Save Button
I would like to suggest a save button be physically present on the toolbar to make saving easy but also as a reminder to users to press it frequently.
29 votesHi All,
We are considering autosave feature. We already have ctrl+s to save the project.
Please let me know in case autosave feature will be more feasible rather than having save button on the top.

Change default formatting for objects
Unless I am missing something, there doesn't appear to be any way to change the default formatting for objects like Highlight boxes, Instruction boxes, etc. Or, to easily create multiple slides with consistant font formatting without manually choosing the same Preset (or custom preset). The Copy Appearance feature is not an acceptable replacement for that ability. I don't want to have to click dozens or hundreds of objects to copy formatting.

Incorporate ability to add two more blocks side-by-side by adjusting the block width.
Ability to add two or more blocks side-by-side by allowing to adjust the width of the blocks. This will help when navigation buttons or similar small elements are to be placed by the side of a text or other content blocks.

Ctrl+Z
Ctrl+Z doesn't work in French version. It shows "Save and quit" window, but it doesn't cancel the previous action. We need to clic on Modify Menu and Cancel (Menu Modifier et Annuel").

Resizing bug
I was using the demo to try to capture demo slides but the application itself would not resize. It cut tools off on the right side so the application became unusable If I used anything except for full screen. I cannot use this at all unfortunately :( No demo for me.
This happened after doing a capture however once the bug appeared it just happened even opening the app without a project.2 votes -
I hate the layout
I feel my hands are tied with this new version like something microsoft would make. You should have an advanced button that you have more control than a bunch of templates that you can hardly manipulate. Additionally, I'm surprised that you can't import your old work and have to use the classic version which will no longer exist after 2027. Its pointless to use the classic version so I will have to totally rebuild all my training programs. I don't know whos brain child this was but a total mess. Also the tutorials are awful get someone you can understand…

Touch screens
I know that Captivate Classic never has enabled the possibilities of touch screens, but for an application created from scratch, ignoring this is a pity. Why cannot I rearrange the actions in an interaction by dragging? The Up/Down arrow are not functional to rearrange the actions within one interaction. The old iPad app could use a touch screen, on my Surface Pro I only have difficulties within this new version. I can accept that for the canned templates and blocks, but not for something like actions in an interaction.

Quick Start Projects multiplying

Quick Start Projects in 12.3
Some bugs:
Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…1 vote -

Increase processing speed
I have found the application to be very slow in processing clicks. I am finding that I need to click or double click multiple times to get the application to respond. I am on a corporate network, not a dial-up, so I know it's not on my end.

Issue: Buttons, fonts, colors must be set before production
Buttons, fonts, colors set in the design must be set before starting the project, otherwise they are not updated. Can this be changed, so any later changes during production would be updated directly in all assets and presets.

have a way to share .cpt files between users (on the same VIP sharing package) that can sync so updates show to all users in real time.
Like Creative Cloud or OneDrive or Google Drive but for Captivate projects, so changes are automatically saved and available for other users when they open the file.

Keep Classic & Call this Something Else
I've been using this software since 2006 and I'm in shock at how many critical features are missing in this version of the software. I'm not even sure how you can call this Captivate. Providing feedback here is is basically adding to the list of features we need that were already available in the Classic version. We need software that is not focused on responsive design. Keep Classic and call this something else.

Support for Captivate on MacOS Sonoma
It's about time to get Captivate ready for the MacOS 14 Sonoma. In the Syestem Requirements it still says: "Note: Captivate isn't yet supported on Sonoma."
