Hi there, please, anybody know the roadmap, when will be released new version of Captivate? Because version 2019 is almost 3 years old softvware and I want to switch to newest version from Captivate 8. But its strange to upgrade to version 2019, at the end of 2021 -:)))

Can someone let us know that a new version is at least in the works? It's been so long and the competitors update versions every year or so - I'm worried my product of choice will become obsolete, and may be motivated to switch.

Software is only obsolete when the maker no longer supports it. Adobe is fully behind Adobe Captivate. Take a look at this sneak preview of the next version of Adobe Captivate, codenamed Project Charm: https://youtu.be/y4Wnnc7e9kY

If you would like to be invited to beta test this new version when it's made available you can fill out this form: https://forms.office.com/r/d3bjdwhqbG

This is really helpful and I had not seen it before. I appreciate you looping me in here - it looks really interesting. Please just understand that a few years of nothing makes it seem like maybe support is lacking for the product - but I can see now that work is being done. Maybe it's partially that the latest version was called 2019 - that feels like eons ago!

An excellent question to ask. However, I'm afraid Adobe never gives out their 'roadmap' for Captivate's development.

If you are thinking of upgrading from Captivate 8 I would certainly recommend you do so because there have been several significant upgrades to functionality since that version.

But to ensure you don't miss out on a new version of Captivate, just make sure you purchase the Subscription license, not a standalone license. Then you get all new versions whenever they are released.

Hi,

I agree with your point regarding subscription based purchase. I wold like to have subscription based software as i have had with office 365 subscription. But the problem with me, personally, is the finance!. I may either go for a perpetual Student and Teacher Edition of Captivate 2019 or waiting for any new version in the near future.
