Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.
In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

Simulation highlight boxes in theme editor
It would be very helpful to have simulation elements design properties be added to the theme editor so that they do not need to be manually changed in each project. I believe this was a feature in Captivate classic.

Ability to undock panels.
Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

pdf
Allow the Captivate project to be exported as a PDF, so learners could print all slides and retain a copy of the presentation.

Need ability to normalize audio for an entire project at once
I calibrated my microphone but the resulting audio on a simulation project was much too quiet. I want to normalize the whole project at once, not one slide at a time. I watched this video for Classic and can't seem to find parallel menus in the New Captivate. https://youtu.be/cCGwh78J3-U?si=XgXmBqghTNFaLFD5

make preview match what I see in Captivate
When I am creating slides in Captivate and go to preview them, often what I see on the preview is different than what i see on the main Captivate screen. This is extremely frustrating. See attached pics. Why are they different?

Adjustable width of videos
In the last version of new adobe it was possible (even if it was not that easy to do that) to adjust the video to full sclae of 16:9 without the black boxes around it. Now it's not possible anymore since the newest update...something wrong here?

Allow option to retain closed captions when replacing slide audio
I may tweak a small aspect of my slide's audio and upload a new version to the slide. Doing so currently (in 12.4) removes my existing captions, forcing me to redo every caption on that slide.
It would be nice to have a pop-up that asks if I want to retain or delete existing captions when changing the audio file.

Reset scrolling content to start at the top of the page.
If you have a slide with scrolling content linked to another slide with scrolling content (such as when you click continue at the end of the 1st scrolling slide) for some reason, the next slide starts at the bottom and not the top where it should!
This completely ruins the user experience and flow of content, forcing them to scroll up backwards all the way to the top. NOT GOOD! If this is an internal programing glitch, then it needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY!! 😬

Bring back the ability to embed content with IFRAMES. We still need this capability.
Removing the ability to embed web objects has really caused us problems. We need this functionality. We need to be able to embed documents from remote sources so that they always reflect the most current version of a policy, in this particular use case.

allow placement of carousel widget next to text box
I need the carousel to be next to text, not above or below. Images need to be viewed at the same time as the text is being read (not the same text as the figure caption). I also need much more images than the limited 6 (at least 15).

closed captions
I'm finding that closed captions are sometimes delayed and therefore out of sync with narration or video depending on load times. For example, I have a slide where there is a single asynchronous video and some slide narration. The slide narration takes some time to load and the closed captions are running faster than the narration. Same thing for the video captions. Also not always in synch. I think the slide should not start playing until all the multi media is loaded so that captions, audio and video are always in sync.

Dark Mode for App UI
Please provide an option to change Captivate's UI between a light and dark mode. When wroking with dark slides, the brightness of the UI makes seeing details in the slides very difficult without previewing the project, thus increasing the time required to create content.

redo the click to reveal slides. Every time I change a picture on there, it tells me "something went wrong!" in the preview and I have to redo the entire slide. This is not sustainable. Please fix.

change the hand cursor placement so it is over the click box, not instruction box
When taking a course that includes a Training software simulation, the cursor changes to a hand when the learner hovers over the Instruction caption but not the click box. I don't see a way to change this, or just remove the hand cursor from appearing over the Instruction caption.

Custom Themes Prior to Recording Software Simulations
It would be amazing to be able to apply a theme prior to recording a Software Simulation to decrease the amount of editing that has to be done after the recording. Specifically, it would be helpful if the Instructions component color and font could either be defined prior to recording. And it would be thrilling if I could edit the Instructions component color and/or font AFTER recording and have the option to "Apply to all slides" like you can with the Mouse properties. Right now, the Instructions color and font have to be changed one slide at a time after…

Allow video streaming support for Microsoft Stream
Microsoft Stream has full integration with the suite of Microsoft Products and Microsoft Sharepoint. This is an industry standard video service that we have utilized since using Captivate Classic. We would like to be able to link our videos directly from stream rather than create a Youtube or Vimeo account.
