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.

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.

Restrict Navigation until Slide End
Many stakeholders request that navigation be turned off until the slide/audio completes, i.e., forced navigation. In order to accomplish this currently, I have to either create my own navigation buttons or hide the playbar upon slide enter and show it at the end of the slide. The latter option isn't feasible because users can no longer toggle closed caption on/off while audio is playing. Both workaround options are time consuming.
I propose adding a feature that allows the developer to disable only the forward button (not the entire playbar) until the slide audio completes.

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.

Improve the inspector interface by using features similar to other adobe products
All other adobe CC products have a small arrow button interface to allow pixel increments in measurements for everything, including using the scroll wheel in the mouse to increase or decrease numbers. Captivate interface could have the same, with immediate response in the results for precise checking. Typing numbers sometimes seem to be time consuming, especially when you want to change small increases/decreases on different fields.

Widgets and carousel should have more than 6 items/pages
The current timeline widget, carousel widget, hotspot widget etc. only have up to 6 items/pages. I've been working on projects with a 15 point timeline, or an 8 point hotspot activity, or a 9 page carousel. Which means, I couldn't use these widgets and had to come up with my own custom design, which is very time consuming and more difficult than it needs to be.
Please add the ability to have at least 15, or a custom defined number of items/points/pages in a widget or carousel.

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.

Knowledge check slide icon
I really miss the little icon that would display in the filmstrip under knowledge check slides. It was great to be able to tell at a glance which question slides were KCs and which were graded. I feel like I have to go to each slide and check in the property inspector now, which takes more time.

Flip Cards need to allow rearranging of order
The flip card widget needs to allow the user to drag cards to rearrange the order. I am having to rebuild the page, when I should be able to grab one card in my row of 3 and reposition it.

different boxes not only up til down - but also from left to right
Hi, normally you can add elements which are from top til down.
But sometimes it is helpful for design issues when we can put elements (pictures, texts, buttons, graphics) from left to right.So there is more flexibility in designing the slide.
