Duplicate conditions in interaction
When creating an interaction I often need multiple conditional decisions (only THEN) to cope with different situations. Often those dedicions are similar. Captivate Classic allows to duplicate a decision, and edit it. Example: I want to add an end slide to a quiz which is available in two languages. Multistate objects are used for a character and two texts, and there are 4 possible situations: Pass+language1, Fail+language1, Pass+language2, Fail+language2. That means 4 decisions in the interaction which are very similar. I cannot find out how to duplicate the decisions. Result: I have to do the same workflow 4 times from…

Better Typography - Web fonts - options/weights
I only see a handful of google fonts as options and no Typekit fonts in captivate 12. It is missing big ones like Open Sans, Robot and Inter.
Allow us to use these or add our own custom web fonts.
System fonts do not include all weights and styles available.
While all other adobe apps support using alternative characters, Capitvate does not. You all have been one of the leaders in implementing web font technology and features, what happened?

add a module for us to create a slide header/footer
for the usual logo/couple of links menu (in my case, Main Menu and Glossary) make it a module that the user can apply and not a required slide format. As it is, the 'image' module is useless for this purpose.

Ability to drag the audio in and have a library you can reference it from
Not being able to import multiple slides of audio at once is really slowing our processes down. Please bring back the ability to import more than one file at once and to have a library where they can all be viewed at so that we can get rid of any extras that we don't need to decrease file sizes.

Ability to publish as MP4
Captivate Classic has the ability to publish as an MP4. It would be nice to retain that capability.

Improve click-to-reveal widget
Click-to-reveal widget is basically unusable as-is. The amount of text you can fit is very short and the placeholder frame doesn't expand to accommodate it, even if you remove the image/title. What you end up with is a tiny sliver of text in a much bigger box, with an equally tiny scrollbar. The pop-up window should ideally resize to fit text (within reason) but in any case, removing components like title/image should increase the space available for body text.

Allow custom Buttons in UI Theme to flow to a text button changed to an arrow button
Currently, in a custom theme's UI components text "buttons" with corporate colors (each state) do not flow to icon buttons (forward / backward arrows) Only the default color scheme flows to the arrow buttons. When producing content for multiple languages, text buttons are not suitable. Arrow buttons should inherit the theme colors of text buttons from UI Components.

Add ability to add additional text block to image block.
Currently you can only have a caption and subtitle on the image block. It would be helpful to be able to insert additional text blocks. This would allow for you to do things like adjust the timing of each text block for bullets with audio narration.

Fix inconsistent functionality of widgets on Apple products.
My Apple users who participate in courses I have built in Captivate experience inconsistent results when navigating widgets and using buttons. Specifically, exit buttons don't close the course, and flip cards delay the action so users end up clicking multiple times and the widget acts erratically.

Insert Text Boxes
The software simulation of Captivate 2023 doesn't seem to have as many options as Captivate 2019 had. E.g., inserting a text on a screen when it doesn't create one for you. This would be a great feature as this can create issues when this needs to be added where it hasn't been captured. I'm surprised with the new version, some of the 2019 features haven't automatically been copied across. Wouldn't this have been easier and then improve some of the options

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.

Combination characters in CSV replaced by Chinese characters
Dutch, like many other European languages has some combination characters. When I have the word 'creëren' in een CSV file, the two characters 'eë' after import are replaced by one chinese character. Too bad that I can't add a screenshot. I used Gill Sans as font. I am able to delete the chinese character, but there is no way to have the second ë with the double points on top appearing in any answer. This is a real important bug!

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....…

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.
