Save Button
I would like to suggest a save button be physically present on the toolbar to make saving easy but also as a reminder to users to press it frequently.
32 votesHi All,
We are considering autosave feature. We already have ctrl+s to save the project.
Please let me know in case autosave feature will be more feasible rather than having save button on the top.

Change default formatting for objects
Unless I am missing something, there doesn't appear to be any way to change the default formatting for objects like Highlight boxes, Instruction boxes, etc. Or, to easily create multiple slides with consistant font formatting without manually choosing the same Preset (or custom preset). The Copy Appearance feature is not an acceptable replacement for that ability. I don't want to have to click dozens or hundreds of objects to copy formatting.

I hate the layout
I feel my hands are tied with this new version like something microsoft would make. You should have an advanced button that you have more control than a bunch of templates that you can hardly manipulate. Additionally, I'm surprised that you can't import your old work and have to use the classic version which will no longer exist after 2027. Its pointless to use the classic version so I will have to totally rebuild all my training programs. I don't know whos brain child this was but a total mess. Also the tutorials are awful get someone you can understand…

Increase processing speed
I have found the application to be very slow in processing clicks. I am finding that I need to click or double click multiple times to get the application to respond. I am on a corporate network, not a dial-up, so I know it's not on my end.

Issue: Buttons, fonts, colors must be set before production
Buttons, fonts, colors set in the design must be set before starting the project, otherwise they are not updated. Can this be changed, so any later changes during production would be updated directly in all assets and presets.

{Bug} Random duplication of variables
I created 5 variables to test out the new variable system. I created these variables on a single slide and assigned them to buttons.
I then began programming advanced actions with the buttons on the same slide and I realized there was an entire list of duplicated variables all from the initial 5 that were created.
I did not duplicate the buttons on this slide, nor did I duplicate the slide itself.
- The variables couldnt be deleted until I saved the file and reopened it.

Support for Captivate on MacOS Sonoma
It's about time to get Captivate ready for the MacOS 14 Sonoma. In the Syestem Requirements it still says: "Note: Captivate isn't yet supported on Sonoma."

Zooming in should keep focus on selected item
This is an old pain inherited from previous versions. Default view percentage is 'Best Fit' which is great. But when increasing the percentage to focus on a detail (like a button) I tend to select that item first, and expect by zooming in that the selected item is kept in focus. That used to be the case until version 8 or 9, but was also lost in CP2019. It is very frustrating.

Course loading progress indicator.......
When a user starts a course, it would be helpful to show a loading progress indicator in the browser to show that the course is loading. In Captivate 12, there is only a blank screen. There is nothing to show the user that is something is happening until the course finally loads and is displayed.
I have attached 2 files.
1. Captivate2019 which shows the loading progress indicator
2. Captivate12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.2 votes -
Ability to undock panels.
Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

responsive design - Complaint:
I find it incredibly irritating that I can’t create my eLearning content in a non-responsive format. Transitioning to the new Captivate has been difficult, especially when it comes to using my own templates. I struggle with placing titles and buttons where I want them.
Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on creating custom templates. I’ve searched for videos on this topic, but most only showcase the default themes in Captivate. A tutorial specifically focused on custom templates would be extremely helpful.
Furthermore, the Table of Contents needs to be updated to allow for the addition of brand colors and fonts, as…

Incorporate ability to add two more blocks side-by-side by adjusting the block width.
Ability to add two or more blocks side-by-side by allowing to adjust the width of the blocks. This will help when navigation buttons or similar small elements are to be placed by the side of a text or other content blocks.
