  1. Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox

    I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

  2. Enable changing order of carousel objects without remaking them.

    In the carousel widget (and others like it, such as flip card), allow reordering of elements without completely remaking them, perhaps with drag-and-drop.

  3. A more rodust video player without the need of the video slide.

    With the amount of video training and the vast need for playing video libraries inside menus, I would love to see a Video Player, like the existing one, but with capabilities like:
    Turn on/off closed captions from the button
    The ability to select bookmarks/chapters from the player.
    I know some of this can be accomplished from the video slide, but it will be better if it is done from the actual video player. A more robust video player with more options. More like a YouTube experience when young learners can identify better in the video section.

  4. rewind audio or jump to bookmark

    I want a user to be able to partially rewind the audio of a slide they were listening, without having to go back to the very beginning of the slide. They should be able to move back and forth, just like I can do in development mode, Captivate Classic, in a YouTube video, or like almost any audio/video player. Related to this, I would like to have a "Go to bookmark" action to go to a particular bookmark in the current (or other) slide. If the audio for a slide is long, it is very inconvenient to listen to go…

  5. Increase number of items allowed on Timeline widget

    Please allow us to add more than 6 items/nodes to the timeline widget. An upper limit of 10-20 items on the timeline widget would be more reasonable. I understand that space may be limited with some of the current design options, but changes could be made to accommodate more items on the timeline.

    For example, the design for the horizontal timeline could have a scroll arrow added to the screen, to allow users to scroll left and right and see further down the timeline. Alternatively, the design could be modified (or a new design added) to use a dedicated location…

  7. LMS Score Report

    Create a report like in Classic where I can see which slides/objects are reporting a score to the LMS. Sometimes you create a slide with a reportable score, then you duplicate it with the reportable score, and then forget to remove. Hard to keep track. Also show the score values so I can make sure the scores total correctly in my project.

  9. Enabling a border around click boxes

    Having a border option available around a click box would greatly help when trying to draw the attention of a learner.

    Currently my only workaround is to create a highlight box, add a border to that, then place the click box over the top of it.

    Having to do this needlessly doubles up steps needed for a slide.

  10. Why can't you choose 1 image? The button icon shows a layout that you can not achieve.

    If you look at the WIDGET to add - it shows an image on the left, and copy on the right. The Design option does not allow for 1 image. I want 1 Image and copy to the left like the widget. Please fix!!!!

  11. Text block

    When long passages of text in a text block are included and you want to change or add something, the cursor jumps every time to the end of the text even though I clicked at the top. I then always have to scroll back up. The text should not jump every time I clicked inside or outside of the text block.

  12. retain initial closed caption text for text to speech

    If I navigate to another slide while typing up my closed captions for text to speech, I lose all the input text unless I generate the audio. It would be nice if the captions were to retain themselves for when I return to that slide.

  13. Splash Screen on Startup Covers Everything on My Computer

    In most other Adobe Apps, the splash screen on start up (the loading screen with artwork) will pop up, and I am able to look at other things on my computer while it's loading. For some reason, Captivate's splash screen is automatically layered on top of everything else on my computer, so I have to sit and wait for Captivate to slowly start before I can do anything.

    It would be great if the splash screen behaved the way it does in other Adobe Applications. Thanks!

  14. Close Project without closing application (And be able to clear cache without active projects open)

    Currently when I close a project it automatically ends the entire Captivate Application. This is normally useful, but sometimes I want to close a project and then open another one immediately, rather than having 2 open at once (2 giant captivate projects open at once makes my computer run very slowly). Captivate takes a lot of time to completely reboot, so being able to go back to a 'Home Screen' would make it easier for me to edit quickly. Ideally it would be like Adobe Illustrator, where you can close a project and it will just show the start up…

  15. Allow us to change the color of a text hyperlink

    In earlier updates I was able to manually change the color of clickable text links so that it matched my client's branding. It would be nice to have control over how these look, and it would be exceptional if the appearance of text hyperlinks was something we could add to the theme editor.

    Not sure what changed, but now I have to explain to my clients that this functionality was somehow removed, and we have to deal with ugly purple links instead of sticking to our brand colors.

  16. Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.

    Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

  17. Bug Report: On a simulation slide, deleting an object such as a clickable box does not delete the interactions for that object

    There is a bug on the simulation slides in Captivate 12. If you add an additional click box, and interaction for that click box is automatically populated in the interactions pane. If you delete that click box, it is removed from the timeline, but the interaction remains. I have not yet found a way to delete the interaction.

  19. Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing

    The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.
