  1. Animate Highlight Boxes

    The ability to add entrance, emphasis and exit animations to highlight boxes – exactly the same way Instruction boxes can be animated. Not sure why highlight boxes missed out on this feature when it's already there on instruction boxes???

  2. 12.3.0 Branching pointing not working properly

    I am using branching in 12.3.0 and it is not working properly. I have a button that I am using to advance to a next slide. When I preview the project, the button is navigating me the screen to the wrong slide even though it is pointing to the corrected on. I have inlcuded a screen recording that shows the interaction settings and the preveiw not working.

  3. report for quiz settings

    Recommend a report that shows all of the interactions that are set to 'include in quiz'.

    I'm using Captivate 12.3, and I accidentally clicked on some text boxes to 'include in quiz.' It was a lengthy process to click every single text box and button in my project to find the two random text boxes in my quiz totals.

  4. Captivate 12.3 Quiz Proceeding Error

    Captivate 12.3.0.12
    Quiz Proceeding Error -- I'm using branching in my project, and when completing a quiz question, the caption appears, and then the slide gets stuck and does not proceed. I've tried so many ways to troubleshoot this without avail. Please advise!

    Quiz settings:

    Graded
    Unlimited attempts
    On success, trigger is Click/tap > go to slide ____ and adjust variable +1

    I'm using Chrome, additionally I've tested this in edge and both browsers are up to date. The same error is occurring in my LMS for multiple users.

    If I delete the quiz question causing an error, the same…

  7. 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…

  8. 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!

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.)

  19. 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.

  20. ProjectLockTOC not functional

    That system variable used to be able to block all navigation by TOC. However when assigning the value True to it, the learner is still allowed to navigate to any slide.
