Hear, hear… Adobe Captivate 12.2 is Now Released!

As committed, we’ve been working tirelessly to bring new features and improvements to Adobe Captivate. With this release, we’ve introduced native Apple silicon support and implemented substantial enhancements to simulations, background images, themes, widgets, along with addressing various bug fixes.

What’s New in Adobe Captivate 12.2

• Simulation Enhancements:
  
  You can add or remove any number of additional components such as instructions, click boxes, highlight boxes and input fields to your simulations.

You can also download and replace background images in simulations.

• Background Image Enhancements:

You can crop the background image on a slide.

You can set the opacity and apply filters such as blur, contrast, or contrast to a background image.

You can set the focal point to display the essential part of the background image across different devices.

• Widget Enhancement:
  In this update of Adobe Captivate, we’ve added a Body and Instruction component for all widgets.

You can now set a custom theme as your default theme and you can also delete a custom theme.

• Performance Enhancement:
  You can improve performance by removing the unused assets from the project before you publish the project.
