  2. Improve the inspector interface by using features similar to other adobe products

    All other adobe CC products have a small arrow button interface to allow pixel increments in measurements for everything, including using the scroll wheel in the mouse to increase or decrease numbers. Captivate interface could have the same, with immediate response in the results for precise checking. Typing numbers sometimes seem to be time consuming, especially when you want to change small increases/decreases on different fields.

  3. Adjust slide appearance for imported question pools

    I have a comprehensive exam with 17 question pools and 350 total questions. When you import into a question pool, Captivate does not use a master slide. There is no way to adjust the Correct and Incorrect states font and text color for all the question slides in a pool. If there was a master slide associated with the imported pool, the appearance of those states could be edited in the master and applied to all the questions in the pool. Alternatively, allow states to be copied and applied to an entire question pool or to all selected slides.

  4. add the ability to add audio to widgets/tabs or custom interactions to their buttons

    widgets do not allow different audio on different tabs or custom interactions when the buttons are pressed. Example: a carousel with steps on different tabs should play audio for step 1 when viewing step 1, on clicking step 2, i want to hear audio for step 2 and so on. For hotspot buttons, young learners, should be able to hear the name of each part separately when they click on the different parts. on click interaction for hotspot buttons, carousel, and all widgets will make them more usable.

  5. Create a java script or interaction that will rewind audio. When attaching audio to a slide, the learner cannot rewind the audio.

    Currently, it is possible to use JavaScript to create a button to rewind video files within the captivate project, however, there is no similar functionality available for audio files attached to slides. This limitation impacts the learner's ability to revisit specific parts of the audio content.

    I recommend adding an option under the interactions section or as part of the timeline settings that enables users to rewind audio attached to a slide. This feature could allow creators to configure rewind increments of 5, 10, and/or 15 seconds(or provide custom intervals). This functionality would make it easier to review the content…

  6. Click Box fail message does not allow you to remove text when an image is used

    If you select an image as a click box fail state, you can not delete the text in the box so it has no text at all. Any attempt to remove the text, defaults it back when I click out of the failed message box. I don't always need text.

  7. SCORMCloud

    In Adobe Captivate Classic there was an extremely useful feature that allowed you to preview courses in SCORMCloud. Not only was this useful for testing, but it could also assist in confirming that interactive data was being reported on. I would very much appreciate this feature being reintroduced into Captivate 12.

  9. add layering text on top of images and images on top of text.

    I wanted to layer text on top of an image but for the text be more formatted to the right of the image. Even with the workaround and padding, I cannot get my text to the far right of the image.

  10. CSV import - numerical character issue

    Can't import CSV files if any of the cells START with numerical characters. In order for the import to work, I have to add alphabetical characters in front of the numerical ones. I then have to go clean up the quiz questions in Captivate and remove those letters. It's time consuming and allows for unnecessary errors.

  11. Open URL or File Incompatible with Share for Review

    When I have buttons that open a PDF file using the Open URL or File action, my PDF isn't published with Share for Review. This adds steps to my Share for Review workflow that I prefer I would not have to do.

  12. Out of tries message on results slide

    The results slide only shows feedback for success or failure. Since you can limit the number of attempts a student can try the quiz, I would like to have an Out of Tries type message that would be triggered when the student has used up their attempts and failed the last attempt at the quiz. This way, I can write something like please see your supervisor for the next steps. I have a workaround, but I always prefer Adobe Captivate to have the built-in functionality. It makes development much more effortless. Here is the workaround: https://youtu.be/6Z-bU8DXlu4

  13. Restrict Navigation until Slide End

    Many stakeholders request that navigation be turned off until the slide/audio completes, i.e., forced navigation. In order to accomplish this currently, I have to either create my own navigation buttons or hide the playbar upon slide enter and show it at the end of the slide. The latter option isn't feasible because users can no longer toggle closed caption on/off while audio is playing. Both workaround options are time consuming.

    I propose adding a feature that allows the developer to disable only the forward button (not the entire playbar) until the slide audio completes.

  15. buttons stacked?

    It's nice to have 10 buttons in one block now in Cp 12.4, but why can't I stack them vertically? If I want several buttons underneath each other, I still have to add one block per one button. Very time consuming and unnecessary.

  16. Next Slide or Go To Slide will transition to slide starting at the bottom of the content rather than the top

    I am using a custom button to advance to the next slide or go to another slide with "none" transition/animation. When you click the button, the next slide starts at the bottom of the content, rather than starting at the top (beginning) of the next slide. It is important to note that these slides have some scrolling as the content doesn't fit within the regular slide dimensions and vertical length is a bit longer. Please see attached video example.

  17. Add an Advanced Actions Description Field
