  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. Grouping

    I want the ability to group select multiple media blocks to quickly move or cut and paste to a different location. I tend to lose my place when transitioning between slides when cutting content from one slide to the next.

  18. Please add Advanced Interaction

    I use it to check items included in the quiz and all the URLs. It would be great if there was a window where you could see all the URLs associated with buttons, links, and actions. You could also update the URLs in that window. I spend many hours every year checking and updating URLs in my projects.

    If Adobe could have a URL forwarder for Captivate that we could use to maintain URLs outside of the LMS, it would be even better. I know that I can pay for a service like this, but it is cost prohibitive.

  19. Provide a more complete implementation of JavaScript that supports $.post to a php script

    In a Captivate 11 project, I have some JavaScript that I use to communicate with a php script on a web server. The php script receives information from the Captivate module via a JavaScript post command, and it subsequently updates a SQL database. This is non-functional in Captivate 12. It appears that the ability to call a post command is blocked or not implemented. Here is my post command in JavaScript (specifics replaced with asterisks).

    $.post('https://www.**********.com/insertexdata.php',{vcapModule:rptSystem, vcapDataElementText:modText, vcapComment:commentAction, vcapUsername:myStudentName, vservername:myServername, vusername:myUsername, vpassword:myPassword, vdbname:myDbname}, function() {});

    BUG!

    Assets panels again...

    When using the Assets panel, if you use the search field to find a template and choose to insert it, it never stops loading.

    Adobe Support has suggested scrolling down to find what you need, instead of searching for what you need. Not good enough. This bug needs to be fixed ASAP!

    The new Adobe Captivate looks a lot like an unfinished product, puts Adobe's reputation at risk. I use other Adobe products since 1994 and have never seen anything so inconsistent.
