WHAT'S NEW AND CHANGED IN THIS UPDATE
Release date: November 14, 2023
Adobe Captivate (12.2 update) features enhancements for simulation, images,
widgets, and native support for Apple Silicon. Additionally, the update includes
important bug fixes.
DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE
Visit the Captivate downloads page and try out the new update.
Topics in this page:
* Simulation workflow enhancements
* Image workflow enhancements
* Theme enhancements
* Widget enhancements
* Remove unused resources
* Overlay color in the Card widget
* Timeline widget enhancements
* Support for Universal macOS build
* Bug fixes in this update

SIMULATION WORKFLOW ENHANCEMENTS
Common components across all simulation types
Add more interactivity and engagement in your simulation projects by adding
Click Boxes, Mouse Pointer, Instructions, Highlight Boxes, and Input Fields on a
simulation slide.
For all simulation project types, Demo, Training, or Assessment, Captivate lets
you add the following components:
* Click Box
* Mouse Pointer
* Instructions
* Highlight Box
* Input Field
Download background images
As an author, when you create Demo, Training, or Assessment projects, you can
download a background image, edit the image to mask or remove sensitive
information, and replace the original image on the slide.
Download an image
Download all background images
You can also download all the background images to any location on your
computer.
Open any simulation project, and in the Project Properties panel, select
Download all to download the background images of the project.
Download all background images
Note:
The option to download all images is ONLY available for simulation projects.
For more information, view Record software simulations in Adobe Captivate.
IMAGE WORKFLOW ENHANCEMENTS
Edit the background image on a slide
We’ve enabled you to add an image as a background, apply filters, and change the
focal point of the images so the images appear on devices the way you want.
For more information, view Edit the background image on a slide.
Responsive behavior in images
As an author, you can set the focal point of background images on devices to
display the essential part of the image across devices.
An image's focal point is the specific area or element within the image that is
intended to be the primary point of visual interest or focus. It's the part of
the image that draws the viewer's attention and is typically the image's most
important or visually compelling aspect
For more information, view Add an image to your Captivate project.
Add responsive behavior to a background image in a widget or User Interface
Component
You can extend the responsive behavior of a background image in a widget or an
Interactive component. For example, in a Card widget, you can add a background
image, and in the Appearance section of the Visual Properties panel, you can
select the image’s responsive behavior in the Image focus dropdown.
THEME ENHANCEMENTS
Adobe Captivate (12.2 release) lets you:
* Set any theme to default
* Delete a theme
View Themes in Adobe Captivate for more information.
WIDGET ENHANCEMENTS
Empower your learners to grasp content more effectively via two new components,
Body, and Instructions, for all widgets.
For example, in the Timeline widget, in the Components section of the Visual
Properties panel, there’s a Body and an Instruction component that you can
display on the widget.
Body and Instruction components in a widget
By default, both these components are selected. If you remove any component,
Captivate adjusts the padding inside the content block to ensure that the layout
fits in the slide. The height of the content block also remains the same.
REMOVE UNUSED RESOURCES
In this release, Captivate has added an option to clean the unused assets from a
project.
Select File > Remove Unused Items to delete the unused assets in the project.
Select Remove Unused Items option in the File menu.
OVERLAY COLOR IN THE CARD WIDGET
In the Card widget in this update, you can now change the overlay color inside a
card on the front panel of the widget.
Select the checkbox Overlay solid color.
Change the color.
For more information, view Add a Card widget to a Captivate project.
TIMELINE WIDGET ENHANCEMENTS
In this update of Adobe Captivate, you’ll be able to change the color of the
timeline bar and the color of a bar segment.
View Add a timeline widget for more information.
Change color of a timeline bar.
SUPPORT FOR UNIVERSAL MACOS BUILD
Captivate now runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1 or M2-based) Mac computers.
BUG FIXES IN THIS UPDATE
Adobe Captivate (12.2 update) fixes the following bugs:
* Add text and numbering in MS Word and copy and paste the text into a Radio
Group, Checkbox, or a Multiple-Choice question slide. When you preview the
project, Captivate behaves unexpectedly.
* Add a Match the Column slide and add four answer options. Now, enable LMS
reporting using the SCORM 1.2 standard. If a learner takes the course on
SCORM Cloud, they are marked as failed on the Result slide, even after
answering the question correctly.
* Sometimes, you may not view Adobe Captivate entirely on machines with 2K or
4K resolution. As a workaround, minimize and maximize Captivate.
* After adding a background image on a slide, a carousel widget, and disabling
the Solid Fill checkbox in the widget's Appearance section, the background
image does not display if you preview the project.
* On Windows 11, you cannot change the font size in a text block in Tablet or
Mobile mode. However, you can change the font size in the Desktop mode.
* On macOS, in a Video content block, clicking the Next button with the action
Go to next slide after playing the video does not take you to the next slide.
The Next button, however, behaves as expected, if you don't play the video.
* After taking a quiz, when you click Review quiz, you arrive on the Quiz
Result slide, as expected. But, if you click Continue, Captivate does not
navigate to the last slide.
* When you're recording a simulation on an external monitor, sometimes, the
mouse clicks don't get recorded as expected.
* Add a Timeline widget and select a vertical Design Option. Hover on any event
node and you’ll see a bounding box at an unexpected place.
* Add a Timeline widget and select a Design Option. If you remove the Caption
in the Visual Properties panel, the objects on the slide overlap. If you
select another Design Option and remove the Image from the Visual Properties
panel, a vertical line overlaps the objects on the slide.
* After installing Adobe Captivate in German locale, add a quiz slide. On
previewing the project and answering a question, a caption appears, “Press J
to continue”, in German. When you press J, nothing happens. On pressing Y,
the project moves on.
* In a simulation demo project, clicking the Apply to all slides button does
not apply the changes to the slides in the project.
* In the Theme editor, the preview pane of a theme does not update when you
apply a linear or gradient fill.
* When you export the answer options in a Radio button, dropdown, or an Input
field and import them into the project, the answers are not localized. They
appear in English.
* If the simulation project contains a video on a slide and you replace the
video with a video from the Web, the slide navigator shows the slide as
blank, when you switch between slides on the navigator.
LIMITATIONS
* On machines with M1 or M2 chipsets, we've removed the options to Import and
Export captions.
