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.

Poses missing from Asset Library
I went to add some characters to a conversation block today and found that while I could select the character, there were no poses to select from the asset window.

change the hand cursor placement so it is over the click box, not instruction box
When taking a course that includes a Training software simulation, the cursor changes to a hand when the learner hovers over the Instruction caption but not the click box. I don't see a way to change this, or just remove the hand cursor from appearing over the Instruction caption.

Provide a more complete implementation of JavaScript that supports $.post to a php script
In a Captivate 11 project, I have some JavaScript that I use to communicate with a php script on a web server. The php script receives information from the Captivate module via a JavaScript post command, and it subsequently updates a SQL database. This is non-functional in Captivate 12. It appears that the ability to call a post command is blocked or not implemented. Here is my post command in JavaScript (specifics replaced with asterisks).
$.post('https://www.**********.com/insertexdata.php',{vcapModule:rptSystem, vcapDataElementText:modText, vcapComment:commentAction, vcapUsername:myStudentName, vservername:myServername, vusername:myUsername, vpassword:myPassword, vdbname:myDbname}, function() {});

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.

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…

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.

The ability to not have Black Bars on Video Slides when the video resizes
When placing a slide video in on the "canvas" it would be good to not have the video have massive black bars at the top and bottom.
Kind of makes the video aspect ration options irrelevant, when regardless of what you select there, the video has massive black bars on the top and bottom in a a 1:1 square

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.

Allow DIVs
As of now, you can select blocks that have two columns for text or an image on one side and text on the other....Just as in wordpress, you should allow DIVs to create columns or rows so we can divide a page into sections and then put whatever elements we want into each section. This is perfectly responsive and is used in a lot of web page development. It would give immeasurably more creativity for design!

Find and Replace
Like in previous versions of Adobe Captivate, a search for text and the ability to replace that text would be an essential feature in this application.

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.

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.
