bug: variables are copied when copying interactions
When an interaction, including variables, is copied, a copy of all variables is automatically created. However, these additional variables are not needed and cannot be deleted.
For example, if you have 4 buttons on a page that each need to check if 5 variables have a value of 1, you can enter this manually, which is quite tedious. Alternatively, you can set it up once manually and then copy it. However, this results in having a total of 20 variables instead of 5, where only 5 are actually needed. The remaining 15 variables are redundant and cannot be deleted, causing…

Navigation by TOC
In all previous versions it was possible to control navigation by TOC. You could either choose to allow free navigation or navigation to visited slides. That very important feature which even could be an alternative for resume a session when not having access to a LMS (within limits with cookies) is completely lost.

Add an image to the Question stem
I can't believe there in no option to have an image as part of the question stem. You can add them to the answers but that is not what I want.

Course loading progress indicator.......
When a user starts a course, it would be helpful to show a loading progress indicator in the browser to show that the course is loading. In Captivate 12, there is only a blank screen. There is nothing to show the user that is something is happening until the course finally loads and is displayed.
I have attached 2 files.
1. Captivate2019 which shows the loading progress indicator
2. Captivate12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.2 votes -
Hint message???
In Preferences, Quizzing, Default Labels there is a 'Hint message' but after in-depth exploring this has no sense. There is no way to activate a Hint to appear, the multistate objects for the feedback messages during quizzing and Review do not have a Hint state at all. Moreover it is impossible to add custom states to any button, including the embedded buttons on quiz and score slides. I tried with multiple attempts on question level, where a hint would make sense from the second attempt, but situation is the same.

Adjust slide appearance for imported question pools
I have a comprehensive exam with 17 question pools and 350 total questions. When you import into a question pool, Captivate does not use a master slide. There is no way to adjust the Correct and Incorrect states font and text color for all the question slides in a pool. If there was a master slide associated with the imported pool, the appearance of those states could be edited in the master and applied to all the questions in the pool. Alternatively, allow states to be copied and applied to an entire question pool or to all selected slides.

Allow images to be moved anywhere on screen and then allow interactive elements to sit next to them
Currently, I can not have an image on the left and an interactive question or dropdown on the right - I can only have text and the interactive element shows under everything. These elements should be able to be next to each other.

Character block not displaying characters as expected
I used the character block with the standard design option. Added my own images and the result when previewed isn't what it looked like in design mode. I would love to know what I've done wrong.

Deprecation of JavaScript "unload" event
we have received the following notice from one of our partners:
I am reaching out regarding the upcoming deprecation of the JavaScript “unload” event in Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This change is expected to be fully enforced by Q2 2025 and may impact the functionality of SCORM content hosted on our platform. As part of this deprecation, content that relies on the "unload" event for bookmarking, course completion, or other interactions may no longer function as expected. To prevent any disruption, we kindly request that you review and update your content to replace the unload event…

add the ability to add audio to widgets/tabs or custom interactions to their buttons
widgets do not allow different audio on different tabs or custom interactions when the buttons are pressed. Example: a carousel with steps on different tabs should play audio for step 1 when viewing step 1, on clicking step 2, i want to hear audio for step 2 and so on. For hotspot buttons, young learners, should be able to hear the name of each part separately when they click on the different parts. on click interaction for hotspot buttons, carousel, and all widgets will make them more usable.

Share for Review Show Slide Number for Quick and Easy Revisions
In the Share for Review feature, it would be helpful to know what slide number a reviewer comments on so developers can navigate quickly to that slide. Many eLearning modules have slides that look the same, especially question slides, so knowing the slide number would be helpful.

Create a java script or interaction that will rewind audio. When attaching audio to a slide, the learner cannot rewind the audio.
Currently, it is possible to use JavaScript to create a button to rewind video files within the captivate project, however, there is no similar functionality available for audio files attached to slides. This limitation impacts the learner's ability to revisit specific parts of the audio content.
I recommend adding an option under the interactions section or as part of the timeline settings that enables users to rewind audio attached to a slide. This feature could allow creators to configure rewind increments of 5, 10, and/or 15 seconds(or provide custom intervals). This functionality would make it easier to review the content…

Divided Content Containers
Add the functionality to have content containers that only take up 1/2, 1/3, or maybe even 1/4th of the screen to enable more flexible and fuid content design within the slide.
An example would be to have a logo in the header on the page with the image on a 1/4th content divider and the header on a 3/4th text content divider. I understand there are already content presets with an image in it; however there is very limited flexibility in modifying the spacing and location of each item in the preset.

Usage Variables
Please, restore the possibility to see if and where user variables are used in a project. This is very important, als partially due to a bug created a while ago that variables sometimes get duplicated without any warning about the reason, and they get of course a number added to their name in that process to keep the uniqueness of the names. It is now really a clunky workflow to try to find out why the variable was created and which one is used where.

Review Multiple-Choice Question slides properties when copied and modified from single-choice to multi-choice
In Classic Captivate, for a Multiple Choice (single-choice) question slide, we were able to copy it, modify to (multi-choice) select the correct multiple answers and it would work fine. Now, that is not how it works. When duplicated from single-choice type, modified to multiple answers - the duplicate inherits the single-choice type answer and cannot be changed. Not desirable.

Ability to adjust size of a button
Right now, the only way to adjust the width of a button is by adding spaces to the text. It would be much better to be able to define a width, possibly a similar way the Alignment and Spacing of a block is handled. Also the space between buttons should be adjustable.
