Add the option of using a Thumbnail image for the video before it starts playing
The first frame of a video not always represent what the video is about. When using videos on Slide Video or the Video Grid, it would be good to have the option of having a thumbnail image displayed before the video starts.

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.

Rename Text to Speech Audio Tracks
Would like to be able to give audio a custom name, both in the timeline and when exported. "Text to Audio1" not very helpful.

Hyperlink improvement
Hyperlinks do not always work. Our policy link looks like this and Captivate 12 doesn't accept it: https://epm.azahcccs.gov/EligibilityPolicyManual/index.html#t=Policy%2FChapter_400_AHCCCS_Medical_Assistance_Programs%2FMA0413.htm
If I convert it to a tiny UTL, that type of link does work. https://tinyurl.com/EPM413

BUG: Resetting Drag and drop widget objects states
When the user clicks on "RESET" button to start a new attempt, the drag objects don't return to their "Normal" state, instead, they return to the "Dropped" state (picture attached after resetting shows objects that were dragged and return to dropped state).
This is quite confusing.
Also, the hover has an inconsistent behaviour when the mouse mover over the images, not always the mouse pointer is detected and make the objects flick between the normal and hover states.
This widget is far from useful or complete with so many bugs and terrible responsiveness.

BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6
I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.
If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…

When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer
A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
- Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!
Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply…

Mouse Pointer Settings
Allow for editing the color of the mouse pointer or include the one that looks exactly like a mouse on your computer. We want to be as realistic as possible and the mouse that looked most accurate in Adobe Captivate Classic is not available in the All-New version of Captivate. The closest looking one is gray, but there is no way to change the color of it to white.

split closed captions
I wish there was a way to position the playhead, then position the cursor in the caption, the split it into two captions. Even better, it would be great it if you could type in one caption, then set a number of words/characters and Captivate could split the caption up itself. Instead of this useful stuff, all we get is a little yield sign in the upper right telling us the huge caption will obscure the screen.

Copy and paste alignment and spacing from one block to another
I have about ten blocks on a particular slide. I manually set the alignment and spacing for each one, and then I had to do it again for tablet and mobile view. It would be nice if I could right-click on a block, copy the alignment and spacing, and then apply that same alignment and spacing to other blocks on the same slide, or for that matter, anywhere in my project.

Unrestrict element placement and size.
Currently unable to place button anywhere within the button field. All have to be together within the field, meaning limited design options. Also Icon buttons, should be able to re-size the icon within the button. Elements on screen, such as Text and Image, should be easily changed in size. At the moment, very restricted as to how the course will look. Classic Captivate was ideal as we had free rein over the design.

Change the "Project End" actions option in the Preference Panel to revert back to "nothing"
When you are setting the Preferences / Project / Publish to computer, if you choose one of the actions in the "Project End" option, you cannot revert back to nothing if you choose "Loop Project", "Close Project", "Open URL or file", or "Run JavaScript".
In my case, I have selected the action "Close Project" but changes my mind, now I cannot revert back to nothing...
This is outrageous as I have to generate this project all from scratch because of a silly configuration issue.

Being able to copy and paste images
It would be helpful if images can be uploaded via copy/paste. Similar to how PowerPoint works, when an image is pasted onto a slide an image block is used. Also being able to copy images to reuse them without having to go through the file pathways to find the image source would help simplify and speed the process.

Bug: Can no longer Preview or Publish
I'm having an issue since the 12.5 release. I have a project with 100+ slides and new AI voices. When I preview or publish, I get only a blank screen that appears to load, then nothing happens. I can not publish anything now.

Allow re-ordering of buttons in a button block
It would be helpful if you could change the order of existing buttons that appear in a button block.
For example -- I have a project with two buttons. I've already set up complex interactions for each button. Now, I want to add a third button to the same block. By default, the third button appears on the right, but I want it to appear on the left. There is no way for me to move it there. Instead, I have to re-do the buttons I've already created and programmed.

Allow for adding captions to any audio, not just at the slide level. For example audio attached to slide objects or interactions.

Text Box Functionality
Make inputting text into a text box more responsive.
I often find I am clicking a text box 3-4 times just to add or change text inside of a text box. Once I get into the text block I then need to click where I want the cursor to be, but it just unclicks the text block and I have to go through the process again. It's not difficult to click multiple times, but after having to do this to 50+ text blocks this simple little action can get very annoying very quickly.
Maybe implementing a single click into the…1 vote -
We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect
We have encountered screen freezing issue in Captivate Quiz if there are some disruption/network disconnect. The learners are stuck in a question where options and submit button are disabled. Using Skip button is not a good resolution for us. We request at least these two features to consider Captivate as an authoring tool that meets our requirements:
• Resume/Restart bookmark popup in LMS (Not only one of them)
• Ability to add bookmark in Question screen timeline1 vote
