User manual to be updated
Some confusing sentences:
At the start 'Launch Preferences' I see "On the toolbar, select Adobe Captivate > Preferences".. A menu is not a toolbar, and for WIndows users (still the majority) you find it under Edit, Preferences. BTW I logged the bug that the shortcut key is not working on an AZERTY keyboard, while the former SHIFT-F8 worked perfectly.
General Preferences, Default locations. It is no longer 'Publish at' but 'Location'. Due to the confusion for many users and problems in the past, a warning message should appear to avoid using the same folder for both and about not using…

SVGs should not be cropped to the placeholder icon
When using the SVG media block, custom SVGs are always cropped to the form and size of the placeholder which is cicular or square. That was never the case when using SVGs in older versions, and is also not the case for bitmap images, which can resize to the placeholder. I create the SVGs in Illustrator, and of course I will lose the chosen font if I don't convert text to vectors. That I can understand, but not the cropping

Allow for closed captions when video is playing full screen.
When in full screen mode that can be accessed from the "Grid" style Video Media block, the closed captions are not visible. Additionally, a "CC" toggle button should be available on the default controls of the full screen.

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....…

Transfer value system variable to user variable
It seems not to be possible to transfer the value of a system variable to a user variable, at least I have been trying without success. I want to show partial results of a quiz in a custom results slide (the default results slide has no Enter event). This means that I need to transfer the score obtained so far (Quiz.Score) to a user variable. There is a action Assign variable to variable but I am not able to indicate the quizzing system variable.

When allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop, provide a 'try again' caption.
Provide a ' try again ' caption when allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop. Also when you have an initial attempt that is incorrect, provide the option to automatically reset the drag sources back to the original positions.

I hate the layout
I feel my hands are tied with this new version like something microsoft would make. You should have an advanced button that you have more control than a bunch of templates that you can hardly manipulate. Additionally, I'm surprised that you can't import your old work and have to use the classic version which will no longer exist after 2027. Its pointless to use the classic version so I will have to totally rebuild all my training programs. I don't know whos brain child this was but a total mess. Also the tutorials are awful get someone you can understand…

Bug: Hotspots move when changing the window size
If you change the window size, the hotspots move away from their fixed positions. If you repeat this behaviour, the hotspots move further and further outwards until they are no longer accessible.

External user feedback
Just curious how I can share this project for reviews with external stakeholders. From my experience with Articulate 360; there are robust sharing features where the SME or other individuals can leave comments on the project. Is that feature available or in the development pipeline

Adjust dimensions of tabs manually
Currently the tabs automatically adjust their width or height depending on the content area. Especially with the tabs stacked on the side this can be quite annoying, as they change position when they adjust their size. It can also be quite ugly, design-wise. I would like to be able to set a fixed height on the tabs.

Certificate download file size and missing "save as" option
The "Download" button saves a file with fixed name "captivate-certificate-[n].pdf" with an index n.
1. ICan the user please be prompted with a system dialog to save with a file name and to a location of his/her choice?
2. The PDF contains a rasterized image of poor quality (see text sample attached) but astonishing size (~5 MB). Can the file please be configured to be as small as possible, with a printable text quality as fitting for a respectable certificate?1 vote -
Responsive behavior for Background Image
Allow a 'focal point' for images when they change sizes in Captivate projects
Sharepoint pages do allow you to set the 'focus' of an image for when the portal changes size, it lets the author have some control over how the item is shown to users without having a ton of options to configure each time.

Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.
We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties
I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.
It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.
Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

Link javascript file to project
Include an option to link an external javascript file to a Captivate project. In Cp 12 in particular such a link would be good in the "Project properties" under PUBLISH SETTINGS. An external js file would allow a sophisticated use of moderrn JS within a project. It would also go along well with the concept of ADD JAVASCRIPT CODE TO THE PUBLISHED HTML AT RUNTIME, formulated on https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/captivate/help/javascript-interface-adobe-captivate.html.
