  1. Make active slide easier to see

    Currently, on the Slide navigator, the outline or highlight that tells you which slide you are working on (active slide) is too thin and difficult to see. PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER to see the active slide on the list by applying a thicker bright color border around the active slide. See my attachment.

  2. Bring back the markup/editing tools in the new Captivate for iOS.

    I create elearning and I need all the boxes and arrows and text boxes that have disappeared from v12.5. I can't even HIDE a slide after I've recorded something in this version. If those tools are not coming back, please let us know. I will need to cancel my subscription and move to another creation tool.

  3. Add Title components to character blocks

    It would be nice to be able to add a title to the character block in order to keep a unified background. Currently, I have to add a text block above the character block which means an independent background.

  4. In All New Captivate - Simulation created should publish as scalable. Currently not scalable or responsive.

    With Captivate 12.5.0.35 Simulations created are not publishing scalable and are non responsive. Please make scalable publishing available (as in Classic).

  5. Allow Print Page action

    In some Adobe demo presentations that I downloaded from the templates page, it allows the user to fill out a simple form, then gives them a button to print a copy of the form. This is accomplished by using the Java Script call window.print();. I suggest adding a "print current page" option in the actions panel to avoid needing the Java Script call.

  6. Create an "on screen" interaction trigger

    In projects with scrolling, we should be able to add interactions to when a block enters the visible screen. For example, when a character block is scrolled to, animations could be added to the characters and audio for the specific block could begin playing.

  7. Objects click on widgets

    One thing that I would love to see is that when using a widget, 'Objects clicked' could be used on the elements to control bespoke designed navigation buttons.

    For instance, on the flipcard widget, it would be great to select each flipcard under 'Objects clicked' to control a NEXT button design purposely.

  9. Character Speech Card Shape - Does not adhere to timeline settings.

    I am trying to mimic an ongoing conversation between two characters. When I move the character speech card on the timeline to show at a specific point in the audio, the text shows at the correct point, but the speech shape shows the entire time. I tried to get past this by using show/hide settings in bookmarks, but because I am using multiple blocks on the slide and show/hide the content blocks, when I show the block, then hide the speech card, it shows on the slide for a brief moment then hides. It looks messy. If, I when I…

  10. Drag and drop with forced navigation option

    I design training for a healthcare system clinical competency. Part of this training involves instruction on proper placement of defibrillator pads. Placing defibrillator pads incorrectly can reduce the effectiveness of the shock and potentially lead to harm to the patient. I previously submitted Case ADB-36997462-K9H6, explaining that I had created a drag and drop to simulate the proper pad placement process. However, there currently is not forced navigation with drag and drop that would allow me to require the learner to select and place the first pad listed before they can place the second. Is there a possibility that your…

  13. Reinstate Timing panel for component animation

    Using the drag feature on the timeline to stagger entrances is not user-friendly at all. I'd really like to see the same usability we have in Classic, where you select a component and can fine-tune both the timing and animation in the same panel. These functions are linked 90% of the time, so there's no reason why you should have to go to different panels to design animation and component timing.

  14. Play head on timeline always jumps to the right side.

    When I want something to appear on the stage and in sync with the audio I use the timeline. However every time I play the time line it jumps to the far right and makes it difficult to see the time and when I want a paragraph to appear on the stage. If the play head is in the middle of the timeline and I press play it should play from the middle of the timeline. But it immediately jumps to the far right and then makes everything difficult to time things on the stage. All other applications I have…

  16. Add A "Set Focus" option to Button Actions

    If I do a validation check on a text box when the user clicks a "Continue" button I created, and the validation I have setup fails, I want to set focus back on to my text box, however there is no option to do that.

  17. Course Crashes when pasting formatted text into a text box

    I have a lesson on AI that asks the user to paste the results into the text box to verify they completed the task. When a user clicks the "Copy" button at the bottom of ChatGPT and tries to paste that into a Captivate textbox, the course crashes. The text box should only allow "plain text" to paste and remove any formatting - or add a rich text box which would allow for additional formatting to be pasted.

  18. Share for Review

    When Reviewing a shared lesson, the comments should have an indicator of where the comment is being made. If the slide has multiple media blocks or text blocks, the indicator will allow the reviewer to pinpoint where their recommendations should be made. The current method works only when commenting on the overall status of the slide, but if only some of the information needs to be corrected, the developer would need to search through all the content to find where the reviewer saw the mistake.

  19. Text formatting is off after importing translated caption and closed caption word file

    The import of translated caption and closed caption word file is not helping my purpose, as the font size, color and formatting are going off. Especially if I have a text box with two words in two different font size/style/color.

  20. Drag and Drop - Show the correct answers after last attempt.

    At present there is no option to show the correct answers or correct drop areas of the drop boxes. It is not always feasible to show them through text in feedback.
