  1. In-built states are missing from Captivate 12.2 [at least] for the Image Grid

    It's easies to look at this file (https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pwafpzqrnced/default/builtInStatesLost.cpt) for an example:
    - Slide 1 uses the Image Grid and the States for this grid are missing InBuilt states
    - Slide 2 was copied from an older version of Captivate 12 and includes the InBuilt states for the same widget

    NOTE: This page includes an In-Built States section, even though the InBuilt states are missing from the Image Grid Widget: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/help/states-adobe-captivate.html

  2. Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results.

    Add the option to have two quizzes for example a pretest and a posttest with two different results. This allows us to see what the learner knows before training and what they learned after training.

    When using a touchscreen device, a triple-tap shows the playbar even when playbar is disabled. Please allow an option to disable this function.

  4. Resizing bug

    I was using the demo to try to capture demo slides but the application itself would not resize. It cut tools off on the right side so the application became unusable If I used anything except for full screen. I cannot use this at all unfortunately :( No demo for me.
    This happened after doing a capture however once the bug appeared it just happened even opening the app without a project.

  5. Exporting not working

    The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

  6. Ensure that Captivate will still function with iCloud sync of the Documents folder enabled.

    Currently, if Mac users have iCloud sync of their Documents folder enabled, Captivate will not function properly. In particular, insertion of image blocks will fail with a message of “Something went wrong with content block insertion.” Users should not have to disable iCloud for Captivate to function.

  9. Navigation by TOC

    In all previous versions it was possible to control navigation by TOC. You could either choose to allow free navigation or navigation to visited slides. That very important feature which even could be an alternative for resume a session when not having access to a LMS (within limits with cookies) is completely lost.

  11. The ability to not have Black Bars on Video Slides when the video resizes

    When placing a slide video in on the "canvas" it would be good to not have the video have massive black bars at the top and bottom.

    Kind of makes the video aspect ration options irrelevant, when regardless of what you select there, the video has massive black bars on the top and bottom in a a 1:1 square

  12. Classic: Multi SCO Packager Classic not launching from menu

    Lauching the packager from File, New Project is not functional.
    However when finding the packager using All apps (Win11) and starting it with the shortcut key will show the Template choice.

  13. Ability to Import SRT File for Video Closed Captions

    Why do we have to manually enter closed captioning for the video slide? Or, have to figure out a work-around by 'baking' closed captioning into the original MP4 file? It would be great to have the ability to import the SRT file and attach it to a video slide (whether as an event video or synchronized). And turn on/off the closed captioning when desired.

  14. Open up the Bookmark-Overlay Option to include Graded Question Slides

    It would significantly add so much if the overlay pre-built question slide could be either a knowledge check or a graded quiz that is reportable to the LMS. Using this feature in a final assessment (rather than the Preliminary/Introduction/Review portion of an eLearning course) could add some much dimension to an eLearning Final Assessment.

    Drag and drop doesn't re-size correctly on smaller devices. If you use it on a smaller phone, you can't see the drag options, only the drop boxes.

  16. Add Closed Captions to pop up and object audio.

    Closed captions should be available to edit in bulk or easily in some way. There should also be a way to caption object and pop up sound to be fully 508 compliant.

  17. Add More Buttons. Need more than three (3) Built-In.

    Currently the BUTTONS option is only three (3) buttons - need more. Our Learners/Employees need forced navigation. We want to use the built-in Buttons, but three (3) will not work. Minimum of Five would work well.

  18. Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen

    To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
    https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
    This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
    Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
    Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.

  19. BUG Can't input Japanese

    When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
    You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.

  20. Navigation to bookmark on other slides doesn't work

    To replace Micro-navigation by using bookmarks, you can add a bookmark on another slide with Jump to Bookmark. However that is not functional because it always will play that other slide from the start instead of from the bookmark. If this functionality iis only possible for bookmarks on the same slide, the tab 'More Bookbmarks' should be dimmed, not available.
