  1. There doesn't appear to be any way to add additional objects to a Software Simulation page

    There doesn't appear to be any way to add additional non-interactive objects to a Software Simulation page. It looks like you can only have one highlight box and as many Instructions as you like. But, there is no way to add other objects such as shapes, images, etc. Is this going to be available in a feature update?

  2. I just started testing the updated Captivate Classic. Why was the Preview next 5 slides removed?

    In the updated Captivate Classic, the Prevew next 5 Slides option is no longer in the Preview drop-down. Why was that removed? If I have 100 slides and I want to check the timings on slides 90-95, I don't want to preview the entire project and try to guess where to click to start my preview. I can't preview just one slide at a time if I am checking the timings when switching from one slide to another.

  3. External user feedback

    Just curious how I can share this project for reviews with external stakeholders. From my experience with Articulate 360; there are robust sharing features where the SME or other individuals can leave comments on the project. Is that feature available or in the development pipeline

  4. add a module for us to create a slide header/footer

    for the usual logo/couple of links menu (in my case, Main Menu and Glossary) make it a module that the user can apply and not a required slide format. As it is, the 'image' module is useless for this purpose.

  5. Fix Buggy Animations

    On an SVG object, I chose to apply an exit animation going to the right. It played correctly when scrubbing through the timeline and when clicking Test. When I previewed in the browser, the object slides off to the left (the opposite direction).
    I also applied an entrance animation to three SVG objects. I used the scale in option and I adjusted them to scale in one at a time on the timeline. This played as anticipated in the timeline. When I previewed in the browser, only the first two scaled in. The third popped in without animation.

  7. Insert Text Boxes

    The software simulation of Captivate 2023 doesn't seem to have as many options as Captivate 2019 had. E.g., inserting a text on a screen when it doesn't create one for you. This would be a great feature as this can create issues when this needs to be added where it hasn't been captured. I'm surprised with the new version, some of the 2019 features haven't automatically been copied across. Wouldn't this have been easier and then improve some of the options

    Most teachers design using PPT and PPTX, so does instructional designers. So it would be ideal if you could import PPT and PPTX files to Captivate.

  13. Responsive behavior for Background Image

    Allow a 'focal point' for images when they change sizes in Captivate projects

    Sharepoint pages do allow you to set the 'focus' of an image for when the portal changes size, it lets the author have some control over how the item is shown to users without having a ton of options to configure each time.

  14. Support multiple video playback control skins and features

    Captivate Classic provides support for multiple self-hiding video playback control skins, such as Halo and Corona. It also provides "Auto Play" and "Auto Rewind" features for video that is embedded in a slide. We would like to see these features added to Captivate 2023.

  15. Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.

    We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

  17. Correct flicker when using effects.

    Currently when you apply an entrance effect (ie. EaseIn Left or EaseIn Right) to an object in Adobe Captivate the object displays in the final position for a split second before beginning the effect.
    The desired outcome is to not see the object until the effect begins to fade the object in. If the effect begins at the 0 second mark on the timeline and the effect fades and eases in left, you shouldn't see it until it begins to fade in.
    This issue occurs when viewing the project in HTML 5.

    Playbar & Skin theme customization

    Customizable playbar including skin themes... Similar to the classic version - You shouldn't have to go into an older version to be able to customize items.
