  1. Software simulation settings should be sticky

    In 2019, when you created a software simulation it remembered size, location on screen and other settings. Now, each time I create a simulation, it asks me for the same details. This means if I have forgotten to take a screen or series of actions, the capture area is not in the same place. This means a lot of messing around to get the capture lining up with the software window. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, please remember the tracking setting! I don't want or need automatic tracking, so having it reset each time is irritating.

  3. adaptive simulation

    either make the simulation adaptive to mobile like the rest of the projects or remove the requirement for all projects to be responsive. Simulation doesn't on mobile screen and scrolling over is not helpful.

  5. Bug - Training and Assessment Simulations - Typing Text

    I've created a software simulation in Captivate 12 for Microsoft Word in which the learner starts by typing the text
    =lorem(4,8)
    When I run the training or assessment and type in the text above, it fails. I checked the Input Text field in Captivate and saw that it had ignored the fact that I had held down the Shift key to create the parentheses and so it was waiting for me to type: =lorem98,40
    This needs to be fixed!

  7. Languages for text to speech, windows language support.

    In Classic Captivate its possible to add text to speech support for languages supported from Microsoft Windows own (local) library. That feature would be much needed i guess for a lot of people, and could be considered a quick fix for massive language support instead of having a Captive Voices implementation.

  9. Animation on a block

    It would be a time saver to be able to add an animation to a block. For now, only components of a block can have animation.

    For example, if a block have a background, the block can't be animated.

  10. Bug - Shortcut to move blocks

    It would be helpful to move bocks with the arrow up and down. As a default shortcut, it could be Alt+UP and ALT+Down. The drag and drop feature is not always efficient.

  12. Allow for cropped views of cutout characters in Asset Store

    I was using the single and two-character media blocks and realized that I could not select a cropped view of the characters like I could in previous versions of Adobe Captivate. I know I can crop these images after but this was a nice feature.

  13. Bug - Short Answer question slide is broken if you include a quotation symbol " in your answer

    I had a short answer question where the answer was "1"=20'" and I kept getting a "Something Went Wong" error. After recreating the question several time, I eventually started going one character at a time to see if there was an issue with the answer. As soon as I removed the quote symbol the question began to function as intended.

  14. Feature request: quiz component missing

    Right now, including a working quiz is only possible by using a Quiz Slide. For one-page scrollable courses this somehow works by building it with components (paragraph, option box, button, reporting + including in quiz/points), but takes time and is limited.

    More options are missing to share points and set correct answers easily.

    It would be great to insert a “full quiz” interactive component, same as by inserting full quiz slides.

  15. Bug: "include in quiz" function does not send any points to LMS

    By unsing the "include in quiz" function with 1 point and setting export reporting to LMS to Quiz does not trigger any event in LMS. I noticed the setting "points for quiz" cannot be set to a number of points, just can be switched from points to percent.

  16. Delete unused items

    Deleting unused items keep the source files smaller and makes it efficient for the Captivate app to handle large projects. Please, bring back this useful feature from CP2019.
    In the attached image, you will notice the significant difference between the file with unused items and without those items.

  18. Add Ability to Lower Slide/Thumbnail Resolution to Improve Editing Time

    Currently the program is super slow, and it's frustrating sitting there waiting for thumbnails of slides to process before I can even click them. I wish there was a way we could lower the resolution of our slides/thumbnails (like how Adobe After Effects allows you to lower the resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 to enable faster editing).

    I don't need my slides and thumbnails to look perfectly crisp while editing and if they were lower resolution in the editor it might help me speed up my process.

    I use some animated GIFs as images, and in the thumbnails Captivate is…

  19. Playhead Not Accurate In Timeline

    This is especially noticeable when I've just added a new audio to the slide. I add the audio, press play on the timeline, and the playhead is frozen in place while the audio plays uncontrollably in the background. Eventually the playhead starts moving, but it's inaccurate. When the screen is frozen and the audio is playing, I have to just sit there and wait for the playhead to start moving. If I click anything before the playhead starts moving again, the program can crash or freeze.

    I've noticed the timeline is pretty inaccurate in general, and I have to time…

  20. 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.
