Dynamic bookmarks
First goal of 'bookmarking' is to enable micro-navigation. However New Captivate can only create static bookmarks. It is not possible to create dynamic bookmarks generated on runtime. This was possible using the Movie Control category of system variables combined with Movie Information variables. Examples for the Adobe forum:
1. Having a button on a long (video) slide allowing to move to a Help slide, and come back to resume the video where it was left.
2. Having a button which allows to navigate forward or back for a time segment (like 20secs) on a long slide whenever it was clicked.2 votes -
have a way to share .cpt files between users (on the same VIP sharing package) that can sync so updates show to all users in real time.
Like Creative Cloud or OneDrive or Google Drive but for Captivate projects, so changes are automatically saved and available for other users when they open the file.

Issues with multiple languages
To translate a course the new version has lost a lot of features which were available in CP2019:
1. In CP2019 all used labels in Quizzes could be edited under the Quiz Preferences. Not only the Default labels, but also the Messages on the Score slide. Now some labels need to be translated using the Properties panel of the score slide.
2. I hope the Export/Import of Prefrences will once be restored and will have all those labels, not only those in the reduced Preferences in New Captivate, A modern application, should even do this automatically.
3. When CSV import…1 vote -
widget
We had created a series of free Widgets (Captivate Classic terminology - not related to widgets in Captivate). The Captivate Classic widget functionality was great, because it allowed us to create a custom UI and include JS to the published file. Our widgets are here: https://envolvemedia.com/custom-applications/#captivate
A simple example is the Save As Widget. The Captivate developer could use their own button instance that when clicked would just save the contents of that slide to a PDF or Image on the end-users machine.
Captivate [New] doesn't allow for these widgets. Even creating a "Custom Design" does not support setting custom…

Allow customizing scrollbar
The scrollbar on the side when something is taller than the standard window size is very hard to see and users may not recognize that it's there. Allow customization of this to make it stand out.
On the same vein, allow buttons that scroll to a fixed anchor on the slide if you want to be able to jump down

Bring back the Slide Notes feature
We use the Slide Notes feature often in Adobe Classic to add notes, things to remember, and our audio script. It would be a very helpful feature to add to this newest version.

language of the project
In the accessibility panel, we can select a language for each block. For now, it need to be changed manually for each block. It would be useful to select the language by default in the project settings. As I develop french content, I need to change manually each block language.

Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate
360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

Conditional or advanced interactions are slow and not very glanceable.
What was nice about Adobe Captivate Classic was that I could glance at the advanced action window and quickly determine the triggers and subsequent actions. The interactions panel hides much of its content, making it difficult to see the work that has already been performed and see what is yet to write. I want Captivate to display more details about what conditions and actions have already been performed.

Add extra actions to the widgets
When you add a tab widget it would be nice to be able to add our own actions to the buttons, this would allow us to add our own custom validation or extra text to appear after all tabs have been seen.
I would expect the actions to make the widget would be locked but we could add extra.
Another example would be to use the flip card widget as a way to create a knowledge check or show images if certain combinations are selected.

Create a process widget
Create a process widget. It would be great to have a process widget. The old version was a circle which is nice, but there could also be a horizontal option that shows a process for instances that do not repeat themselves in a cycle.

Menu is not costumized
It's impossible to customized the menu, like to block to access slides not visited.

Localisation quiz
There has not been any improvement to the localisation of quiz and score slides, on the contrary. Translation of the Default labels still has to be done manually which is weird for a new app in this world of AI. Moreover since you cannot export the Preferences, Default labels anymore, you have to repeat that translation for each project.
The Press 'Y' in the second step of the submit process should also be translated automatically when creating a project in another language than the language of Captivate.
In a modern application I would expect a choice for the project language…1 vote -
Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection
Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.
So the company CI must be fully applicable.
Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

Keep Classic & Call this Something Else
I've been using this software since 2006 and I'm in shock at how many critical features are missing in this version of the software. I'm not even sure how you can call this Captivate. Providing feedback here is is basically adding to the list of features we need that were already available in the Classic version. We need software that is not focused on responsive design. Keep Classic and call this something else.

Support for Captivate on MacOS Sonoma
It's about time to get Captivate ready for the MacOS 14 Sonoma. In the Syestem Requirements it still says: "Note: Captivate isn't yet supported on Sonoma."

Buttons in widget slides (bugs)
When I select an option in the DESIGN OPTIONS for a timeline slide, the button don't get "pill" shape, instead it gets the "circle" shape.
When I try to apply a linear gradient, I have little to no control on the direction of the gradient.
Even if I manage to apply the style, it seems I can't apply it automatically to all the other buttons.
Also, if I'm required to add more custom buttons, could you please give the possibility to replace them with .SVG AND allowing us changing the size? We can hardly read the icons in the actual…

Import Customized Text Captions
Also allow the ability to import your own customizable captions and captions that point at the object users click or should've clicked. This is a huge selling point for our product and something we use. I can't even get customs to point at the object that the user is going to click, and we need to be able to show users what to click.

I just started testing the updated Captivate Classic. Why was the Preview next 5 slides removed?
In the updated Captivate Classic, the Prevew next 5 Slides option is no longer in the Preview drop-down. Why was that removed? If I have 100 slides and I want to check the timings on slides 90-95, I don't want to preview the entire project and try to guess where to click to start my preview. I can't preview just one slide at a time if I am checking the timings when switching from one slide to another.

Allow for radio button choice to be detectable as a condition for actions
Right now I have to create a separate variable for each radio box component just to track which one was chosen.
