Lack of mobility in software.
I want to like this software as a designer, but the fact that I cannot move things around, is a little upsetting. I believe if you make that change it would help designers out a lot.

Bug: The update to 12.6 and Tab widget content
The newest update pushes all content left-aligned when published and in preview mode; however, when designing, it shows with the spacing.

Text Box Functionality
Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
Maybe implementing a single click into the…2 votes -
Create a menu in the font palette to set-up substitute fonts
It would be good to have a way to choose which fonts might substitute the fonts that the user does not have in their device or computer.
In my project, I am creating a module that uses Lato font. When opened in mobile, it substitutes for Georgia, but this is not the best option. In my case it would be best substituted by Arial.
You should create a form of hierarchy in the Font palette, where you choose the fonts that will substitute the fonts in your project.

allow for a fixed multiple choice answer when answers are shuffled
A lot of us use "All of the above" (and sometimes even "None of the above") as a multiple-choice answer, but from a layout perspective it only makes sense to have that (or those) answer(s) at the bottom. Another way to think about it would be to only shuffle certain answers, but not others. Maybe creating a fixed class and having it positioned at 16 (given that 15 is the limit)?

Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

Dedicated Description Location option
I would like a dedicated location where all the timeline callouts appear in the same location. There are times when the callout blocks out the other hotspots, when the callout appears. I often times have a location on the image that is clear and would like that all callouts appear there since they close each other out.
Ultimately I would like to manually move the callouts to where ever I feel is the most appropriate location.

Widget Bug
I've spent hours rebuilding the same slide several times. I've replaced the backgrounds on the cards with images. I reach a certain point in creating overlays etc - then get an error message in the browser on preview saying "Something Went Wrong." Then, I have to start over. I've wasted so much time, and I'm realising The All New Captivate is full of glitches and bugs! Please help.

Create an "on screen" interaction trigger
In projects with scrolling, we should be able to add interactions to when a block enters the visible screen. For example, when a character block is scrolled to, animations could be added to the characters and audio for the specific block could begin playing.

Reinstate Timing panel for component animation
Using the drag feature on the timeline to stagger entrances is not user-friendly at all. I'd really like to see the same usability we have in Classic, where you select a component and can fine-tune both the timing and animation in the same panel. These functions are linked 90% of the time, so there's no reason why you should have to go to different panels to design animation and component timing.

button audio
Allow the use of asset audio files on a button click. Currently you can attach a play audio interaction, but you can't select the audio file from the asset library.

Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make accessible, keyboard users need a visible focus area
Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make a click box accessible, it needs to have a visible focus area (high contrast) to indicate when a keyboard user is on the object. When using buttons, or states, of an object, the states are only visible when using a mouse (states will not show when navigating a course with the keyboard).

Please add Advanced Interaction
I use it to check items included in the quiz and all the URLs. It would be great if there was a window where you could see all the URLs associated with buttons, links, and actions. You could also update the URLs in that window. I spend many hours every year checking and updating URLs in my projects.
If Adobe could have a URL forwarder for Captivate that we could use to maintain URLs outside of the LMS, it would be even better. I know that I can pay for a service like this, but it is cost prohibitive.

add the ability to embed audio in hotspots and carousels
hotspots cannot trigger audio when clicked. for example parts of the body. When user clicks or hovers over the hotspot, they should be able to hear the name of that part. we can have an interaction like play media for each hotspot or embedd the audio in the callout. The same can be done for all widgets and carousels. they currently have no ability to play audio

menus
Can you add everything back into menus? I just want to publish and what not, without having to find the right button on the screen. Just have menus with all the commands. People can ignore them if they want.

split closed captions
I wish there was a way to position the playhead, then position the cursor in the caption, the split it into two captions. Even better, it would be great it if you could type in one caption, then set a number of words/characters and Captivate could split the caption up itself. Instead of this useful stuff, all we get is a little yield sign in the upper right telling us the huge caption will obscure the screen.
