1. [Feature] Management of Custom Paragraph Styles in the Theme Editor

   Version: 13.0

   Problem:
   Custom Paragraph Styles can currently be created in the Captivate GUI, but:
   - they cannot be renamed or deleted,
   - they do not appear in the Theme Editor,
   - they are not manageable through the theme.json and customisations.json.

   This leads to cluttered style lists, inconsistent formatting across slides, and limits proper corporate design handling.

   Suggestion:
   - Enable full management of Custom Paragraph Styles:
   - Create in the Theme Editor
   - Rename
   - Delete
   - Expose and edit through theme.json and customisations.json

   Optional Enhancements:
   - Sorting styles
   - Grouping (e.g., Headings, Body Text, Labels)

   Benefits:
   - cleaner style governance
   - consistent branding
   - easier long-term maintenance
   - no accumulation of unused style entries

2. [Feature] Option for image container to grow with text in the “Image” Design Option

   Version: 12.6

   Problem:
   Currently, the image in the "Image" Design Option does not grow when the text block container-image-text increases in height. There is no setting in either the Captivate GUI or the designOption.json to scale the image vertically along with its content.
   In responsive layouts (e.g., hero sections, split layouts), this leads to unbalanced designs, awkward proportions, and unnecessary whitespace.
   See screenshots design-options_image-02.png and design-options_image-03.png.

   Suggestion:
   Add an optional setting that allows the image to:
   - grow vertically with the text container
   - maintain its aspect ratio (e.g., via object-fit)
   - adapt responsively to varying content heights
   - optionally use a min-height to prevent layout collapse

   These options should be configurable both in the GUI and in the designOption.json.

   Note:
   The behavior should remain optional. In some layouts, a fixed height is still desired — ideally configurable separately for each device (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile).
   See screenshot design-options_image-04.png

3. [Feature] Custom layout slides with freely configurable Design Options

   Problem:
   New content slides can currently only be created based on predefined layout categories (e.g., Comparison, Meet the Team). Each layout only allows importing a fixed set of Design Options defined in its associated designOption.json. Additional components cannot be added, which makes layouts unnecessarily rigid and difficult to adapt to custom design requirements or corporate branding.

   Example:
   Meet the Team only allows paragraph and image-grid. Adding an additional paragraph beneath the grid is not possible.

   {
     "type": "Meet the Team",
     "name": "$$name",
     "description": "$$description",
     "designOptionId": "LAYOUTS_MEET_THE_TEAM",
     "isDefault": false,
     "version": "1.0",
     "thumbnail": "thumbnail.png",
     "styles": [
        {
         "tag": "paragraph",
         "designOptionId": "MTT_PARAGRAPH_OPTION_1"
       },
       {
         "tag": "image-grid",
         "designOptionId": "IMAGE_GRID_MTT_OPTION_1"
       }
     ]
   }
   

   Suggestion:
   Enable support for custom layout slides, where the corresponding designOption.json can contain any components the author needs. This would allow instructional designers to create rich, reusable layout templates for both slide-based content and longpages.

4. Buttons in branding Footer

   The footer is a very common spot for custom navigation buttons. Why are buttons not an option in the footer?!?

   This should be an extremely simple fix. Just add the button functions to it.

6. [Feature] Allow variable references in `designOption.json` (extension of placeholder feature)

   Related:
   See also [Feature] Custom placeholder text and images in designOption.json (https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate/suggestions/50456811--feature-custom-placeholder-text-and-images-in-d)

   Problem:
   Currently, designOption.json supports neither placeholder text nor placeholder images. See related suggestion: https://captivate.uservoice.com/forums/939318-adobe-captivate/suggestions/50456811--feature-custom-placeholder-text-and-images-in-d

   Suggestion:
   Allow Captivate variables to be referenced in designOption.json. This would enable dynamic values such as author names, project titles, copyright notices, or other metadata to be automatically inserted into text fields.

   Example:
   json
{
"tag": "slide-item-body",
"placeholder": "© $$Project.Copyright$$ — $$Date.Year$$",
"customStyles": {
"all": {}
}
}

7. [Feature] Make Project Information available as system variables

   Problem:
   The metadata entered under Edit → Preferences → Project → Information (Author, Company, Email, Website, Copyright, Project Name, Description) is stored in the project settings but cannot be used dynamically within the project.

   Suggestion:
   Expose these fields as system variables so they can be reused throughout the project — for example, in headers, footers, or legal notices.

   Examples:
   $$Project.Author$$, $$Project.Company$$, $$Project.Copyright$$, etc.

   Additional useful metadata could include:
   $$Project.Version$$, $$Project.CreatedDate$$, $$Project.LastModifiedDate$$, $$Project.CreatedBy$$, $$Project.LastModifiedBy$$.

   This would enable centralized updates and more transparent project documentation — especially for collaborative or versioned workflows.

9. [Feature] Flexible Overlay System for Buttons, Links, and Slides

   Problem:
   Currently, overlays in Captivate can only be triggered via bookmarks, and each slide overlay can only be used once. Local, reusable overlays directly on the slide do not exist. This limits flexible interactions and reusable designs.

   Suggestion:
   - Trigger overlays via clicks on buttons, images, or text links, without using bookmarks.
   - Allow multiple uses of overlay slides, so standard popups can be used multiple times.
   - Custom/Local Overlays created and displayed directly on slides (similar to the "Click to Reveal" widget, but freely definable and reusable). Various types could be possible:
   - Dialog or info windows as overlays
   - Popovers / small info boxes that appear on click or mouseover

11. Object alignment against slide

    Provide suggested alignment against slide when moving objects so that object aligns with slide and is not off-center if not desired.

    Here you can see that the ppt import imported the black box, but did not align to the slide in a central manner so the box is partially off of the slide. Need to be able to center box against the slide.

14. SCORM Integrity Checks

    Publishing to SCORM can be tricky, and sometimes it can be difficult to figure out why a SCORM course is having issues. I propose adding integrity tools that check your project for common setup issues when SCORM is enabled. For example, if you set the setting so that a completion is getting a 90 on the quiz, and your total score does not add up to 90 points within your project, there is a problem. Perhaps you have 3 retries set, but you did not provide a button, set a setting, or have a path for them to retake the Quiz. Maybe you have it setup that a pass is when you watch 50% of the slides, but your branching is setup in a way that more than 50% of the slides can be skipped.

15. [Feature] Allow renaming of user-defined variables

    Currently, user-defined variables can only be renamed in the variable manager if they are not referenced in the project. Variables that are already in use cannot be renamed, which limits flexibility.

    Suggested improvement:
    Allow renaming of user-defined variables directly in the variable manager, with all references in the project being updated automatically.

16. Cache - should ask you to change your default locations instead of being duplicated

    There should be a contradiction in the place in the preferences, where it says 'clear cache' -- the two file save locations -- one is the file location of the .cpt file, and the other is the cache file location. these should NOT be the same, nor should it be an option to be saved in the same place.

    Why you ask?
    Because I had my HUGE module saved to the same location in both of these locations. I cleared my cache. Then... POOF, my entire module - GONE!. Up in smoke. Disappeared.

    Nothing told me I was deleting my entire module. Nothing warned me. Just 1 click, and its gone.

    Recommendation:
    -make it a contradiction so that people cannot save their .cpt file in the same file location as the cache folder
    -make it not possible to delete the project while clearing the cache.
    -implying that 'clear cache' is doing much more than just clearing cache, which is a normal every day thing we do to make things run smoother.

17. Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox

    I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

19. rewind audio or jump to bookmark

    I want a user to be able to partially rewind the audio of a slide they were listening, without having to go back to the very beginning of the slide. They should be able to move back and forth, just like I can do in development mode, Captivate Classic, in a YouTube video, or like almost any audio/video player. Related to this, I would like to have a "Go to bookmark" action to go to a particular bookmark in the current (or other) slide. If the audio for a slide is long, it is very inconvenient to listen to go all the way back to the start.
