  1. Delay interactions by precise interval of time

    In Captivate Classic you could create an advanced action that was "delayed by" some duration. I would like to have that option in All-New.

  4. Ability to Import SRT File for Video Closed Captions

    Why do we have to manually enter closed captioning for the video slide? Or, have to figure out a work-around by 'baking' closed captioning into the original MP4 file? It would be great to have the ability to import the SRT file and attach it to a video slide (whether as an event video or synchronized). And turn on/off the closed captioning when desired.

  6. CSV

    Why do you not allow importing csv files for quizzes? I have 1000s of question and I have to manually input every single question? I will go w Thinkific solely for this reason. This new update is not helpful or useful and definitely not productive. I loved the old version.

  7. Button Disabled State is not working

    If I select the Button and show states, it shows a 'disabled' state, though it is grayed out and not selectable. If I use any action to set the button to disabled - the 'Normal' state is shown, though the button is not selectable (it does not have a hand icon and does not react to clicking it).

    Maybe I am not understanding how the disabled state works? Why can't I change the appearance, though there is a disabled 'state' when the button is set to disabled?

  8. Bug: Can't remove button text

    Select any button that contains text. Double-click / highlight the text and press DELETE or otherwise attempt to delete the text. Click off the button. Text returns. The only way to remove text from the buttons - but it affects the size of the button and isn't the desired solution here - is to uncheck the text option in properties

  9. allow people to add custom voices for text to speech.

    Allow users to add custom voices for text to speech. Also, when you have to break a sentence up, the program adds a space of blank air, making it awkward.

  10. undo button on drag and drops

    the reset button is great but an undo option to undo the last thing you moved would be very helpful so you dont have to begin the interaction from the start.

  11. Customize Default Preset

    In all previous releases of Captivate it was possible to define another object style as Default. In this version it is impossible to set another Preset as default. That creates a lot of extra clicking when you want to use the same Preset consistently throughout a project. For texts you can edit the default style, but for other Presets like images that is not possible.

  12. Software simulation settings should be sticky

    In 2019, when you created a software simulation it remembered size, location on screen and other settings. Now, each time I create a simulation, it asks me for the same details. This means if I have forgotten to take a screen or series of actions, the capture area is not in the same place. This means a lot of messing around to get the capture lining up with the software window. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, please remember the tracking setting! I don't want or need automatic tracking, so having it reset each time is irritating.

  13. Block for "previous" and "next" buttons in Interactions.

    Create a block for previous and next buttons that can be added to any slide. This appears along with the widgets, but a fast way to add that same design to any slide would be great. Currently you have to create 2 buttons and the change the design as well as program the 2 buttons.

  14. adaptive simulation

    either make the simulation adaptive to mobile like the rest of the projects or remove the requirement for all projects to be responsive. Simulation doesn't on mobile screen and scrolling over is not helpful.

  15. Add scrolling text boxes

    When my slide layouts are fixed, sometimes my text exceeds what can fit in the defined boundaries. I need to be able to have scrolling text boxes, so the rest of the slide stays static, but I can scroll through the text that is too long for the box.

  16. Button States not updating - Even on publish

    As the title says - Button states wont update even on publish. The file reflects the changes to the button state, but the publish is showing old text and wont reflect the actual change that's in the file

  17. Bug - Training and Assessment Simulations - Typing Text

    I've created a software simulation in Captivate 12 for Microsoft Word in which the learner starts by typing the text
    =lorem(4,8)
    When I run the training or assessment and type in the text above, it fails. I checked the Input Text field in Captivate and saw that it had ignored the fact that I had held down the Shift key to create the parentheses and so it was waiting for me to type: =lorem98,40
    This needs to be fixed!

  19. Animation on a block

    It would be a time saver to be able to add an animation to a block. For now, only components of a block can have animation.

    For example, if a block have a background, the block can't be animated.

  20. Bug - Shortcut to move blocks

    It would be helpful to move bocks with the arrow up and down. As a default shortcut, it could be Alt+UP and ALT+Down. The drag and drop feature is not always efficient.
