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.

Icon on Carousel widget needs more customization and has bugs
The carousel widget allows you to change the arrow icon shape, but it does not have all of the customization that the svg icons typically have (such as in the buttons). For instance, I wanted to test out something other than an arrow, but when I went back to the arrow, I couldn't flip it. This meant that my arrow was pointed in the wrong direction. I could not fix it without deleting the whole carousel and starting over. Additionally, my client wanted the button much bigger, but that is not possible.
Additionally, I tried to use my own svg…

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.

Videos with Time Markers
Slide Video Blocks [to a YouTube video] is not consiste with start/end time markers.
It seems as if support for the time markers (start/end time) does not work consistently. Here is an example file: https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/p89ko9u5bsij/default/YouTubeVideo_TimeMarkersNotWorking.cpt
This file contains two slides:
- Slide 1 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [relatively short] YouTube video. The time marker seemingly starts that the correct location every time.
- Slide 2 is a Slide Video block with a Web link to a [much longer] YouTube video. The time marker never starts at the correct location and is always different1 vote -
In-built states are missing from Captivate 12.2 [at least] for the Image Grid
It's easies to look at this file (https://envolvemedia.adobeconnect.com/pwafpzqrnced/default/builtInStatesLost.cpt) for an example:
- Slide 1 uses the Image Grid and the States for this grid are missing InBuilt states
- Slide 2 was copied from an older version of Captivate 12 and includes the InBuilt states for the same widgetNOTE: This page includes an In-Built States section, even though the InBuilt states are missing from the Image Grid Widget: https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/help/states-adobe-captivate.html

Issue: Buttons, fonts, colors must be set before production
Buttons, fonts, colors set in the design must be set before starting the project, otherwise they are not updated. Can this be changed, so any later changes during production would be updated directly in all assets and presets.

Update the online documentation
Unless I'm being very unobservant, It seems like all the online documentation for Captivate is for the old version. I keep trying to accomplish basic tasks such as changing the dimensions of the project, and am getting nowhere. This is a really unintuitive piece of software.

Playbar covers content
If you set the feedback of a question slide to appear at the bottom, the Playbar covers the content. How did this EVER pass a QA review?

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.

WebGL HTML package embedding
It would useful to be able to import 3D objects into a course. This could include fbx or obj files. Game designer programs like unity can output to webGL. If we could import a webGL objects into a course we could embed mini games into courses.

Spacebar as shortcut
In all Adobe applications which have a Timeline, the Spacebar is used as shortcut key to play/pause the slide. That worked also perfectly in previous versions of Captivate, if focus was on the Timeline panel.
In version 12 the behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. Once you switch to using the Play/pause buttons it looks like you lose the focus on the Timeline and Spacebar will not be functional. Rather frustrating to unlearn the use of the Spacebar after almost two decades.2 votes -
Customize Default Preset
In all previous releases of Captivate it was possible to define another object style as Default. In this version it is impossible to set another Preset as default. That creates a lot of extra clicking when you want to use the same Preset consistently throughout a project. For texts you can edit the default style, but for other Presets like images that is not possible.

The ability to be able to export as one file is critical
You can only export to a web format, which is fine, but it means the video output is split into many files. I use Premiere Pro to compile my videos, add a title page, etc, and having hundreds of tiny files is difficult to manage, plus they can get mixed up in import to Pr. Please give us back the option to export to a simple MP4.
