Bug: Hotspots move when changing the window size
If you change the window size, the hotspots move away from their fixed positions. If you repeat this behaviour, the hotspots move further and further outwards until they are no longer accessible.

Allow easy reordering of objects for screen reader optimization
Currently we only have control over the tab order of active objects (buttons and links) in Tab Order; to change the order that items are read by a screen reader we have to rearrange the timeline order, which is extremely cumbersome for complex pages. Make this easier to edit so we can more efficiently develop accessible content for screen readers in Captivate

Bug: White screen instead of course
Randomly (probably 20% of the time) a blank white screen appears instead of courses built using new Captivate. This happens in our current LMS (Taleo), the LMS we are currently switching to (Workday), and SCORM Cloud. I've tested both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 3rd ed. using SCORM Cloud and received the same results as our LMS. I have the completion criteria set to Quiz is passed.
When the course does not load, this is the error displayed in Chrome Dev Tools:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'CPProjInit')
at main.chunk.js:1:1148493

language of the project
In the accessibility panel, we can select a language for each block. For now, it need to be changed manually for each block. It would be useful to select the language by default in the project settings. As I develop french content, I need to change manually each block language.

Separator block
A separator block should been available like in WordPress to add HR line, space.

Allow for full editing of the quiz captions
Currently, the font, text size, and text color of the captions on the quiz slides cannot be edited. Through Theme Editor, the caption backgrounds can be changed for success and error, but not for incomplete. The message content can be edited through Preferences, but there is no way to change the font, text size, and text color. This poses accessibility issues as there is often not enough contrast for these messages.

Feedback messages issues
Due to the deprecation of Themes there are no object styles for the Feedback messages on quizzes. They have terrible color combinations which make them unreadable. It is possible to edit the style of the Shape/Text when finding the Hide button next to the barely visible because dimmed 'Caption' option. However I didn't find a way to transfer the new styling to all the feedback messages in the project. Is that possible?

Bug: button action "Exit course" does not work in Prime/ALM/other LMS
This behaviour is known since Captivate 2019. I think some LMS developers decided to protect their LMS from beeing closed entirely by this one button inside one web-based training. There were reports back in 2018 about Captivate 2017 and 2019 from customers who closed the WBT and simultanously their whole LMS window. We had to attach our own Javascript to "Quit course" buttons on a regular basis for many differnt LMS to protect our users.
Great, if you could find a solution to be able to use this action at all.
Thank you for all your efforts with bugfixing. We…8 votes -

Set default ai voice
I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.

Make Images Exportable for External Editing
I can't find a way to edit an image from Captivate in Illustrator or Photoshop. I am being handed a Captivate file and not always all of the source files used to create it. It'd be really helpful to have a right click and 'Edit in Photoshop' option for when the graphic file is not available. This function exists in other Adobe products, please add it to the new Captivate.

Being able to copy and paste images
It would be helpful if images can be uploaded via copy/paste. Similar to how PowerPoint works, when an image is pasted onto a slide an image block is used. Also being able to copy images to reuse them without having to go through the file pathways to find the image source would help simplify and speed the process.

Overlay text over an image - image over image placement
It is nice to overlay images with texts. e.g. to number pictures or putting adding a text to a picture like the Smartforms in CPC.
Placing Text over a picture will help in several cases to have a better user guidance.
Additionally image over image might help too. E.g a printscreen of a software and putting 1. 2. 3 above the screen according to the audio instruction.7 votes -
Fix / make possible animated SVG files (as hotspot icons in hotspot widget)
It's possible to replace one hotspot icon in the hotspot widget with an animated SVG file (the file itself is animated, no captivate animation is used) and the animation works. However, if you try replacing more than one hotspot icon, the animation stops working (as shown in the attached GIFs).

allow two or more items to be selected on the timeline simultaneously
Only one item can be selected in the timeline at at time. There are times when I need to move 2+ items to the same location on the timeline. Allowing for multiple items in the timeline to be selected simultaneously ensures the timing is accurate and is more efficient.

Allow DIVs
As of now, you can select blocks that have two columns for text or an image on one side and text on the other....Just as in wordpress, you should allow DIVs to create columns or rows so we can divide a page into sections and then put whatever elements we want into each section. This is perfectly responsive and is used in a lot of web page development. It would give immeasurably more creativity for design!

Align slide directions with direction of step being taken
When a user click in the forward direction it makes sense to have a default slide direction with the next slide coming from the right. But when they click in the backwards direction, it is visually confusing to have a previous slide arrive from the same (future) direction.
Like turning pages in a book, going back should not look the same as going forward.7 votes
