![]() ![]() I don’t experience the issues that some of you are complaining about. ![]() However, I will say that I think many of you are running the software under less than ideal hardware or circumstances. The rest of you may have some valid points that I'm not picking up on. A brand-new Training Report for Administrators. Some of the highlights include: New filters to assist learners in searching for Trainings. I'm not an apologist for Adobe, nor am I necessarily a fanboy, but while Adobe Captivate 2019 isn't as pretty as what we saw in the demo last year, I still feel it's an instrumental piece of software for me. The February 2021 release of Adobe Captivate Prime focuses on improving Learner Experience, Reporting and Administrative workflows. I use it every day and am capable of building effective elearning for my clients. Incidentally, I'm curious what feature(s) people feel they are missing in Adobe Captivate 2019. Adobe could have based on the same code base we have now, giving them time to work on a significant change like Project Charm. This update could have been called Adobe Captivate 2021 and released the same month when support for Flash Player ended. I would have liked to see a version of the software that removed all the legacy features such as learning interactions incompatible with HTML5 and removed the ability to publish to PhoneGap and SWF. As a result, Adobe would have been justified in releasing it as version 12 due to the new capabilities we didn't have before. Most of these were bug fixes, but Adobe added some new features to Adobe Captivate during this journey. I wonder if we would be as upset as we are if, in August of 2018, Adobe marketed with version 11.0.0.243 and followed it up with the following updates:ġ1.5.5.553 (Windows) / 11.5.5.676 (macOS) I think the biggest mistake Adobe has made with Adobe Captivate was to switch from version numbers to version years. For example, the period between Windows XP and Windows Vista was five years due to Microsoft trying to accomplish too much with this update. It's not uncommon for new technology to experience delays. I decided to weigh in with a few thoughts of my own. Be patient and only update when you are confident this innovative technology isn't going to prevent you from getting your work completed for your employer or your clients.There have been many complaints about Captivate and Project Charm lately on the forums. I'm sure that Adobe is hard at work partnering with Microsoft to ensure all its software will be compatible with the new OS. There may be bugs that Microsoft hasn't anticipated but we also have no way of knowing if Adobe Captivate will work well with this new OS. I might install Windows 11 on that machine first, but only once an official release of the software is available. I have a secondary computer in my home that I don't use for work related stuff. I also tend not to install recent updates until the completion of any projects I'm presently working on. I never update software on my production machine until I'm confident that it's not going to impact my work. I love shiny new things, especially in the tech industry, but I'm a practical person as well. You might be tempted to find this download and install it on your computer, but my advice is to hold off. An early unofficial release of Windows 11 has surfaced on the internet and many tech journalists have installed it to get the scoop in the tech news space. That's why I want to try to be preemptive with my advice about Adobe Captivate and Windows 11. It distresses me that some users don't do the research before upgrading their hardware or software before learning the hard way that one may not always be compatible with the other. Within the last month or so I've seen some questions and comments on the forums from users attempting to use Adobe Captivate on M1 Macs.
