Simplify Quiz design
The ability to remove the quiz feedback captions. In 2019 you can drag them away from the slide to hide them. "Submit All" simplify the process for a range of quiz questions. Allow the selections of buttons that meets the design requirement. such as just a "back" and "next" button on each slide to navigate through the quiz. On the final quiz slide show the "Submit All" button to submit all the answers in one go.

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 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 votes -
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.

Bug- Mac Users Have Different Text
When I create trainings, they work just as expected on Windows but if someone on a Mac opens it the text turns into a different font and is not matching my company branding as I designed it to.

Personal Asset Library + Personal Presets
I use Captivate and Camtasia. Camtasia has a personal asset library you can build out yourself. Like if you customize a certain effect you can save it as a preset but also if you upload an asset you can save it in your library for future use. Both of these features would be really helpful and save me a lot of time.

Object alignment against slide
Provide suggested alignment against slide when moving objects so that object aligns with slide and is not off-center if not desired.
Here you can see that the ppt import imported the black box, but did not align to the slide in a central manner so the box is partially off of the slide. Need to be able to center box against the slide.

feedback caption missing
I have a MCQ slide with multiple answers. If I do not select enough answers, but the ones that I do select are correct, there is no feedback caption shown. It moves straight to the next slide.
eg.
my MCQ has 5 possible answers
of those 5 answers, 3 are correct
when answering the question, if i only select 1 or 2 correct answers and nothing else, the feedback caption does not show.1 vote -
Allow you to mute project audio on specific slides
When I add background audio to the entire project I cannot stop it from playing on slides that have a video or video grid so you get the music and the video audio. The only way to get around this is to remove the background audio completely. Would be nice to add a feature in the audio tab on the slide to stop the music from playing entirely just on that slide.

The new Adobe Captivate version lacks the ability to restrict the video seekbar—a key feature for ensuring learner engagement and compliance in eLearning. In many training scenarios, it's important to prevent users from skipping ahead or fast-forwarding through video content. Ideally, the seekbar should be locked until the video has been watched completely. Once the video is fully viewed, users can then be allowed to fast-forward or rewind for review purposes. This functionality was available in Adobe Captivate Classic and is essential for maintaining the integrity of learning paths. Please consider adding this feature to the new version to support…

The new Adobe Captivate version lacks a critical feature for eLearning: the ability to restrict the Table of Contents (TOC) and Playbar navigation. In effective eLearning design, it's essential to control access to the TOC and the Next button to ensure learners fully complete each slide before progressing. This functionality was available in Adobe Captivate Classic and is a must-have for tracking learner engagement and completion. Please consider reintroducing this restriction feature in future updates.

When the Tabs widget loses focus, the selected tab is no longer highlighted. The active state should remain visible so users don’t lose orientation.

This program is unusable in its current state.
This program is unusable. Assets do not load, especially if you already have a system image loaded. Click to reveal does not work if you change image, or any settings (Something went wrong), Accordion crashes, you can't change image size so even if you have a small image it shows up huge in the slide. Hot spots, image is small and you can only size if horizontally. Slides and pictures resize from the editor to the preview. Its just ongoing. Unless you have a very simple course and you dont want to use widgets this program is basically useless. Going…

have the hand cursor an option you can turn off like in classic
Hide the hand (cursor) when hovering over the hotspot so I can create a "find the error by clicking on it" type of knowledge check without the hand cursor giving away the location of the right answer.

Fix the TOC Drag and Drop Grouping Feature
We are experiencing inconsistent performance with the TOC editability. It often crashes or does not work. Specifically, when trying to drag slides into groups, we are not able to drop the slide into the group. We also experience crashing occasionally when trying to rename items in the table of contents. We have gotten it to work in one project, but are having inconsistent results with other projects.
