  1. 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."

  4. QWERTY compatibilty

    The Undo function is mapped to the AZERTY keyboard configuration instead of the QWERTY.
    Actually, the undo function is assigned to the CTRL+W shortcut instead of the CRTL+Z. Crtrl+Z close the project.

    It's really annoing, as the undo function is a convention on Ctrl+Z on all QWERTY keyboard. It's occus in the french version of the new Adobe Captivate.

  5. Lack of mobility in software.

    I want to like this software as a designer, but the fact that I cannot move things around, is a little upsetting. I believe if you make that change it would help designers out a lot.

  6. Check for update

    In Adobe Captivate, the only way to check the version and/or see if there is an update is to create a new project; or open a new project. It would be nice to be able to do the same in the home screen.

  7. 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. Captivate
    12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.

  8. 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…

  9. 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.

  10. Quick Start Projects in 12.3

    Some bugs:
    Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
    You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
    I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
    I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…

  11. Resizing bug

    I was using the demo to try to capture demo slides but the application itself would not resize. It cut tools off on the right side so the application became unusable If I used anything except for full screen. I cannot use this at all unfortunately :( No demo for me.
    This happened after doing a capture however once the bug appeared it just happened even opening the app without a project.

  15. Issue: online connection must always be maintained to avoid crashes

    Without staying online all the time, Captivate won't work reasonable. Is there any chance to work offline? It seems there is a sync to APIs all the time. In times of crashing internet access this leads to crashes and unlimited loading bar.

  16. 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…

  17. Bug: Asked to save changes when no changes were made

    When publishing a course as a SCORM file, an asterisk is added next to the file name indicating changes were made. When I try to close the file, it asks me to save my changes. What changes? I only published the course in a different format.

  18. [Feature] Grid and Visible Borders for Design Options

    Version: 13.0

    Problem:
    When working in Captivate, visual aids such as grids, borders, or width and height indicators are missing. Apart from the highlight shown when directly clicking a Design Option or on slide overflow, the positioning of elements is difficult to control – especially for complex layouts.

    Suggestion:
    - Visible borders for Design Options and their sub-elements, optionally toggleable.
    - Fully customizable background grid, similar to Adobe XD or Figma, for better layout orientation.
    - Display of width and height measurements for placed elements.

  19. Bug- Mac Users Have Different Text

    When I create trainings, they work just as expected on Windows but if someone on a Mac opens it the text turns into a different font and is not matching my company branding as I designed it to.
