Create non-responsive projects
My organization has decided against responsive design. They actively discourage people from using non-desktop computer devices to complete training (concern about employees doing it outside of working hours). The new Captivate leaves us in a bind. We need to be able to design static non-responsive projects as we have always done in previous versions of Captivate.
We will likely never switch until this is restored in the product. If it doesn't come before Cp Classic EOL, we will need to find an alternative product.

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.

When I add videos to new Captivate it does not extend the duration of the slide like it did in Classic Captivate.
So if I have 2 videos on a slide, I have to add up the time in my head, e.g. 8 mins, and go to the timeline and drag it to (60sec x 8 = 480 sec) which is annoying coz unlike Classic Captivate I can't just type somewhere to extend the slide duration.
Unfortunately I have to do this coz the TOC shows the slide duration so students are thinking each slide only takes a minute but…

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.

Custome fonts not working
We recently created a course in Captivate 12 using custom fonts and published it as a SCORM package for the client. During the client's review, they flagged an issue, that the fonts did not appear correctly.
After meeting with the client, we discovered that the issue was due to the custom fonts not being installed on their system. While installing the fonts locally resolved the issue, this is not a sustainable solution, as the client's large user base cannot be expected to install these fonts individually.
The font ‘IBM Plex Sans’ is available on the Google Fonts site, but it’s…

hide properties
Clicking the Properties, Interactions, Animations, Audio, and Accessibility buttons switches the panel between them. Can you make it so that when we click the currently active choice, it hides the panel? I keep clicking it, thinking it will, but it doesn't. When I'm working on my laptop though, I often wish for that 20% of the screen back.

Paste Special and/or Without Formatting
When I copy/paste between text blocks and closed captioning, I really want it to paste without formatting. I have to reset the formatting in my caption everytime I paste.

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.

Bug: Web Link doesn't work if prior text is Italics or Bold
When you add a web link, if any text prior to the link is modified (other than plain ... like bold, underline or italics), the resulting web link does not work on the slide.

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.

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.

Adjustable width of videos
In the last version of new adobe it was possible (even if it was not that easy to do that) to adjust the video to full sclae of 16:9 without the black boxes around it. Now it's not possible anymore since the newest update...something wrong here?

Make the Multiple Choice Question Shuffle Blue when activated
In previous versions when you wanted to activate the shuffle questions button, it turned blue. Now it is clear background if not activated and gray background if activated. It is not easy to see quickly or tell which is which.

Adjust timing of caption in simulation
On a slide with a software simulation, it would be helpful to be able to adjust the timing of the captions which appear on success, failure, or providing a hint. Better yet would be to add the standard "press y or click anywhere to continue" option to allow the learner to choose when to continue. Currently, when enabled, the captions do not remain onscreen long enough for the user to fully read the message.

redo the click to reveal slides. Every time I change a picture on there, it tells me "something went wrong!" in the preview and I have to redo the entire slide. This is not sustainable. Please fix.

TOC Editor Needs Serious Improvement
Changes aren't always saved. Random groups get added. Expanding a group sometimes duplicates it in the TOC. If you have a large image on the first slide, the TOC structure gets compressed in the editor window so nothing can be changed. The window won't resize, the only option seems to be to close the TOC editor window and restart the whole project.
