Copy appearance should work for all items.
E.g. in widget flip card, image and title appearance can be copied and pasted. I miss this option for the card itself (component background), incuding border-radius, color, stroke and shadow.

Feature request: Saving design options for components and widgets
Would be great to save own design options for components and widgets. Also importing/exporting would be helpful to share with customers and team mates. After styling a widget I cannot simplychange the layout without loosing several changes made earlier.

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.

Change margins of text in carousel widget.
Without an image the text spreads across the screen, which is far to wide of a line length for on-text reading. If there is already a way to do this, please make it more obvious. I spent way longer than I should have before giving up. Honestly, it's a terrible design that you can only change these margins on some element. Don't even get me started elements have handles that don't do anything (resize). It's as though the developer have no concern for standardized user interfaces, which is what really makes things intuitive and easy. Why must we constantly click…

Progress bar widget
It would be nice to have a progress bar widget that could be pin on top of the slide to let user see his progression in the course.

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

Fix problem where pasting from external program pastes text twice.
Pasting text from browser or acrobat pastes the text twice for some reason. Then I have to delete half of what is pasted. Why does it do this? Please fix this problem.

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.

Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection
Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.
So the company CI must be fully applicable.
Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

Film strip
When you click on a slide in the film strip can you apply a larger stroke to highlight the slide? It would make it easier to see what slide you are on.

Keep drop-down areas open unless I close them
In the Properties area, there can be many drop-down menus I'm trying to view when viewing Appearance or Interactions. Sometimes I need to switch between these to view a setting for an object, and I'll have just opened a drop-down menu. Then, it's closed when I come back to it. I've found that it would be much more user friendly to have these drop-down areas stay open once I've opened them even if I navigate to something else in Captivate. Then, it would be my responsibility to close them if I don't wan to view them any longer. For example,…

Fix theme color selection - Bug Report
Issues with the color options in the Theme Editor - it doesn't actually show the color I select and when I click Apply, it shuts down completely.
I recorded a video to show what is happening.
This is the new Captivate - and just updated this morning.2 votes -
Grouping
I want the ability to group select multiple media blocks to quickly move or cut and paste to a different location. I tend to lose my place when transitioning between slides when cutting content from one slide to the next.

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.

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.

space bar plays/pauses
Unless we are actively editing text, can you make it so that whenever a timeline shows, the space bar plays/pauses? Please include the timeline for closed captions.

Show full slide name
Please show the entire slide name. I would say give the option of showing two lines on the list of slides. Even if you can do that though, please display two lines or more in the properties area on the right. It kills me that you have to click on the name to edit it, in order to use your arrow key to move around and read it.

Custome fonts not working
We recently created a course in Captivate 12 using custom fonts and published it as a SCORM package for the client. During the client's review, they flagged an issue, that the fonts did not appear correctly.
After meeting with the client, we discovered that the issue was due to the custom fonts not being installed on their system. While installing the fonts locally resolved the issue, this is not a sustainable solution, as the client's large user base cannot be expected to install these fonts individually.
The font ‘IBM Plex Sans’ is available on the Google Fonts site, but it’s…
