Spell check but also AI driven grammar, spell check and improved writing
I realize that I’m not the first to suggest this in the forums, but since Adobe Captivate 12 will be the first AI-driven version, I recommend taking it a step further. It would be beneficial to include a tool similar to Grammarly that checks spelling and grammar while also enhancing our writing for both on-screen content and AI voice-driven captions. This feature could help improve our on-screen text and spoken narration, ensuring that they represent the best version of our writing.

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.

Make Images Exportable for External Editing
I can't find a way to edit an image from Captivate in Illustrator or Photoshop. I am being handed a Captivate file and not always all of the source files used to create it. It'd be really helpful to have a right click and 'Edit in Photoshop' option for when the graphic file is not available. This function exists in other Adobe products, please add it to the new Captivate.

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).

Accordion Widget formatting
Accordion should also allow:
- formatting the text inside the accordion tabs content, as now you can only apply presets, but not add bold or italic to the content
- more than one tab open at the same time as an option, or all the tabs to be open altogether
- copy and paste appearance of tabs
- include the tab text in the states, so the text can have different colours in each state1 vote -

Accessibility Bug: The scrolling text area does not have a tab index
The click to reveal widget forces a scrolling text box. This text box cannot be scrolled by a keyboard user, because there is no tab index on the box itself. It is also not clear that the text box is scrollable, because the thumb for the scrollbar is hidden until scrolling with the mouse. This box should be responsive on browser zoom and expand vertically to show the text, rather than cut the text off in a scrolling area. If it must do a scrolling area, that scrolling area needs the scroll bar thumb as an indicator, and also needs…

Editing Closed Captions
When I paste in what I learn is too much text into the Closed Captions area for text-to-speech, I cannot CTRL+X the text I wish to remove. I was able to to do this in 12.5 or earlier.

mouse click sound
When I preview a slide, the sound of the mouse click during the mouse movement plays at the beginning of the animation even though the timeline shows it near the end. There is also no way to adjust the time when a mouse click plays. Sometimes I want to fine tune it. It does play correctly when published. Just the preview has this issue.

Improve the Accordion Widget with enabling next button after navigation
Implement the possibility of only making the "Next" button visible after the user has navigated all or some of the tabs. Or at least, that we can assign interactions to its tabs buttons so we can turn visibility of buttons or work with variables.

Bug: Click to reveal setting not working
When you add a click to reveal and set the setting "Move to the next slide when the widget completes" to on, it never works in the course. I had to add a button to allow the user to continue on in the course. I would also add a "widget complete" variable so I can use logic to determine the status of a widget when I need to add conditions. For example, I only want my "Continue" button to appear when the widget completes, but there is no options to find the status of the widget.

Adding an Accessibility Checker
Having an integrated accessibility checker in the All New Adobe Captivate would be immensely beneficial for ensuring that content consistently meets accessibility standards. It would be nice receive actionable feedback based on key WCAG guidelines, allowing for the immediate identification of accessibility issues, similar to the features available in Adobe Acrobat, MS Word, and MS PowerPoint. If Adobe Captivate could implement this, it would be a game-changer, particularly in light of the new ADA Title II digital accessibility rule about to hit a lot of areas.

Bug: Copy & Paste Between Projects
Copy and Paste between projects has now been included, but many slides crash upon pasting into the new project. I can paste some slides with no issues, but others cause the program to crash. I can reproduce the crash over and over, but can't seem to narrow down the reason why some slides cause the crash. I can narrow down to particular slides however. Also, add the ability to Drag & Drop slides between projects. Captivate 12.5

Course Crashes when pasting formatted text into a text box
I have a lesson on AI that asks the user to paste the results into the text box to verify they completed the task. When a user clicks the "Copy" button at the bottom of ChatGPT and tries to paste that into a Captivate textbox, the course crashes. The text box should only allow "plain text" to paste and remove any formatting - or add a rich text box which would allow for additional formatting to be pasted.

BUG: Resetting Drag and drop widget objects states
When the user clicks on "RESET" button to start a new attempt, the drag objects don't return to their "Normal" state, instead, they return to the "Dropped" state (picture attached after resetting shows objects that were dragged and return to dropped state).
This is quite confusing.
Also, the hover has an inconsistent behaviour when the mouse mover over the images, not always the mouse pointer is detected and make the objects flick between the normal and hover states.
This widget is far from useful or complete with so many bugs and terrible responsiveness.

When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...
