  1. Allow to use different image types for buttons and widgets

    I've noticed that only .SVG images can be used as assets for buttons and widgets such as the click to reveal widget. It would be a good idea to allows to use other file types like PNG for these assets. Normally, I just convert them to .SVG, but recently the LMS we use decided to no longer support images in .SVG format due to security reasons, so having other file type options would be very convenient.

  4. Allow the closed caption box to be moved and resized.

    The current 2 options may cover content, especially for technical presentations where the slides may have more text, animations or graphics that need to be visible during CC.

  6. Highlight Fill Outer Area

    The ability to fill the outer area of a highlight to draw specific attention to something on the software simulation screen. This was so useful in Captivate Classic. In our software simulations, we like to point out things to users on screen and this is the best way to do that.

  8. Allow customizing scrollbar

    The scrollbar on the side when something is taller than the standard window size is very hard to see and users may not recognize that it's there. Allow customization of this to make it stand out.

    On the same vein, allow buttons that scroll to a fixed anchor on the slide if you want to be able to jump down

  9. More than one checkbox

    I'm not sure why the Checkbox interaction only allows for one checkbox. It would be helpful not to add another block for additional checkboxes. Instead, selecting the number of checkboxes I wish to include in the block would be helpful, similar to how I would do it with radio buttons.

  11. Import Customized Text Captions

    Also allow the ability to import your own customizable captions and captions that point at the object users click or should've clicked. This is a huge selling point for our product and something we use. I can't even get customs to point at the object that the user is going to click, and we need to be able to show users what to click.

  12. image optimization

    Perhaps if you could add the ability to have the software optimize the images when publishing (set a max width and height or some type of way to measure it.) that would save space in the package - similar to powerpoint.

  13. Control(Command)/Shift Select

    If I have many blocks or slides I need to select to either copy or delete, I cannot control/command or shift select them to delete them all at once. With the slowness of the software (once you have thirty or more slides filled with blocks), this becomes a painstakingly slow task. It would be helpful to be able to select multiple slides or blocks at once.

  14. Playbar covers content

    If you set the feedback of a question slide to appear at the bottom, the Playbar covers the content. How did this EVER pass a QA review?

  16. Bug - duplicating a slide with shortcut CTRL+D

    I get an error while duplicationg a slide with several widgets and media objects (just pictures + text and just one short own made quiz, no videos) by pressing CTRL+D on keyboard (Windows OS, Charm Version EN 12.1.0.16).

    Duplicating using mouse right click works.

  17. Export/Import Preferences

    There are no longer Global Preferences, which you could set from the Welcome screen in Captivate Classic. That is already very bad, but not being able to export a set of Preferences and import it in a new project is really CRITICAL for localisation. I always had a set of Preferences for French, Dutch, Italian, German ready to import if I needed to have Quizzing labels in that particular language. This is more important than missing the spell control for those languages.

  18. Allow for more editing on overlays and make scroll bars always visible

    With the overlays, the text box for the body is very small. It'd be nice if we could adjust the size of the box.

    Also, being that the scroll bar is not visible, even on hover over, learners may not know there is additional content. There should be an option to make the scroll bar always visible.

  19. Allow for full editing of the quiz captions

    Currently, the font, text size, and text color of the captions on the quiz slides cannot be edited. Through Theme Editor, the caption backgrounds can be changed for success and error, but not for incomplete. The message content can be edited through Preferences, but there is no way to change the font, text size, and text color. This poses accessibility issues as there is often not enough contrast for these messages.
