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.

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 -

allow text boxes to be resized
text boxes are fixed width and cannot be resized to accommodate for other objects or portions of an image. this is completely restrictive. even text boxes that are inserted manually (vs choosing one of the very fixed slide templates) cannot be resized.

Allow text / caption boxes to be placed on top of other objects on the screen, like in Captivate Classic.
It would be great to be able to place text boxes on top of video or image elements like we could in Classic. This helps call out specific things in a demo.

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.

Please consider to include an equation editor in Adobe Captivate 12.5.

Align text and button horizontally
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).

Bug: Web Links are not working on a text block
Create a text block. Enter a web link in the properties. After clicking off the text box and clicking back, your web link is gone. If you enter a web link and don't click off the text box, clicking preview produces no links.

Click Box fail message does not allow you to remove text when an image is used
If you select an image as a click box fail state, you can not delete the text in the box so it has no text at all. Any attempt to remove the text, defaults it back when I click out of the failed message box. I don't always need text.

Find and Replace
Like in previous versions of Adobe Captivate, a search for text and the ability to replace that text would be an essential feature in this application.

More formatting options Text to make the text look like buttons
It is already possible to assign an action to text so it effectively functions as a button.
I propose adding a customizable box outline and color to text could enhance its functionality and aesthetics, providing users with more flexibility in creating customized buttons and layouts.Then u could make the text match the other captivate buttons.

The Captivate version 12.3.0.12 will not allow the use of bullet or numbering format. It seems to be a major glitch within the last update.
Fix the bug that happens when you try to use bullets or numbering formats within a Captivate 12.3.0.12 content section.

Fix text formatting bugs
It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.
If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.
For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.
