  1. Alignment panel does not have any alignment options.

    As the title says, the alignment and spacing panel does not actually show any alignment options. It only gives padding options.

  2. Hotspots should have a "Close" or "X" button

    Hotspots should have a "Close" or "X" button to allow closing the overlay box, instead of having to click on the hotspot again to continue navigating, especially when the overlay falls on the top of another hotspot. Clicking again on the hotspot to close it is not intuitive.

  3. allow us to change the default keyboard shortcuts

    There is a bug with the play/pause function. Clicking pause on the on-screen keyboard does not work. Remapping keys in powertoys does not work. None of the key combinations involving the Fn key work.

    A lot of keyboards don't have a pause/break button, so we need a way to map that to a different key. It's also better for workflow because we don't have to move our hands as much.

    Also, F11 still works even though the documentation does not mention it.

  5. Fix Captivate (new - 13.1) launch screen to be accessible at different text sizes.

    I updated to 13.1 yesterday, hoping to be able to adjust the reading order in a classic project. Installed the new version and noticed that things didn't fit in the launch screen and were getting cut off. I clicked the Import button and selected the Captivate Classic option. The popup opened, but the image extended and was cut off at the bottom of the screen, and I was missing the Learn more link and the Continue button. There's no option to scroll or resize anything in the Launch screen, nor can you resize the launch screen itself. My colleague tried…

  6. This new version is no where compare to Classic Captivate and now voted suggestion may take decade to be par with CPC

    A new version should retain all the features of the old one while also introducing meaningful enhancements. However, the new CP still falls far short of CPC. The development team may not fully understand which CPC features users rely on, and some basic options have been removed entirely. For example, adding a simple text box now requires inserting an entire block, with limited editing options that are locked within a group. In addition, the new CP crashes too often. If every missing feature must go through a suggestion and voting process before the development team prioritizes it, it could take…

  7. Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation

    I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

  9. During import, some Classic slides don't import or import with nothing on them.

    During import, some Classic slides don't import or seemingly import with nothing on them. This is most likely due to unsupported objects on the Classic slides. It would be nice if at least a truly blank slide was created with the slide name of the "deleted" slides, so we know that we need to recreate that slide and can do so immediately. On empty imported slides that had unsupported objects, it appears that we cannot preview the lesson with these. In fact, when we try to edit the slide, the lesson often freezes and closes. So, the current fix is…

  10. Remove credentialless ="true"> from HTML code in publish for Cp 13

    Web objects from inside our organization do not work because we set a cookie to authenticate and Captivate 13 embeds an HTML code 'credentialless ="true" which prevents the cookie for authentication. This was not a problem in Captivate Classic. We imbed a lot of video from both our enterprise streaming service and our LCMS but are now not able to do so with Cp 13. Please resolve!!

  11. Visible Scrolling Options for Continuous Scroll Slides and/or Projects

    It is not inherent to all learners that they need to scroll down to view more with slides or projects that continue beyond the screen view.

    For projects and/or slides that require the use of scrolling to view the entire slide or project, add a visibility that indicates the learner will need to scroll down to view the rest of the slide. Either a customizable scroll bar and/or up/down arrows that appear and remain visible for directing the learner during the training. Make it accessible for screen readers and keyboard only users.

  12. support for 4k monitors

    In the next update cycle, please allow the application to support 4K monitors (at the least). Application window cannot maximize to full screen without manually stretching and certain menus and settings are also inaccessible as a result. Right now, it feels like I'm stuck in "2000 and late."

  13. Save before closing

    Save Before Closing – “Ignorer” action in the French Version closes without saving
    In the French version, when the “Save before closing” window appears, it offers three options: Ignorer, Annuler, and Enregistrer. These labels are confusing.
    In French, “Ignorer” and “Annuler” both sound similar to Cancel. When we click “Ignorer”, we expect it to close the dialog box—just like Cancel—but instead it closes the project without saving.
    To avoid confusion, you should rename the "gnorer" button to “Ne pas enregistrer” (“Don’t save”), as it was in Captivate Classic.

  15. SUGGESTION: Table of Contents Enables Progressively

    It would be very helpful if the sections of the TOC were disabled (visible but greyed out) and only became active as users progressed through a module. This would allow for progression visibility but would prevent folks from jumping all over the place.

    Perhaps an added dropdown in the TOC editor called, 'Enable on Visit of Slide' then the dropdown options (slide number, previous slide, etc.)

    Thank you for your consideration.

  17. Set State on Input Field

    Sometimes we have the need to first have learners click on the correct field/region of a screen via click box, then we ask them to enter data into an Input field. In Captivate 12's current build, users must click on the field again to trigger the Active state for the Input field, even though they just selected the field on the previous slide via the click box.

    The result is an unnecessary additional click, and some frustration for learners who naturally think the field is immediately typeable.

    It would be wonderful if we could 'Set State' of an Input Field…

  19. slide video controls

    The Slide Video block needs to be rebuilt. What is expected is that this behave like an event video since this is how billions of users on You Tube et. al. interact with content on the web. Here is how it could work: Add video block to slide. Select Autofit height - video fills the block appropriately to project dimensions. Any additional blocks added to the slide should respect the autofit setting and not create an extended scroll. Furthermore, all of these settings should be respected in responsive design to each device (Desktop, Tablet, Phone). Lastly, the video should have…

  20. Export/Import Project content closed captions

    I have been experimenting with exporting and importing Project content and Closed Captions and have found that the process is not working as I would have expected. I opened one of the QSPs and started by exporting which resulting in the expected Word document. I made some small changes to the text and saved. I then begin the Import process and nothing seemed to have happened.
