BUG REPORT- Assets not all loading, errors and broken image icon
After updating to 13, all of my built in video assets are broken/Missing. Most of the available audio clips do not allow for play preview and if you try to attach them to the slide there is an Audio Import Error pop up.

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…

Report to LMS > Interaction ID Number Customization
It would be very helpful if we could set preferences that allow for customized naming convention for Interaction IDs that are shared with our LMS. Currently, we have to rename them each manually which is doable but costs a good deal of time. I would love it if in project settings I could configure a sequenced naming convention for scored items to follow. For instance, rather than the default three to four digits, configuring Interaction IDs to be named, LeadQ1, for a unit on leadership would be amazing. In this example, the '1' would increment as more scorable…

Upgrading to Captivate 13 has broken the 'download background image' function for software sims.
I used this function regularly before but when I upgraded to Captivate 13 trying to use this function now just haywires Captivate out. After clicking this button I am unable to change slides or save my progress, forcing me to just force close and restart Captivate.

Bug: FMR audio glitches
Audio in FMR slides sometimes doesn't play; sometimes it sounds stretched and low pitched.

Bug: Consolidating different simulations into a single file swaps FMR videos
Because Captivate constantly crashes during the recording of simulations, I've decided to record shorter simulations and then consolidate them into a single file. The problem is, especially for FMR slides, the video is getting swapped — i.e., the audio is correct for that slide, but the video shown in the preview (and the SCORM output) is from a different slide. Captivate, however, shows the video as if everything were fine, so there is really no way fix it because for Captivate it's not broken.

Bug: Recording simulations as a demo, a training, and an assessment at the same time doesn't usually work
When recording is finished, at least one of them crashes.

Allow autoplay of simulations
Setting the course to autoplay doesn't work on courses that are only simulations. If that is by design, it should be made clearer.

Bug: "Apply appearance" is only partial
When copying the appearance between instruction boxes, only certain aspects of the boxes are copied (such as border and background colour) while others are not (font face and box corner radius).

Bug: Layer blur area under instructions
I have instructions and a blur area in my simulation, and if I move them to the same place the blur area covers the instructions. What would be the point of having instructions if I wanted them blurred? I can't think of a case where one wouldn't want the instructions to be on top of the blur area.

Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate
When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

Review rendering of transparent background images
Transparent images in PNG or SVG format when used as background are showing a thin line like it was being tiled, even if the tile option is not selected.
In the example attached, I have a simple SVG with an angled corner used as background, and on the bottom-right corner it displays a line of the same colour.
The same happens with PNG images.

[Bug] Parent slide scrolls while overlay slide is active and scrolling
Version: 13.0
Problem:
When an overlay slide is opened and the parent slide is taller than the viewport, both the parent slide and the overlay slide scroll simultaneously when the overlay content is scrolled. This causes the user to lose focus on the overlay and disrupts the intended user experience.Consequences:
- Confusing focus shifts between the parent slide and the overlay slide
- Weakened UX for dialogs and lightbox content
- Accessibility issues, especially for keyboard navigationSuggestion:
- The parent slide should not scroll while the overlay slide is active and being scrolled.
- Only the overlay slide…1 vote -
[Feature] Overlay slides should be fully customizable
Version: 13.0
Problem:
Overlay slides currently receive several automatic CSS properties that cannot be controlled:
- Padding on.cp-overlay-slide
- Padding on.cp-overlay-slide .cp-slide-wrapper
-min-heightvalues
-box-shadoweffectsThese defaults make it difficult to integrate overlays consistently into existing designs.
Suggestion:
Overlay slides should be customizable just like normal slides and appear exactly the same within the parent slide. Effects such as blur, box-shadow, etc. should be optional and configurable via the GUI.1 vote -
I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13
I am unable to export text-to-speech audio from Captivate. This was a problem for us in Captivate 12 and continues to be a problem with 13. I attended the Adobe Learning Summit and spoke to the developers about it, but have not received a resolution.

Crashing during AI Avatar
I have had a couple of attempts to create an AI Avatar for an imported PowerPoint. I was recording for YouTube at the time, submitted the crash using the crash report but thought it might be beneficial to see what I was doing at the time.

[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:

- Inconsistent results between editor preview and actual output
- Paragraph styles cannot be reliably overridden

[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.1 vote
