a button or hotspot

    Need full control over the size of an icon inside a button(except S/M/L). You can only control the size of the button/padding arround it.

    Need full control over size of button. S/M/L is not enough.

    Need full customisation of buttons via import of SVGs, not just the icon inside the button. (This can be achieved by inserting an SVG and making it interactive but being able to create and save new buttons would be much better UX.)

  13. Align slide directions with direction of step being taken

    When a user click in the forward direction it makes sense to have a default slide direction with the next slide coming from the right. But when they click in the backwards direction, it is visually confusing to have a previous slide arrive from the same (future) direction.
    Like turning pages in a book, going back should not look the same as going forward.

  16. Bug - Audio files in Asset Library

    I am noticing that a good number of the default multimedia elements (audio files) are damaged that are included with the new version of Captivate. How do I open a ticket to have this investigated and resolved? When attempting to use various media files (not all however), I get the following message: "Audio Import Failed. Unable to import the audio file. Ensure that the file type is either MP3 or WAV. Also ensure that the file is not damaged."

    Again, these are the included default files in the Asset Audio library (not my own or other that I am importing).

  17. Allow customization of checkmark inside selected checkboxes

    I appreciate that I can customize the fill color of a selected checkbox, but I cannot change the color of the checkmark that appears. In the uploaded example image, I made the fill for the box dark green to match branding, but I cannot make the checkmark appear white or light grey to make it visible on the dark fill color.

  18. Importing OAMs

    Due to the 'renewed' terminology the word Animation is now used for the former Effects. However you'll never have the power of real animation tools in Captivate. I used to import OAMs created in Animate, and animated GIFs created either in Photoshop or in Animate. Please give use that feature back!

  19. Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate

    360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

  20. Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection

    Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.

    So the company CI must be fully applicable.

    Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.
