allow more freedom of movement with highlight boxes and text boxes.
Having the ability to move highlight boxes and text boxes with keyboard arrows allows for more precise placement.

Allow customized carousel page styles to be copied or applied across all instances.
This would also apply to other widgets, but if you need to customize the overall appearance of the carousel slide pages, i.e.( colors, text, cards, borders, etc...) it is EXTREMELY annoying and time consuming to be forced to make the same changes over and over for each instance!
Therefore, I HIGHLY suggest adding a checkbox somewhere in the properties panel that applies your custom styles to ALL instances within the same widget. This would save so much extra production time!

Add Closed Captions to pop up and object audio.
Closed captions should be available to edit in bulk or easily in some way. There should also be a way to caption object and pop up sound to be fully 508 compliant.

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.

It's easy to get stuck when using quiz slides in Captivate
When setting up question slides, it's easy to get stuck on that slide when users navigate back to a questions slide they already answered. There is no way to proceed.
Add a questoin slide. Turn off the skip options. Turn off the Playbar in quiz. Add any navigation to allow users to go back to the question slide. Preview. Answer the question. Return to the question slide. You are stuck there.
There are many reasons to turn off skip and playbar. But users are now stuck on a question slide they already answered.

Merged Actions to be Default
I'm finding that as I write more and more actions almost always merge actions. Could you make merged the default and split would be an option?

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.

Align slide directions with direction of step being taken
When a user click in the forward direction it makes sense to have a default slide direction with the next slide coming from the right. But when they click in the backwards direction, it is visually confusing to have a previous slide arrive from the same (future) direction.
Like turning pages in a book, going back should not look the same as going forward.7 votes -
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.

Forced navigation in any button
It would be nice if we could ensure that learners do not skip lessons to complete course and allow learners to navigate to the next slide, page, or content only after they finish interacting with all the sections in a button (not only in widget). I know it's available in widget, but it would be nice to add it to any button.

Multiple choice Multiple answers: checkboxes please
For a MCQ slides with multiple correct answers, I would expect checkboxes instead of radio buttons. This is a globally accepted way to clarify to the user that multiple answers may be selected. It is contrary to all protocols that this should be chosen.

ProjectLockTOC not functional
That system variable used to be able to block all navigation by TOC. However when assigning the value True to it, the learner is still allowed to navigate to any slide.

Allow to use different image types for buttons and widgets
I've noticed that only .SVG images can be used as assets for buttons and widgets such as the click to reveal widget. It would be a good idea to allows to use other file types like PNG for these assets. Normally, I just convert them to .SVG, but recently the LMS we use decided to no longer support images in .SVG format due to security reasons, so having other file type options would be very convenient.

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

Out of tries message on results slide
The results slide only shows feedback for success or failure. Since you can limit the number of attempts a student can try the quiz, I would like to have an Out of Tries type message that would be triggered when the student has used up their attempts and failed the last attempt at the quiz. This way, I can write something like please see your supervisor for the next steps. I have a workaround, but I always prefer Adobe Captivate to have the built-in functionality. It makes development much more effortless. Here is the workaround: https://youtu.be/6Z-bU8DXlu4

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?

Question Slide Submit button bug on Scorm
I am testing my course on scorm cloud. In my course Quiz questions are present. All the Quiz slides are built using default Question slides template provided by Adobe Captivate 12.3. When I retake the quiz and close the course while taking the Quiz. Relaunch the course again, it redirects me to the question slide where I left last time. Then I select the option and try to submit the Quiz. The Submit button gets disabled. I am not able to submit my question.
