1. 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.

2. Scalable HTML-5 publish setting for non-responsive projects

   Currently, non-responsive projects in Captivate 13 do not have a publish setting (like Captivate Classic) for scalable HTML-5. This feature is very much needed as alot of your customers are still creating non-responsive projects with Captivate 13. This feature will also be needed when importing previous captivate classic non-responsive projects into Captivate 13 (feature is coming soon). Is a publish setting for scalable HTML-5 in the works already for non-responsive projects? If not this is a huge oversight and this feature needs to be incorporated as soon as possible.

3. Include the Captivate 2019 video playbar re-wind and forward function in Captivate 13.0

   Captivate 13.0 does not have video re-wind and forward functions. These functions are important for projects that require the learner to fully understand and confident in a process before moving on in the project. These missing functions are standard in video display

4. Add options like Double click and Right click for the Click boxes in simulation.

   I think what challenge we are facing now is, if I have added a Click Box manually to the simulation slide, it does not show options for Double click or Right click functionality. As I always reuse old simulation by just replacing screenshots, these click box functionality I need most. Currently in 13 version it only work with single left click for the Click boxes.

   I am adding an image that show the options for UI if you are going to add these functionalities

5. Fix the PowerPoint Import

   I have a PowerPoint presentation with graphics, text that is bolded and/or italicized, and line drawings.

   When I have Captivate import the presentation, it absolutely WRECKS bold or italicized texts within a sentence, and makes line drawings unintelligible.

   I have used Captivate as my tool of choice for years.
   I sat on my Fortune 500 company's evaluation team when the "new and improved" Captivate came out.
   WE DROPPED CAPTIVATE FROM USE because of poor functionality.

   Now I have my own company and do work for clients. I am evaluating Captivate for several new projects -- but I am not seeing a viable product right now.

   I have a couple more days of testing to do, so perhaps I will find a "nugget", but when I have to argue with a tool to get "somewhat" what I want, I will find another tool.

   Captivate WAS very intuitive and easy to use. It appears (and this was the consensus at my old company) that software engineers AND NOT INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS decided how the new Captivate "should" work, and built an engineer's version.

   Engineers SHOULD NOT design interface elements. (BTW, I am an engineer.) The END USER needs to tell us HOW the process works so that we can build a system that does that -- with GUIDANCE from users on the "whiz-bang widgets".

6. Bug - audio loading is delayed and then cuts off prematurely.

   We are having problems when we have slide-level audio. It does not begin playing at the beginning of the timeline for the slide (appears to be a loading delay) and then once it does load, the audio will cut off prematurely because the slide has reached the end of its timeline. We have been able to do a workaround with extending the duration of the slide by a significant amount and then placing a button on the slide that the user can push to advance to the next slide without having to wait for the timeline to complete, but this is an issue that should be corrected.

   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 to control TOC item visibility based on slide completion.

   Impact:
   This behavior allows learners to bypass essential content, which is not acceptable in any structured learning environment. Without this control, the new Adobe Captivate version is not suitable for compliance or mandatory training modules.
   Suggested Fix:
   Introduce a feature that:

   Allows TOC items to be enabled sequentially, based on slide or lesson completion.
   Provides a variable or toggle to manage TOC item visibility dynamically.

10. [Feature] Custom layout slides with freely configurable Design Options

    Problem:
    New content slides can currently only be created based on predefined layout categories (e.g., Comparison, Meet the Team). Each layout only allows importing a fixed set of Design Options defined in its associated designOption.json. Additional components cannot be added, which makes layouts unnecessarily rigid and difficult to adapt to custom design requirements or corporate branding.

    Example:
    Meet the Team only allows paragraph and image-grid. Adding an additional paragraph beneath the grid is not possible.

    {
      "type": "Meet the Team",
      "name": "$$name",
      "description": "$$description",
      "designOptionId": "LAYOUTS_MEET_THE_TEAM",
      "isDefault": false,
      "version": "1.0",
      "thumbnail": "thumbnail.png",
      "styles": [
         {
          "tag": "paragraph",
          "designOptionId": "MTT_PARAGRAPH_OPTION_1"
        },
        {
          "tag": "image-grid",
          "designOptionId": "IMAGE_GRID_MTT_OPTION_1"
        }
      ]
    }
    

    Suggestion:
    Enable support for custom layout slides, where the corresponding designOption.json can contain any components the author needs. This would allow instructional designers to create rich, reusable layout templates for both slide-based content and longpages.

11. [Feature] Option to automatically unflip inactive cards in the Cards Widget

    Problem:
    Currently, any card flipped in the Cards Widget remains active ("flipped") until it is clicked again. As a result, multiple cards can remain flipped simultaneously, which can be confusing in many learning scenarios.

    Suggestion:
    Add an option that controls this behavior: When a new card is flipped, the previously active card should automatically flip back to its front side.

    This setting should be configurable both in the GUI and designOption.json.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Export Project Content and Captions

    I have discovered that the Export project content and captions workflow is missing an important text component that should be corrected as soon as possible. The various feedback captions for question slides seem to be missing from the resulting Word document. I guess it would be considered a bug as this is a major omission for the software.

15. 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.

17. Accessibility Bug: Screen readers announce radio buttons incorrectly

    Two primary issues.

    1. If using the question slide template, the multiple choice questions always announce as a group of checkboxes with screen readers, even if they are radio buttons. The toggle between single answer and multiple answer changes the state visibly, but not programmatically.

    2. If using the Radio Group interactive component, the radio buttons correctly announce as radios, however, when navigating to the next radio option, the screen reader announces the previously selected option again in addition to the new option.

    Example:
    A radio group with options A, B and C.

    With JAWS or NVDA navigate to Option A, "Option A" announces. When navigating to Option B, "Option B, Option A" announces.

19. 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 actually running the animation which is insane and probably uses up so much of my computer's processing on something that doesn't even matter.

    Also, when you are making interactions and you want to select a certain slide to go to - you have to sit there and wait while all the full resolution thumbnails populate before you can click anything. I have projects with a LOT of slides, and I name them all to ensure organization. If I could change this to be a text-only view rather than sifting through thumbnails it could save me a lot of time. Thank you Captivate Team I appreciate your time.

20. 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 my bookmarks based on LOOKING at the audio wave file instead of relying on the timeline itself. The playhead/timeline is also incredibly SLOW and I have to be super careful not to click too many times, or the play button will literally disappear while the audio plays with the playhead not even moving. Or, the first time trying to play a slide with a new audio will cause all the elements on the slide to disapear and I have to click to another slide to refresh it and start editing it again.
