Slide Customization
While the slide and widget templates are helpful, it would also be useful to allow for customization of blank slides. This allows the designer to create custom layouts much as Articulate Storyline does

Need an easy way to edit the visual elements of question and answer slides
In Captivate 13.0, the UI lets you change fonts, colors, and other elements associated with question and answer slides. However, when you preview or publish, these adjustments are overridden by the CSS in the pre-defined Design Options. You can spend a lot of time making design adjustments that don't do anything.
While there appears to be a tech support article regarding editing the Design Option CSS and JSON files, we should not have to work at that level to simply make a visual change.
Also, many of the Design Options do not meet WCAG standards for contrast and accessibility, including…

[Bug] `textProps.fontWeight` is ignored during rendering
Version: 13.0
Problem:
textPropsvalues such asfontWeightset indesignOption.jsonare displayed correctly in the Captivate UI, but are ignored in the final rendering and overridden by inline styles (e.g.,font-weight: normal;). OthertextProps(liketextAlign) work as expected.{ "tag": "slide-item-subtitle", "preset": "text-body-6", "customStyles": { "all": {} }, "customProperties": { "alignmentAndSpacing": {}, "textProps": { "fontWeight": "600", "textAlign": "center" } } },In the rendered output, inline styles appear such as:
font-weight: normal;Impact:
- Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output
- Paragraph styles cannot be reliably overridden
- UI feedback is misleading (shows correct…1 vote -

The new Adobe Captivate version does not allow placing objects in a custom order. It only supports drag-and-drop using predefined templates. For example, if we need to position titles, images, icons, or buttons freely on the slide, this flexibility is missing. Currently, all custom design options are limited, forcing us to use only what Captivate provides.

[Feature] Custom CSS as a first step toward an open widget architecture
Problem:
Widget styles can currently only be customized via designOptions.json. Many widget structure elements cannot be targeted or modified globally.Suggestion:
Add the ability to include a custom CSS file at the project or theme level. This stylesheet should allow global adjustments and overrides of Captivate’s core CSS.In the long term, Captivate could – similar to the Adapt Framework – offer an open widget system, where custom or modified widgets are possible. Custom CSS would be a useful, practical intermediate step that provides immediate benefits and paves the way toward a fully modular architecture.

The new Adobe Captivate version does not support adding custom navigation elements like in the Classic version. Currently, the header and footer only allow limited customization—such as displaying the course name, page number, and TOC. There is no option to globally add essential navigation buttons like Back, Next, Glossary, or Resources across the course design. This limitation significantly impacts the flexibility and user experience of eLearning modules. Please consider reintroducing the ability to create and apply custom navigation players, as available in Adobe Captivate Classic.

[Feature] Control visibility of Design Options in the GUI
Problem:
All Design Options currently appear automatically in the menu, including those that are only used within other Design Options.Suggestion:
Add a property indesignOption.json(e.g.,visible: false) to control the visibility of a Design Option, so internal options are not shown in the menu.1 vote -
[Feature] Custom placeholder text and images in `designOption.json`
Problem:
Currently, placeholder text and images in Design Options are fixed. When placing a design option, a default image and Lorem Ipsum text appear.Suggestion:
Allow defining custom placeholder text and images directly in thedesignOption.jsonfor each widget or slide element.{ "tag": "slide-item-image", "placeholder": "placeholder.png", "customStyles": { "all": { "imageContainerStyles": {} } } }Benefit:
- Designers immediately see the expected image size and proportions.
- Placeholder text can indicate the function of the text (“Headline”, “Subtext”, etc.).
- Increases consistency and standardization across slides and projects.1 vote -
Improve documentation for design options
The design options concept is the most powerful feature in Captivate 12 and the key to building custom layouts. However, documentation is very limited. It is often unclear which JSON properties are actually supported for each widget, and many entries defined in the JSON are not transformed by Captivate.
Suggested improvement:
- Provide an example.json file for every widget, showing all possible properties (“grammar”) of the design options.
- Especially for more complex widgets (accordion, tabs, carousel, etc.), this would help developers understand what can be customized.
- Include notes for properties that are not yet transformed but are planned…1 vote -
[Feature] Additional content wrapper for all design objects
Problem:
Currently,div.cp-widget-containerdirectly contains the widget elements.Suggestion:
It is recommended to introduce an additional content wrapper element belowdiv.cp-widget-containerfor all widgets (videos, text, images, quizzes, etc.). This new wrapper should hold the actual content and control its maximum width, while the outer container can still be used for full-width background styling.Benefits:
1. The existingdiv.cp-widget-containercan continue to provide full-width background styling (color, image, etc.), stretching across the entire slide.
2. The new inner wrapper (e.g.,div.cp-widget-container__inner) should hold the actual content and define a maximum content width to center and structure the layout consistently.…1 vote -
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.

Content width/Alignment % and title/text spacing should be the same for all blocks
An 80% width Image block is not the same width as an 80% Text block. It should align perfectly, but it doesn't (see image). I suppose I could adjust it with the new padding feature, but this really shouldn't be necessary. A certain % width should be the same for all blocks.
Also, the spacing between title and text is inconsistent. Maybe it's because an image block doesn't have body text, only Caption and Subtitle? But why?
Those basic details should be a given, it shouldn't be necessary to find workarounds, or fiddle with padding or line spacing to make…

Confusion with Design Options on Slide vs Blocks
The design options are confusing, especially since I think there is a lot of mismatch between what appears in the Design Option properties panel for the Slide vs the Block.
- Add a new Conversation Slide
- Look at the Design Options for that slide. There are four. The first (upper-left) has a green background. The second (upper-right) has the speech cards appear at the very bottom of the images.
- Click on the Block itself
- Look at the Design Options for the block. There are also four. I suspect the are supposed to completely correspond with the design options for the slide.…
