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.

Allow video streaming support for Microsoft Stream
Microsoft Stream has full integration with the suite of Microsoft Products and Microsoft Sharepoint. This is an industry standard video service that we have utilized since using Captivate Classic. We would like to be able to link our videos directly from stream rather than create a Youtube or Vimeo account.

feedback multistate object in quiz
At this moment the default position of that multistate object is at the top. However that means that the control panel for the 3 layouts is overlapping the feedback messages during Preview. It would be better to put that default location to the bottom.
BTW, it would be nice to have the Show 'captions' remain active until they are hidden again by the developer. Now you have to show them individually on each slide, which means a lot of time loss when editing the content of those messages, since you need to scroll down in the properties panel to find…2 votes -
Icons instead of images
In the flip card widget, it would be helpful to use icons as images. It would be a time saver.

User manual to be updated
Some confusing sentences:
At the start 'Launch Preferences' I see "On the toolbar, select Adobe Captivate > Preferences".. A menu is not a toolbar, and for WIndows users (still the majority) you find it under Edit, Preferences. BTW I logged the bug that the shortcut key is not working on an AZERTY keyboard, while the former SHIFT-F8 worked perfectly.
General Preferences, Default locations. It is no longer 'Publish at' but 'Location'. Due to the confusion for many users and problems in the past, a warning message should appear to avoid using the same folder for both and about not using…

SVGs should not be cropped to the placeholder icon
When using the SVG media block, custom SVGs are always cropped to the form and size of the placeholder which is cicular or square. That was never the case when using SVGs in older versions, and is also not the case for bitmap images, which can resize to the placeholder. I create the SVGs in Illustrator, and of course I will lose the chosen font if I don't convert text to vectors. That I can understand, but not the cropping

Play video by clicking video instead of the tiny little play button in the corner.
If you want a scrolling course with multiple videos you have to use the video grid media block. When you use them the only way to play the videos is to click the tiny little play button in the bottom left corner. When you're in the program you can click the video to play it, but once you preview or publish it you lose that functionality. You should be able to just click the video to play it because that a much more intuitive workflow.

Allow for closed captions when video is playing full screen.
When in full screen mode that can be accessed from the "Grid" style Video Media block, the closed captions are not visible. Additionally, a "CC" toggle button should be available on the default controls of the full screen.

Software Sim background record issue
When I record a software sim, regardless of if it's demo, assessment or training, the actual application I'm trying to record (a web based app in Chrome, but true for any app) does not get recorded. Instead, I see only my desktop background image (in my case, mountains with grasses and trees). The click boxes and instructions/text captions appear in the right spots, just not the actual application. See attached screenshot to see what I mean.
I found threads for a similar problem long ago in Captivate Classic, the solution being to make sure you are running as an admin....…

Be able to group slides together
I want the ability to group slides. In this use case, it would track different branches in scenario-based training. Still, thinking back to Captivate Classic, there are many reasons related to other features that would benefit users.

Adjust dimensions of tabs manually
Currently the tabs automatically adjust their width or height depending on the content area. Especially with the tabs stacked on the side this can be quite annoying, as they change position when they adjust their size. It can also be quite ugly, design-wise. I would like to be able to set a fixed height on the tabs.

Recording from within a project should have all three options for recording.
Currently recording simulation from within a project gives you radio buttons, therefore you can not record the demo, training, and assessment at the same time. This is useful if you have build up some knowledge slides then you wanted to add a software simulation as a demo and training for example.

Quiz TOC checkmarks depending on right/wrong answer
Previously, we used Adobe Presenter, where the TOC indicated by different symbols whether the answer to a quiz question was right or wrong.
In Captivate 12.3.0.12 (German version, Windows), the TOC displays a green "passed" checkmark if the slide has been seen, even if the recorded answer is wrong.
Please let checkmarks be configurable - or at least display an appropriate checkmark (red "x" or similar) for all quiz slides with a wrong answer.1 vote -
Certificate download file size and missing "save as" option
The "Download" button saves a file with fixed name "captivate-certificate-[n].pdf" with an index n.
1. ICan the user please be prompted with a system dialog to save with a file name and to a location of his/her choice?
2. The PDF contains a rasterized image of poor quality (see text sample attached) but astonishing size (~5 MB). Can the file please be configured to be as small as possible, with a printable text quality as fitting for a respectable certificate?1 vote
