Hey, Paul: I love your videos! I"m continuing to explore Captivate 12.0 and 12.1 while relying on 11.x for my projects. I am very pleased that you are helping us navigate features of 12.x and that you're giving Adobe feedback as they resolve some of the "bugs" in the program. I have been a very loyal defender of Captivate and will continue to use both 11.x and 12.x with MacOS, as I've done since Captivate 8.

Hi Paul. I've been using your tutorials, and they've been extremely helpful. I'm hoping you might have some insight on this: I'm interested in tracking students' attempts to answer these questions to better understand their learning process (it's for my dissertation research). Is this kind of data tracking possible with the current Captivate version? I'm using Captivate to create SCORM packages I'm hosting in Moodle. I've set up drag-and-drop questions with the "unlimited attempts" option, but I'm finding that Moodle's interaction data only records the final, correct response. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated :)

Paul, I, too, had the same issue on a mobile with the problem overlapping and therefore drag and drop is not usable at present.

I also mentioned this to Adobe and a dialogue ensued, finishing with encouraging comments that the engineering team would resolve this buggy problem in an upcoming release.

Hi Paul, thank you for sharing your insights. Do you know if drag-and-drop is accessible in Captivate 12 or do we still need to do workarounds?

Hello Paul! Thank you for all of your videos!

For Adobe Captivate 12, can you create a video demonstrating how to publish the content in a SCROM file?

[ZombieRvolution]

Hi Paul, how do you get the images to appear once you drag them over? When I do this it turns blank. Also, do you have any videos on adding audio to this? For example they would click on the option and listen then drag it to the appropriate box. Thanks so much!

I very much appreciate this video. I've been playing around with the drag and drop feature as it has been a major feature of several courses I've built. What is hugely disappointing is that the drag objects and drop targets are limited to 6. This will keep me working in CpC, until updates allow more flexibility there. Also, as a designer, I have felt creatively confined by the lack of flexibility to be able to design freely. Two shapes for targets, and you can't even resize the circle to be an oval, or the rectangle to portrait or a square. Not going to lie, I found myself uttering a few swear words testing the limits of drag and drop in Cp.

Problem: only images as draggable object (source)
It does not allow SVG source images, i.e. not scalable sources,
which is a deal breaker for several of my projects.

Problem: maximum 6 source and 6 target objects.
Several of my Classic projects require more than a dozen source/targets.

Problem: only two drop shapes?, circle and square; not even rectangles, ellipses or other shapes.
Many of my Classic projects absolutely require custom sized rectangle drop targets.

I cannot use mouse to draw and configure the drag and drop links
I cannot graphically show drag and drop links
I cannot use use mouse to configure multiple sources to targets
I do not see any way to draw irregular shaped objects.
Importing an SVG as a hot spot brings in a graphic that cannot be scaled and looks crude.

There are too many features which are missing in the All New Captivate.
I am just beginning to explore it and am discovering limitations everywhere, compared to Classic.
The user interface is better than Classic but the functionality behind that pretty face is quite deficient.

I recently made just a text only drag-and-drop, similar to what you displayed here. However, when learners drag the items, they stack on top of each other and they can't see what they have already put in the category. Has anyone else experienced this that you know of? The amount of drag objects does not change it for me. I don't see any settings that could apply, so it may be something I have to contact support for.

I am using the drag and drop for the first time and when I preview for PC use the drag boxes are not where I have placed them on the screen. Anyone have any tips?
