  1. Issues with multiple languages

    To translate a course the new version has lost a lot of features which were available in CP2019:
    1. In CP2019 all used labels in Quizzes could be edited under the Quiz Preferences. Not only the Default labels, but also the Messages on the Score slide. Now some labels need to be translated using the Properties panel of the score slide.
    2. I hope the Export/Import of Prefrences will once be restored and will have all those labels, not only those in the reduced Preferences in New Captivate, A modern application, should even do this automatically.
    3. When CSV import…

  2. Buggy - Locking up & Unreliable

    Captivate locks up frequently on me. Most recently, it locked up during save. When I went back into the program, it no longer had my project listed. The appropriate file within my documents opens captivate, but locks it up with the eternal wait circle. My project at this point seems non-retrievable and will need to be redone. I have to force quit the program. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

  3. 12.2 Bug - App crashes when adding the Video SLIDE.

    When I try adding a VIDEO SLIDE or a the VIDEO PAGE from the MEDIA BLOCK the app closes. I am not adding the actual video. Just the slide.

  4. Allow customization of checkmark inside selected checkboxes

    I appreciate that I can customize the fill color of a selected checkbox, but I cannot change the color of the checkmark that appears. In the uploaded example image, I made the fill for the box dark green to match branding, but I cannot make the checkmark appear white or light grey to make it visible on the dark fill color.

  5. Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate

    360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

  6. Localisation quiz

    There has not been any improvement to the localisation of quiz and score slides, on the contrary. Translation of the Default labels still has to be done manually which is weird for a new app in this world of AI. Moreover since you cannot export the Preferences, Default labels anymore, you have to repeat that translation for each project.
    The Press 'Y' in the second step of the submit process should also be translated automatically when creating a project in another language than the language of Captivate.
    In a modern application I would expect a choice for the project language…

  7. Classes for simulation bubbles / Texts / Objects

    When editing simulation bubbles, every bubble needs to be adjusted one by one. There is the need for classes where I can set the design once and rollout these classes to every bubble in the simulation. Like in CPC the smartshapes objects and the format classes.

  8. Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection

    Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.

    So the company CI must be fully applicable.

    Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

  9. Keep Classic & Call this Something Else

    I've been using this software since 2006 and I'm in shock at how many critical features are missing in this version of the software. I'm not even sure how you can call this Captivate. Providing feedback here is is basically adding to the list of features we need that were already available in the Classic version. We need software that is not focused on responsive design. Keep Classic and call this something else.

  10. Bug - Simulation input field in timeline but not visible on slide

    Input field not accessible on the screen after closing/opening project. I can access via the timeline but cannot select it/move it on the screen. Shows on output when previewing.

  11. Timeline/Simulations - Show/Hide objects on slide

    When working on slides with multiple components (mostly for software simulations), it's helpful to be able to show/hide components on the slide. This is not referencing show/hiding on output. I see that option is available.

  12. Multiple failure captions

    Give back the multiple Failure captions for questions with multiple attempts. It used to be 3 in all older versions, but I wouldn't mind more than 3.
    Since the captions are now states in a multistate object. But is impossible to add states to this object and even if that was possible, there is no way to address that object with an interaction, since it is an embedded object without ID.
    Look at this workflow which I recently demonstrated for a user. The workflow with the failure captions works also in a responsive project with Fluid Boxes, but not in…

  14. Don't gray-out buttons when not disabled

    When a UI button has grayed-out text, the assumption is that the button is disabled and not able to be clicked. The states button is grayed out by default and yet it's still clickable. This does not conform to the expected use of this UI design. Don't gray out a button that is clickable.

  15. Allow users to create text-based tables

    The only text options are paragraph and column text. Tables can be made responsive, and are a much-needed piece of functionality.

  17. Review Quiz: why dimming?

    When reviewing the quiz, the answers remain dimmed like they are after submitting. Not very friendly for older eyes: light grey on a white background. If you use images as answers, a state is applied to them during Review, state which is not editable because I cannot even figure out which one it is. It looks like the original Hover state, but - since disable has no effect for that state - I always make it identical to the Normal state. Where is the state visibble in the Review mode?

  19. Click and holding playhead

    Part of my workflow in Cp11 was clicking and holding on the playhead to preview slide audio from that point on the timeline. I would love if this feature returned. It was very useful when working on the timing of objects on the timeline.
